Envelope Card

The Challenge at Speedy Fox and Friends is to make an envelope card. I decided on this version.  There is a video for this one on Speedy TV. I found many different ones out there in Google land. Try your hand at it an add a card for a chance to win a great stamp set.

Tutorial Time at Speedy TV

This week was an interesting technique. We stamped on strips of paper and weaved them for the background. Check it out.  Click on challenges and then on Tutorial Time. Here's my card. The very back layer is one of the backgrounds made with stencils during week 2 ofSpeedy TV Basic Backgrounds. Almost all of the stenciling is covered up by the other layers but I though it was a nice touch for the background.

Here's a sneak peak of a new stamp set being introduced next week called Classic Dad by MFP a HC. Watch for the Blog Hop to begin on Tuesday to see the whole set. 

 This one is colored with pencil on water color paper. 

This one uses the wording that comes with the set to make my background. 

Basic Backgrounds Week 4

Here's the card made during this weeks work on the column for Speedy TV's  Basic Backgrounds. I've shown you how I did this tile with a stencil but then showed how you could do the same thing even if you don't have this stencil.

Let's make a fussy cut border - June SSSD technique

OK ladies here we go. Take a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" piece of card stock and fold in half to make your card base. Decide on your stamps or stamp that you will use. One stamp alone will work fine. I am using 4 different ones. Stamp them on post it notes. 

Cut them out. These will become our masks. Now if you use 1 stamp, stamp it at least 3 times on the post it notes. 

Line them up to decide on your design.

Stamp the first one on your card base. 

Add your mask and stamp the next stamp overlapping the first image. Remember we don't want these to line right up with the edge. We will be cutting the edge out around the stamps.

Add your second stamp and stamp the next image

Repeat with the rest of your masks and images. HINT: store your masks with the stamps for another time you may want to stamp and mask with them. 

Here's my images all lined up along the edge. 

Color them in if you want. 

Open your card and cut along the edge around your images. 

Add a strip of paper to the back inside flap of your card. This will show behind your imaged border.

Finish your card.
