FOSTV136 - Masculine Card

This week at Friends of Speedy TV our challenge is to make a masculine card.  Most of us find these a challenge but we all need them.

My card is quite simple but uses several MFP sets
All Postal
Island Life
Calendar
Plywood
In My Den

 

You can find details of the challenge here and we would love you to give it a go.

 

Thanks for coming over - have a great week.

FOSTV112 - Tent Card



My card today uses 3 Marks Finest Papers sets -
Ivy and Blossoms,
Brick Wall Mini and
In My Den

 

Our challenge this week is a tent card and there are instructions at Splitcoast if you need them here

I made mine as a Christmas card as we have many friends and neighbours with cats.  I used a photo for the back panel as I don't have suitable MFP stamps but I did add the chair from In My Den.

 

 

Here is a closer view

I used dies for the window and the cats.

There is a prize this week of the set called Broom Rides for one lucky participant in our challenge so please join us and have some fun with your tent cards.

Wishing you a great week

 

FOSTV75 - Vacation

Happy Monday to you. At last the sun is shining in the UK and some people may be thinking about holidays and getting a break.  In the USA the children are already out of school for the summer but as we all know there are at least 6 more weeks to go here - here's hoping the teachers have the resources both mental and physical to cope until then.

Today's challenge at FOSTV is to make a card or project relating to holidays (aka vacations).  Most of you will probably think of summer breaks in the country or by the sea but some may think about winter or city breaks or indeed holidays at home. I went for the easy option a palm tree against the sunset - one of my favourite times - sunset, especially on a beautiful beach.

The card uses 3 MFP sets
Flamingos on Vacation
In My Den
Scenic Selections

We would love you to join our challenge so please do check it out here - it will be challenge 75.  There will be a prize (Corn Ears Mini) for one lucky participant so it is certainly worth having a go!

See you soon.

FOSTV74 - Bookmark

The FOSTV challenge this week is to make a bookmark.  I gave my bookmark 2 sides using the recently launched Marsh Birds on one side and No Sour Grapes and the books from In My Den on the other.

Apologies that my photos are small but as I have already given it away I cannot do anything about it.  We would love as many people as possible to play along with our challenges so please join us - you can use any stamps you like and you will find the challenge on this page at Speedy TV - challenge number 74.

If you are having a holiday today than I hope you are enjoying it.

Happy New Year!!! Welcome to the first blog hop of 2013! We are so excited to share the great stamp sets we are releasing this month and the months to come. 

I like the images in today's set but struggled when it came to making a card - do you ever have those days? 

 

Wanted to make something for either a retirement or for when someone is going off to do something different.  I was originally looking to say something like "you have all the time in the world" inside but I needed to find an MFP stamp that is current and would work so used one from the set called "Here Comes the Grad Mini".  I used Basic Grey papers that have been in my stash for ages and dies from Spellbinders.  Copics were used for colouring.

 

Here is the outside of my card (sorry about the photo quality)

 

 

 

and here is the inside

" OH Baby"

 

 

 

Here is another card I made with this set.
