Friends of Speedy TV Challenge

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! Welcome to another Friends of Speedy TV challenge. I know everyone loves to use die cuts and we all have favorite ones. This week we asking that you use die cuts on your card.  On my card I have used Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily  to showcase my image of  a Poppy, stamp from MFP, a Heinrich Co "Welcome  Poppies" Stamp Set. The poppy was stamped in brown and colored with Copics. I stamped a butterfly from MFP "Daffodil Greetings" Stamp  Set and attached to the circle with the flower. This image was attached to a card base of Lustrous Pearl Oyster  CS. The sentiment from MFP "Island Life"  is cut with a Spellbinders Die and placed on a strip of DP.

Bling, Butterfly, and Bow in Purple and Green

This card was made with Cheery Lynn dies Swedish Spring Oval Frame and Butterfly Small die cut.  I used a lavendar card base and attached a die cut in green  cardstock over an oval of metallic lavendar card stock.

Added purple rhinestones to the flower cutouts on the frame and added the butterfly also colored with copics and glaze pens. Rhinestones added to the body of butterfly.  Finished with a sentiment and bow. Rhinestone flowers were added to 2 corners.

Gift Box for Christmas

I had fun making this mini pizza box for Joan's Garden challenge. I just love this box that Selma showed us how to make in a tutorial  last week. Thanks for sharing this with us, Selma.  Check it out at Selma's Stamping Corner here. I made this box using Basic Grey Christmas paper from Figgy Pudding.  I stamped a GKD Poinsettia stamp from "A Year of Flowers"  twice with Versamark and embossed with Gold EP. I cut out the 2 flowers, shaped a bit and stacked with pop up dots. The band was made with a strip of GKD Cranberry Tart layered with a strip of the same paper as the box but reverse side. A Flourish cut with Cheery Lyn Die Fanciful Flourish  was layered on the band . The Poinsettia enhanced with pearls on the cyathium was placed on top. This box will qualify for several challenges.

Challenges:
Joan's Garden: Challenge is use Selma's new technique for creating a box, use a band around the box, use Christmas Paper (Graphic 45 if possible),and  decorate the pull off band. I did not have Graphics 45 paper but mine is Christmas.

Craft Your Passion:  Challenge is Bingo. I used the top row - Flowers, Pearls, Use a Punch.

Papertake Weekly:  Anything goes plus a bit of bling. Used pearls as bling.

Bearly Mine: Anything but a card.

Cooking It Up With Katie: Ingredients are: A-Anything, B-But, C-a Card. All together the challenge is Anything but a card.

Crazy 4 Challenge: Theme is wrap it up!

BasicGrey Challenge: Anything Goes.

Thanks for stopping by. I love to read your comments. Theresa

Cheery Card for Speedy and More

I seem to be making more and more square cards but I need to make some envelopes so that I can mail them. This card is for Speedy the Cat's Friends color challenge. One of my favorite MFP's Stamps is Happy Pansies that I use a lot and used again. I found the sketch from One Stop challenges for a design but changed the oval to a circle since I wanted to use the doily that I had precut.

Challenges:
Speedy the Cat's Friends: Lori wants you to make a cheery card using yellow, pink and green.
BasicGrey Challenges: Doilies and ribbon. I have both of these and Sweet Threads from BasicGrey.
One Stop Craft Challenge: Used Val's sketch shown above.

Supplies:
Stamps: MFP's "Happy Pansies"
Copics, Memento Tuxedo Black and Rose Bud
Papers: BasicGrey Sweet Threads, SU Green , Yellow and White CS
