MFP Tutorial Time Ch #13 Criss Cross Card

Welcome to the 13th Ch. on Tutorial Time at Speedy TV.  This week our wonderful Lois Bak has our tutorial for the "Criss Cross Card"  technique. Check out our DTs cards following this Tutorial at Tutorial Time on SpeedyTV Challenge #13.

For my card I made the insert by layering clear recycled heavy packaging (to make the top firm so that the laminating machine wouldn't Curl & Eat the top portion of insert that didn't have cardstock to the end)  BUT FIRST I stamped the fruit bowl and chef on white CS & colored with Copics, Then I  made a reverse image by stamping on my Stampa-a-ma-jig and transfering onto white CS by placing stamped side onto the paper & pressing firmly with a brayer (I did have to go over my image outline with a sharpie pen).  I colored both with Copics also & cut both images out and glued together so both sides were colored, I stamped Celebrate BIG! on both sides of yellow CS & heat embossed with black. Then I inserted into laminating sheets & sent through the heat laminator.  See the back of my card with the insert to the right. I used ribbon for my belly band with  the sentiment cut out with Sizzix  "Have a great Day"  Framelits (arrow).

Now its your turn,  follow the Criss Cross Tutorial at SpeedyTV and you could win this stamp set:

MFP Tutorial Time Ch #11 "Stamping & Coloring Vellum

This is week 11 on Tutorial Time on SpeedyTV.   This week's tutorial is "Stamping & Coloring on Vellum"
 by Tammylee.  Click on the link above to see this week's challenge & wonderful samples by the Design Team.

For my card I used  the stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrichs Co. called Silly Shells
 I used white vellum & framed it with the blue CS to hold it onto the page.  I love the way the color shows through the vellum & how the background DP has a muted look.
The blue CS is from the DCWV "Summer Dream" cardstock stack which has regular cs & blue, red, white & off white glittered sheets (only 1 each of the glittered)


So now it's your turn to try this technique for the chance to win this stampset pictured below:

Em's Bday card for her Mom

Em (7 1/2 Year Old)   heat embossed 2 dragonflies with black EP & colored dragonfly with Sharpie pens.  After a little help from Mema for cutting them out, she then glued string in between the 2.  She cut out holes in card base with Spellbinders Scalloped ovals & glued the string on each side so the dragonfly floats in the hole.

(2012 c42) I'm In Stitches

For this card I used I'm In Stitches 2012  stamp set foaund at Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich's Co.
I mounted the images on a Side Step card base.  You can see a tutorial at Tutorial Time at SpeedyTV
The sentiment is stamped on vellum & heat embossed and framed with triple layers of DP for strength to hold the vellum.   I used Spellbinders Scalloped Circles, Classic Circles & Labels 18.

(2012 c41) Use 1 Stamp for Focal and Background GinaK Designs

The  rose stamp is from A Year of Flowers by Melanie Muenchinger.  You can find the stamp set at GinaK Designs at StampTV.
The sentiment is from Friendship's Garden by Asela Hopkins also at GKD.

I started by stamping the rose with a light pink  on the pink background paper, then I took cherry red & stamped the same rose on the yellow background.  I stamped the focal rose 3 times on watercolor paper in red & then colored with 3 shades of red with Copic Markers.  Then I cut out sections of petals and curled them & added dimensional glue to layer on top of each other.  I also gave the leaves dimension by rubbing the back side with a large tipped embossing tool. (this is how I "curled" the rose petals too)

I'm editing on Thursday Aug 9

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

RACH!
