I love this set because it has great masculine images and a banner. The banner is just one banner with different words that can be stamped in it. This banner could and will be used as a Birthday Party banner on future cards. I will stamp Birthday and then have the Party in the banner. On the inside of the card I will print up the party invitation! You could also have it be a Thank You card for gifts you received on your birthday. There are many uses for the banner and I am looking forward to playing! Great set!

This week's cards in review!

For the Thrifty Stamper column on MFPSpeedyTV.ning.com we focused on plastic ribbon masking

Today's Tutorial Time challenge is this darling shoe!

This week's Themes from the Orient column and tutorial are about Oriental Weaving.

Heavens to Betsy! I just realized I used the same butterfly image on all these projects! Thank goodness I colored him differently! I made these at different times weeks apart. You'd think I only had a few stamp sets! heehee

Today's Sneak Peeks are from Holiday Tag:

This card was sponged with brown to make it look vintage.

I have a new Natural color cardstock that was given to me by my daughter. I have been making vintage type cards.

The mini that is FREE this month when you buy 4 sets is called

Nature's Sketches

This card is simple and clean.

The image was colored with a marker. I huffed on it to make the ink wet and stamped. Next I sponged in the color. I think it looks like a dandelion puff. The background is onion printed.

My Cards this week!

So far this week!

Tutorial Time has this great challenge: Altered clip board! You can find it here:

http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/tutorial-time-on-speedy-tv-challenge-65-9-06-13

I didn't have a clip board to alter. I did have a big bull clip and a piece of heavy chipboard. I spray painted the clipboard black. Then I added the cardstock layers. I finished the project by applying 3 layers of Modge Podge. I waited 15 minutes between each layer. You can use Elmers Glue as Modge Podge.

These two cards were made for my Thrifty Stamper column on MFPSpeedyTV. You can find it here:
http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/bleach-painting There is a full tutorial on both cards, too!

This card was made for my Themes from the Orient Column on MFPSpeedyTV. You can find it here.
