Here is my glass block...

I had the hardest time with this!  It's not that is was super hard it was that I didn't have good paint.  It looks so messy but it does look better in person than in a photo.  I used the "Christmas Cardinals" stamp set from Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Co.  I tied the glass block with some sheer ribbon and some red Christmas tinsel tied a bow on top and there you have it.  Hope you will check this fun tutorial out and try one.

 





Tutorial Time on Speedy TV # 9

Well here's to another Friday everyone!!!  Hope you all had a good week.  Mine was a busy one.  Had to travel lots.  I'm just glad it's almost Saturday!!!
We have a really fun tutorial for you again this week on Tutorial Time on Speedy TV. This week one of our talented designers Pam Stang will be showing you  how to make a "Tent Topper Card".  It's really easy and works up fast.  I hope you have a chance to give it a try.
Here is my card:
I used the new "Asian Delights" stamp set.  I just love how pretty this set is.  There are so many beautiful stamps in the set to chose from.

  We have this fabulous stamp set from Mark's Finest Paper, a Heinrich Co. being given away this week to one lucky winner who enters a Tent Topper Card.
 

 Remember if you use a stamp set from Marks Finest your card will be entered twice. So lets get crafting everyone!!!

Here is my Ornament with Shrinky Dink
I used " Christmas Cardinals"stamp set from Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich company for my "Shrinky Dink".  I put some cuts of lace and flower soft inside of the ornament.  I then tied it up with some velvet pink ribbon, vintage lace, and added a strand of pearls for the holder.  I hope you will join the others and see all the sweet projects that they have made this week.  Remember we still have two days left so hope you stop by again. (note... this was soooo hard to photograph!!!!)
