TLC278 ~ Magical Marquee Card ~ (06/21/10)

Toy · 06-20-2010, 07:02 PM

Howdy Stampers!

I�ve been MIA for the last week. Lots of drama going on in our household and we�ve finally gotten a handle on it. I feel like a weight has been lifted!

I want to thank everyone for their positive responses to my post last week. I have received a few new ideas that I think you all will enjoy. Quite frankly, I was starting to look at the TLC as more of a job than an adventure, but I have a refreshed view now! It�s kinda like the old saying �If you don�t like the weather, wait five minutes, and it will change�.

~ Magical Marquee Card ~

I received a heads up from Wendy W (Wendybell) a bit back that directed me to this cool card she had seen on JanTink�s Stamp Paper Scissors blog (<--- click for tutorial). This is a fun one! Jan has a video tutorial on her blog to help you figure things out. I will add that she used Stampin� Up punches for her project, but I used Nestabilities. It�s a little more work to use the nesties as you have to do a bit of measuring to make sure everything lines up, but don�t be afraid! I found it helpful to have several sticky notes handy to hold things in place while I uhhhhhhhh��can I say �tinkered�? Pun intended!

Here is my sample:

~ Tea For Two Marquee (Inside)~

Please remember when uploading your card to include KEYWORD TLC278 (no spaces)

You can find the entire TLC278 gallery HERE.

Now go have fun!

Hugs!

Hope all is well Holly, WE LOVE YOU!

Serenity_Stamper · 06-20-2010, 07:16 PM

Can't wait to see these! How fun! Love Jan's card, and yours! Blessings, Lela

sleepyinseattle · 06-20-2010, 07:18 PM

Hugs to you Holly, hope all is well now.
Thanks for a fascinating challenge, can't wait to give it a try!

lacyquilter · 06-20-2010, 09:13 PM

What a great card technique. Hopefully, I will be able to make one in the morning. Thanks, Holly.

Whenever drama was going on in our house it always involved the kids so I do hope everything is OK. Just to let you know you are truly appreciated by us ( techies ). I checked out the link and I'm going to give it my best but I don't have any punches like those shown so if I don't upload something it won't be for lack of trying. Elizabeth

markie's mom · 06-20-2010, 09:52 PM

WHOA...This was totally new to me...and I decided to use SPELLBINDERS for mine...This was not easy. However, I was a bit slap happy when the creation time went OVER an hour.LOL

Hope all is better now, Holly! Hugs to you!

Here's today's submission

Cook22 · 06-20-2010, 10:08 PM

I remember seeing MariLynn making a few of these a while back and meaning to try them. Looks like today's the day to get round to actually doing and not just intending. I'll have to get through work and housework first, but I'll be along later.

StampOwl · 06-20-2010, 10:43 PM

Oh cool ... I actually have made a few of those in the past week which I was going to use on my blog next week.... I will have to rearrange what I am posting so I can use one this week

yahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Clownmom · 06-21-2010, 01:45 AM

What a cool technique, Holly! I'm going to give it a try when I get home from work. I think it's going to take somewhat longer than the time I have before work. Hope all is well at your house!

Vicky Gould · 06-21-2010, 02:18 AM

For some reason, the video does not come up for me. Jan's blog does, but there's a big blank where the video should be. I tried Explorer and Firefox, so I guess I'll have to pass, but it looks so interesting - thanks, Holly - hope all is well now. Hugs.

DawnL · 06-21-2010, 03:03 AM

good to hear things are better Holly!

I did one of these when Jan first put up the tute.......hmmmm.....I might give it another try.

Vicky, try rebooting or something...it came up fine for me.

Well, I just watched the tutorial and boy, Jan was detailed and made me laugh, too! I hope to get to try it.

Here's mine: TLC278 White on White Marquee Inside by jdmommy at Splitcoaststampers This is the inside. Holly, I don't know why it took me more than 2 hours, but I'm never gonna do this again!!!

hobbydujour · 06-21-2010, 07:51 AM

A fun ...and REAL...challenge today, Holly. It took me a while to make this one, but it would be somethiong great for a special friend or family member. Thanks! Jan's tutorial was a great help!

This is definitely going to be a challenge for me as I have a hard time stamping straight with a Stamp-a-ma-jig. What I see & what actually is don't always line up. LOL Well off to my craft room to give it a try. Hugs, Trish

heavensent · 06-21-2010, 11:37 AM

Oh My is all I have to say on this one ...

Open Sez Me

Worked on it for a couple of hours last night before having to put down to clear my head ... Definitely a challenge, but I love the result. Going to try to make another a bit more jazzed up.

TrishG · 06-21-2010, 12:31 PM

Thanks Holly, Jan and Wendy for sharing this great technique. I LOVE it! It took a long time to make. This will be a special card to give to a family member or close friend (or sell for $50! ha, just kidding!)

I wish I was able to take better pictures. The pictures really don't do it justice and I'm so happy with how it turned out!

I think I might try it again sometime, now that I've got it figured out.
Thanks again! Great TLC!

marilynprestonn · 06-21-2010, 12:45 PM

Thank you Holly, this was a fun challenge. It did make me work on it more, but I am quite happy with the outcome. Thanks for hosting, really do enjoy these kind of challenges.

Wow! This was really a challenge! I've worked for hours trying to get mine right. I think I need to learn how to read my ruler! TLC 278 Happy 4th of July by yo sam at Splitcoaststampers
