"Try , try and try again"

Friday is Tutorial Time at  MFPSpeedy TV, go here for this weeks Tutorial: http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/tutorial-time-on-speedytv

If you make a peek a boo card and enter it into the challenge you may win a new stamp set!!

I  really feel  we need to better use what we have  in our stashes. In the stamping world beautiful new images are poured out like a feast for stampers to indulge in.  Unfortunately the images are there but the ideas to use them when we get home  are not!  This is why Speedy Tv is such a great tool  hosting  many challenges  and offering an awesome selection of tutorials! Naturally they go hand and hand with their beautiful stamps!

This week the Tutorial is the peek a boo card. And It was a real problem for me.  I just couldn’t get the measurements correct and I couldn’t visualize the assembling.  I think I was just a total Duh on this one.  I even thought about not doing this assignment!  But I thought no, I have at the smarts of a fifth grader so I will just keep working at it!

So after so many attempts:

 

I decided to find a tutorial on you tube:  and then changed the punch  to something simpler to line up!

There are many of them, you can just do a you tube search on peek  a boo  cards to find one that suits you.  I used the “Be Virtuous set and Dragonflies” both are new July releases !!

 

I did end up putting a small piece of acetate over the images to help the card slide better.  Do to a couple of ink splooges, I will use a note card and tape it in to the card when I am ready to use it.

This card took me two hours!!  And as I was making it I said never again!!  But once I had the “A Ha” moment I thought I can’t wait to make a bunch more!!

Give it a try, nobody could be worse at this than I was, and the end results are so great, totally worth the time to learn a new trick!!

Thanks for stopping by!
