Quickie Tree – Tutorial #405 and Extreme Blog Candy!
Woo Weeee! I am pressed for time today! I’m preparing to hit the road at 3:00 a.m. tomorrow morning to travel from Ohio to Wichita, KS to teach this weekend so, I’m currently burning the candle at both ends.
With that being said, I want you know that this card was thought up, created, pictures taken, and posted in 1 hour 15 minutes. My normal post take around 3.5 to 4 hours. That is why this card is named Quickie Tree, lol. No time to think up an appropriate name. Plus the actual card was created in 10 minutes. Hope it doesn’t look like a ten minute card, lol.
Before I jump into the tutorial though, I have some blog candy to announce. I’m feeling pretty generous, so I’m giving away a bundle of 4 of the Stampin’ Up Extreme Stamps (Extreme Skateboard, Extreme Snowboard, Extreme Dirt Bike and Extreme Surfboard).

Punched a 2 1/2″ circle from Whisper White card stock. Love this large circle punch!
Brayered Peach Parfait ink on the card stock.
Brayered Melon Mambo ink on the card stock, not covering the Peach Parfait ink entirely.
Brayered Rich Razzelberry ink at the very top of the card stock.
Inked up my tree, not the pot on the stamp, using Basic Black ink and stamped it on my card stock.
Sponged a couple of hills at the bottom of the card stock using Basic Black ink.
Colored in the trunk of the tree and extended down the ground area using a Basic Black marker.
Added White Gel Pen highlights to the leaves of the tree.
Cut a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of Basic Black card stock. Added a 4″ x 5.25″ piece of Melon Mambo card stock. Added a .25″ x 5.25″ piece of Basic Black card stock down the middle.
Punched 4 Word Window punches from Basic Black card stock.
Held the 4 Word Window punches together and cut one end off of them. Adhered them to the card stock.
Also added a 3.25″ square piece of Basic Black card stock behind the main image panel.
Added White brads and here is the finished card measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″.
May you weekend be super fun and filled with family and friends!
Until my next post. . . . . . . Because I’ve got to run!!!
Huge Hugs,
Michelle

I have enjoyed seeing your tutorials over the years and get so many ideas from them.
Also, I look forward to doing cards for your sister’s cause – a wonderful cause. Sometimes we need an excuse to do one more card and this is an excellent reason. Stay well.

Please enter me in your blog candy drawing. I’d sure love to win this! I check your every post and am always amazed at your talent and beautiful work. Hard to believe this is a 10-minute card! It always takes me longer than that to even come up with an idea! Awesome!

Your tutorials have given me confidence in believing that I too someday can take on making a card(s) that are the high caliber of cards like yours. I thank you very much for sharing your cards with all of us card makers alike:)

Michelle,
Your title, “quickie tree”, might be changed to Mt Fuji….to me it looked oriental, and with the earthquake in Japan yesterday, I thought at first glance you had thought of a way to bring empathy to Japan.
Whatever is the case, it’s a lovely card.
