Cardz TV Challenge #11 "Anything Goes!" Day 2

Welcome back to day two of the Cardz TV Challenge #11!  For my next project I decided to make a post-it note holder.  My daughter and I were in Michaels and happened to see some Hello Kitty post-it's.  My daughter and I couldn't resist.  They also had these cute little dimensional stickers on foam tape.  The post-it pad and stickers were only $1.50 each!  Needless to say, my daughter wants me to make these for her friends.

 So I measured the pad and came up with this cute little post-it note holder.  The "A Sweet Hello" came from the Cardz TV Stamp "Ticket Talk 2."   The pink Bazzill cardstock was cut at 3 1/4 x 6 5/8.  I scored it at 3 1/8, and 3 1/2.  The ribbon came from my ever growing ribbon stash.

I hope you have been working on your project for the Cardz TV Challenge "Anything Goes!"  Just create a card or craft project using any theme or colors you'd like.  After you've created it, head on over to Mary's blog and add your name and a link to your project into Mr. Linky.  You have until Midnight EST June 24th.  Mary will be using random.org to pick a winner.  The prize will be a set of her Cardz TV stamp sets, WINNER'S CHOICE!  I can't wait to see what you ladies create!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Please leave me a comment, I would really love hearing from you!

Cardz TV Challenge #11 "Anything Goes!"

Welcome to the Cardz TV Design Team Challenge #11 "Anything Goes!"  Mary over at Cardz TV gave our Design Team a Challenge to create a card or craft project using any theme or colors we'd like.  So I dug into a craft recipe book that I've had for a few years with projects I haven't done.  A friend had shared this recipe with me after she had given me one of these cute little purses with a gift card inside.  So I decided to make a few of these since I had never made one.

For the sentiments on the front, I used 2 different  Cardz TV Stamp sets.  The "God Bless You" and the "Sending You Love" came from the "Encouraging Thoughts" set.  The "It's Your Day" came from the "Make A Wish" set.  I really like how they turned out.  I hope you like them.

Now it's your turn to join our Challenge!  Just create a card or craft project using any theme or colors you'd like.  Once you've completed your project, head on over to Cardz TV and enter your project into Mr. Linky with a link to your blog.  You have until Midnight EST, June 24th to enter.  Mary is giving away a set of Cardz TV Stamps, WINNER'S CHOICE!  I hope you join us!  Also, I hope you check out my DT sister's blogs for more inspiration.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I would REALLY love to hear from you!  I will be posting a second project on Saturday so I hope you come back to my Castle to take a look.

Father's Day Card

I know Father's Day was yesterday but I wanted to share the card I gave my Dad.  I have had this recipe in my book for a long time but never made it, so I decided to give it a try.   I was in a rush and forgot to take pictures of it with a nice background, so here it is on plain white.   The stamps are from Cardz TV.  I used the "Father's Day" set.  I put the slider on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base.  He really loved it.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I  would really love to hear from you!

Notebook

The Queen is going to be needing another craft recipe book, so I decided to make a jazzed up one.  At my local craft store Bennion Crafts I found these note books for $1.00.  I thought it was a great deal.  So I picked up a few.  They also have paper packs with patterned paper for only $1.99 by Nicole Crafts.  Needless to say I have bought several different packs.  I ran the white cardstock through the Cuttlebug using the Kassie's Brocade folder.  I found the little stamp at Bennion Crafts.  It was only .99.  It has the Keep Calm and-- then you can interchange 6 different sayings that go with it.  1. Knit, 2. Draw, 3. Sew, 4. Paint, 5. Craft 6. Carry and then the On stamp.  I used EK Success punches for the flourishes and the corners.  I used bling from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I would really love to hear from you!

"My Guy" Cardz TV Cardz TV Challenge #10 Day 2

Welcome back to day 2 of the "My Guy" Cardz TV Challenge!  For my day 1 project, please scroll down to yesterdays post.  My daughter wants to give her father a tin sort of like the one's I gave for Mother's Day.  Well the one's I had found for those had flowers on them.  I knew those wouldn't do.  At Bennion's Crafts (a local craft store) I found these metal tins.  I used the same double sided paper to decorate it and for the Hershey Nuggets.  I put some brown ribbon around the lid.  For the sentiments, I used the Cardz TV  Stamps set "Father's Day."  For the blue ribbon I used the Stampin' Up! scallop circle punch and the 1 1/4 circle punch.  I just cut some strips of matching paper and notched the ends with a corner punch.  For the sentiments I used Paris Dusk Memento ink.

The Challenge over at Cardz TV is still going on through tomorrow night.  I hope you are up for this challenge and enter.  You have until Midnight EST to make a card or other project for Father's Day or a masculine Birthday card.  Easy peasy right?  Then head on over to Cardz TV and add a photo of your project into Mr. Linky with a link to your blog.  Mary will be using random.org to pick a winner.  She will announce the winner on Monday June 11th.  She is giving away a set of Cardz TV stamps, WINNER'S CHOICE!

"My Guy" Cardz TV Challenge # 10

Welcome to the "My Guy" Cardz TV Challenge #10!  Our wonderful DT leader Mary over at Cardz TV gave us a Challenge to create a card, gift, or project for a masculine birthday, or Father's Day.  For this post I chose to make a card for my daughter to give to her father.  For this card I used the Cardz TV Stamp set "Father's Day."  This is a wonderful set.
                    

I'm not sure what this style of card is called.  I used Bazzill cardstock and cut it at 5 1/2 x9 3/4 and scored it at 1 1/8, and 5 1/2.  I found the double sided patterned paper at a local craft store called Bennion Crafts.  It's by Moxxie.   I used A Child's Year for the silhouette.  I cut it out at 2 1/2 as well as the shadow.  It can be found on page 40.  I love the little pony tail.  I used Elegant Edges and cut the oblong piece at 3 1/4, as well as the shadow.  I used mini-buttons from my stash in the corners.   I used a 3/4, 7/8, and 1 inch circle punches for the D A D on the outer flap.  On the 3/4 circle punched pieces I stamped the letters using a Studio G alphabet set with Rich Cocoa Memento ink.  I used Paris Dusk Memento ink for the front and inside sentiments.   On the inside, I used my favorite EK Success corner punch.  I used a half circle of Velcro to close the card.  And of course I put a picture of my sweet girl on the inside.

Now, it's your turn!  All you have to do is create a card, gift, or project for a masculine birthday, or Father's Day.  Then, go to Mary's Blog and enter your project with your name and a link to your blog into Mr. Linky.  Easy peasy!  You have until Midnight EST, Sunday June 10th.  Mary will be using random.org to pick a winner.  She is giving away a set of Cardz TV Stamps, WINNER'S CHOICE!!!!  She will announce the winner on Monday June 11, 2012.   I hope you come join us!  I hope you stop by my other DT sister's blogs and check out their awesome projects.

 I'm going to have a second post on Saturday for the Challenge.  I hope you stop back.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I would really love to hear from you!
