"You've Got Mail!" Cardz TV Blog Hop

Hello my crafty friends!  Welcome to the Cardz TV Design Team Blog Hop!  If you arrived here from Elaine's Blog, you're headed in the right direction.  Mary over at Cardz TV just released a new stamp set called "Snail Mail."  This is a fun little set that can be used for many different kinds of cards.
                                     
For my card base I used the Birthday Bash cartridge.  The base was cut at 4 3/4.  I hand cut the white mat at 4 3/4 inches.  The patterned paper is from Doodlebug and was cut at 5 inches using the cartridge.  The snail and envelope were cut at 2 1/4 inches.  On the inside, I used an EK Success corner punch.  The white mat was cut at 4 3/4 inches.   I also put the snail on an Action Wobble.

What's a Blog Hop without some candy?  Mary over at Cardz TV is giving away two sets of her amazing stamp sets!  Woo Hoo!  All you have to do is leave her a comment on her blog to be entered.  She will be using random.org to pick a winner.  She will announce the lucky winner on Monday, May 19th.

"You're The Man!" CTVS Blog Hop

I'm so glad you could join us for the second day of the Cardz TV Stamps "You're the Man" Blog Hop!  If you came here from Elaine's blog, you're headed in the right direction.  For our Hop we've been using the new set called "You're the Man"  This set is great for Father's Day or masculine birthdays.
                                           
My dad makes awesome steaks on the grill.  He adds just the right seasonings and has it timed perfect for the way I like my steaks.  I can just taste them now!  Delish!  When I was little he had a mustache.  I first made the card without the mustache, then my daughter told me he needed a mustache.  So I took a picture with and without one.  My card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  The striped paper is from American Crafts and was cut at 4 x 5 1/4.  I used the Stampin' Up! ticket punch on the corners.  The bear and the chef's hat is from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge and was cut at 3 inches.  The apron and grill are from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge.  The apron and the grill were cut at 3 1/2 inches.  I had to cut the apron down just a little bit.  The spatula can be found in the From My Kitchen cartridge and was cut at 1 1/2 inches.  I used two Stampin' Up! tag punches for the sentiment.  For the flames inside the grill, I used my Fiskars grass punch using orange cardstock and sponged them with red Memento ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and enjoy the Hop!  I'd love to hear from you.  Next up on the line up is my wonderful friend Jo.  Don't forget Mary is giving away 2 sets of Cardz TV Stamps to one lucky winner!  Just leave her a comment to be entered.  She will be using random.org to choose the winner.  She will announce the winner on Monday. (MY B-Day!!!!) Below is the line-up for day two of the Hop in case you lose your way because you don't want to miss a single project!

Here's my creation.  It's a double gate fold card.  The all of the cuts are from the Create a Critter cartridge.  The barn was cut at 2 1/4 inches, the cows were cut at 1 3/4 inches.  I used the Flip function on one of them.  The balloons were cut at 1 3/4 inches.  I bought the party hats and presents from Michaels.  The grass was cut using a Fiskars border punch.  The sentiment mats were punched using  McGill and  EK Success punches.  The pink and white twine came from my good friend Julie, the red and white twine and white twine is from Recollections.
