Gingerbread Men Card

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.  Here around my castle, the wind is really blowing.  I hope you've had a chance to enter the Cardz TV Stamps Challenge "To Die For!"

For today's card, I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Tiny Tidings."  This is a cute set that Mary has that has sentiments from a set she had last year but they are smaller, and there are a couple of new ones added in.  The card base came from a boxed card set I found at Bennion Crafts (a local store) that comes pre-folded.  The are made by Pebbles.  There are 10 different card bases and envelopes.  They have really cute patterns and have the envelopes included.  For the red mat, I used the EK Success punch Scalloped Scallop.  For the patterned paper I used a Recollections 6 x 6 mat stack that has some adorable papers in it. It is called Sugar Plums.   I used a 1 1/4 inch EK Success square scallop punch.  The other day I was at Joann's and found this cute Fiskars gingerbread punch.  I debated on getting it since I have several cartridges with gingerbread man cuts, but I knew if I didn't get it then it would be gone later.  I used a Peachy Keen stamp set for their faces, and some bling from my stash.

I hope you enter our Challenge!  You have until Noon EST Thursday December 6th.  Mary will be giving away a set of her stamps to the winner!  I will be posting again tomorrow so I hope you stop back to check it out.

Lots of Hugs,
Laura

Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge #14 "Happy Holidays~Pick One!"

Welcome back to day two of the Cardz TV  Design Team Challenge #14 "Happy Holidays~Pick One!"  I hope you have had a chance to start on your card, layout, or craft project for any holiday and using any colors you would like.  I have to tell you I am having a blast with this challenge.  I am also having a blast with the new Create A Critter 2 cartridge!  I have been cutting like crazy!

My card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.   For my card I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Spooky Sayings."  I love this set!  The cute little bear came from the Create A Critter 2 cartridge.  I cut it out at 3 1/2 inches.  The patterned paper came from a new
K & Company 12 x 12 paper stack and was cut at 4 x 5 1/4.  For the little bones I used a Fiskars hand punch.  For the mat behind the bear, I used a Sizzix folder.

I hope you take the Challenge along with us.  This is really a fun one!  You have until Midnight E.S.T. Thursday, September 13th to enter your project into Mr. Linky on Mary's blog.  She will use random.org to pick a winner.  She will announce the winner on Friday, September 14th.   She will be giving away a set of Cardz TV stamps!

I hope you all have a great weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and I would REALLY love to hear from you!  And if you are new to my blog, I would LOVE to have you as a follower!

Lots of Hugs,
