Cardz TV 3D DT Challenge "Tag You're It"

Hello my crafty friends and Happy Black Friday!  I hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Today starts another challenge over at Cardz TV.  Our challenge is to create 3 tags for Christmas.  We can all use those at this time of year.

For the tree tag and Santa tag, I used Cardz TV stamp set "Tiny Tidings."  For the "from one Flake to another!, I used the "Snow Day" set.  I love these stamps!  There are so many fun ones for Christmas.  For the tree, I used the Stampin' Up! tree punch, the bows were punched with a new EK Success punch.  For the Santa tag I used an EK Success small banner punch, and the Stampin' Up! banner punch.  Santa is a sticker from Doodlebug.  The snowman is a stamp from a stamp set I found at Michaels on clearance.  I punched the top with a 3" scallop circle punch from EK Success.

Now it's your turn!  Just create 3 tags for Christmas.  You have until noon EST Thursday December 11th.  Mary will be giving away a set of her stamps to the winner.  I hope you join us, I would love to see what you create!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope to hear from you.  Have a safe and wonderful weekend!

CTVS 3D DT Challenge "Just For You"

Hello my crafty friends and happy Friday!  Today starts another challenge over at Cardz TV.  Mary gave our 3-D DT a challenge to make a Christmas gift card holder.  Can you believe Christmas is next month????  I usually make a lot of gift card holders every year.  Sometimes it's easier to give a gift card to that hard to shop for person.

For my gift card holder I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Very Merry" for the "Something for your stocking!"  The "Merry Christmas!" came from the "Tiny Tidings" set.  These sets contain many wonderful sentiments for your holiday projects.  When you open this gift card holder, the top flap pulls up the gift card.  I made it using an EK Success Envelope Punch Board.   Here's a tutorial I found.  The paper came from a 6 x 6 paper pad from Doodlebug.  I used a Fiskars punch for the stocking, a 3-inch scallop circle punch from EK Success, scallop oval punch, small oval punch, word window punch, modern label punch from Stampin' Up!

Now it's your turn to make one.  Just create a Christmas gift card holder, head on over to Cardz TV and add your project.  You have until Noon November 27th to enter.  Mary will be giving away a set of her amazing stamps to the winner.  I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by, I would really love to hear from you!  I hope you have a safe and warm wonderful weekend!  Here around the castle it has been very cold.  Brrrr

I've Got My Eyes On You

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope your weekend is going well.  If you are looking for my Cardz TV
3-D "Fun Fold" challenge CLICK HERE.  I wanted to share a little treat holder I made last week.

 I just have to tell you, I love Mary's Cardz TV Stamps!  She has some of the best sentiments.  As soon as I received the new "Frankly Frightful" Halloween set I knew what I wanted to do.  I also used the "Trick or Treat" set for the "Happy Halloween"

The papers are from Doodlebug, and the eyeballs are chocolate with peanut butter inside.  Every year my mom has me make treat holders for the people at her bank.  So I've been making different ones I hope to share with you soon.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to hear from you!  Enjoy your weekend!

For the "Flying by with a WITCHY hi!" I used the "Oct. 31st" Cardz TV Stamps set.  For the "BOOtiful!" and "YIKES" I used the "More Spooky Sayings" set. The "No tricks, Just Treats!" and "Happy OWL-oween!" came from the "Frankly Frightful" set.  These are all AWESOME sets for Halloween!  The papers, witch, cat, spider, owl, pumpkin, and little Franky are from Doodlebug.  The ghost was cut using the Fun Fall framelit set from Stampin' Up!

"Sweets for the Sweet" Cardz TV 3-D Challenge

Happy Friday my crafty friends!  "Welcome to the "Sweets for the Sweet" Cardz TV 3-D Challenge!  I'm so excited to start up our Challenges again!  Our wonderful Mary gave our DT a challenge to make a candy wrapper or candy holder for Halloween treats.  All my friends know how much I LOVE to make treat holders.

The sentiment on the fry box came from the Cardz TV Stamps set "Trick or Treat."  For the fry box, I used the Stampin' Up! fry box die.  The sentiment on the hamburger box came from the "More Spooky Sayings" stamp set.  I used the hamburger die from Stampin' Up! for the box.  The sentiment on the milk carton came from the "October 31st" set.  For the milk carton, I had found this TUTORIAL.  I had to change the lid a little bit longer to fit the box with the soda can inside.  I changed the measurements to 3 1/2 x 10 1/2.  The score marks along the 10 1/2 side are the same,
2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, and 10.  The scorelines along the 3 1/2 side are the ones I changed.  They are 3,
4 1/4.  The papers are from Doodlebug.  The little mini clothespins are from Recollections.  The spider is from my local grocery store.
     

Now it's your turn to take the challenge!  Just make a candy wrapper or a candy holder for Halloween treats.  Easy peasy!  Just head on over to Mary's Blog and add your project.  You have until noon EST Thursday October 16th to enter.  Mary will be giving away a set of her amazing stamps to the winner.

In case you've been wondering where I have been, life has been upended recently.  My dad has cancer that has gotten much much worse.  So needless to say life has been hectic.  Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by, and I would really love to hear from you!  I hope you take the challenge.  Don't forget to stop by the other ladies' blogs on the DT for more inspiration, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Have your CAKE and eat it too!

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope you are having a good Labor Day.  In August and September we have a lot of Birthdays.  I need to get on the ball and make cards for the September birthdays.  So I wanted to share a birthday card I made using a Sizzix Circle Card Flip Die.  These are really fun and super easy to assemble.  The patterned papers I used are from Doodlebug.  The "Have your CAKE and eat it too!" sentiment is from the Cardz TV Stamps set "Good Times."  I used an old balloon punch that I've had for a very long time on the inside.  Like I said, super quick and super easy.

I'm so glad you stopped by, and I would really love to hear from you!  Have a great day!

Lots of Hugs,
Laura
