Cardz TV 3D DT Challenge #6 Christmas Tag

Hello my friends!  I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I had a hard time yesterday because this was the first Thanksgiving without my dad.  Lots of tears.  Anyway, today starts a new Cardz TV Stamps challenge.

Our challenge is to create a tag.  The "Warm Winter Wishes" sentiment is from the "Tiny Tidings" stamp set.  This set has fabulous set.  I just love the sentiments.  The little coffee mug with the reindeer was cut using a Cottage Cutz set.  It even cuts the little marshmallows.  And I just love reindeer.

Now it's your turn.  Just create a 3D tag and enter it on Mary's Blog.  You have until noon EST December 10th.   I can't wait to see what you create!  

Thanks so much for stopping by and I would really love to hear from you!  I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!  It's definitely time to start making those Christmas cards, tags, and treat holders!

Cardz TV 3D DT Challenge "3D Thanksgiving Card"

Hello my crafty friends!  It's Friday, and today starts another challenge over at Cardz TV.  Our challenge is to create a 3D card for Thanksgiving.  With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I need to make more Thanksgiving cards!  One down, several to go.  Lol.

For my sentiments I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Thankful For You."  This set has a fun variety of stamps for Thanksgiving.  The papers are from a 6 x 6 Doodlebug stack.  The teddy bear/turkey is from the Teddy Bear Parade.  The bear and it's layers were cut at 3 1/4 inches.  For the sign, I used the Handpicked Framelits from Stampin' Up.  I punched the leaves using an old punch from my ever growing stash.

Now it's your turn to join our challenge! Simply create a 3D Thanksgiving card.  Place it on Mary's Blog.  You have until noon EST Thursday November 26th (Thanksgiving) to enter.  Mary will be giving away a set of her awesome stamps to the winner!

I know this Thanksgiving will be really hard for me since it's the first one without my dad with us.     (He passed away in January.)  I will miss him saying Grace.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I would really love to hear from you!  I hope you have a safe and wonderful weekend!

Cardz TV 3D DT Challenge #4 Pumpkin Project

Hello my crafty friends!  It's Friday, so that means a new Cardz TV Challenge.  Our challenge was to create a 3D project using pumpkins.  I decided to make a box for Tic Tacs.

I used the Cardz TV Stamps "Let's Face It" for the faces.  This is a fun set with cute little faces.  The sentiment comes from the "Fall Fun" set.  I cut out ovals for the Tic Tac box.  I used chenille stems for the pumpkin stems.  For the little pumpkins, I used a 3/4 x 4 inch piece of cardstock.  I scored them (with the long edge at the top of my score board) at 1, 2, 3.  I added sticky strip to one end, added the Hershey Kiss, and fold over the flap with the sticky strip.  For the pumpkins I used a small oval punch.

Okay, now it's your turn!  Just make a 3D project using pumpkins.  Add it to Mary's Blog.  You have until noon EST on Thursday November 12.  Mary will be giving away a set of her wonderful stamps to the winner.  I can't wait to see what you create!

I hope you have a fabulous weekend and have a safe and Happy Halloween!  I look forward to setting our clocks back an hour.  Thanks for stopping by, and I would really love to hear from you!

3D Cardz TV Challenge # 3 Halloween Treat Holder

Hello my crafty friends!  It's Friday and time for another Cardz TV 3D DT Challenge!  Our challenge is to create a candy wrapper or Halloween treat holder.  Anyone who knows me at all knows I LOVE to make treat holders.  Lol.
 
For my treat holders I used the "Frankly Frightful" and "Trick or Treat" sets.  These are awesome sets for treat holders and cards!  The papers are from Doodlebug and Stampin' Up!  The lamp post is a Doodlebug sticker.  And let's not forget the yummy treats!  My daughter loves the bottle pops so I decided to make a treat holder that would hold them.

Ok, now it's your turn!  Just create a candy wrapper or treat holder for Halloween.  Then add it to Mary'sBlog.  You have until noon EST October 28th, 2015.  I hope you take the challenge and I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope to hear from you.  Have a crafty weekend!

Cardz TV 3D Challenge #2 "Fall Home Decor"

Hello my crafty friends!  It's Friday, and today starts a new challenge for our Cardz TV 3D DT.  The challenge is to create a 3D home decor project for fall.

For my project I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Fall Fun."  This is a great set with lots of fun sentiments for fall.  And the pumpkin is cute!  I was recently in a local craft store and saw these glass candy dishes.  I remembered seeing candy corns that weren't the usual orange, yellow and white.  These are Macchiato and Caramel flavored.  They smell amazing!  I added a candle that is twice the size of a tealight to the center.  It really looks pretty at night.

Now it's your turn!  The challenge is to create a 3D home decor project for fall.  Then add it to Mary's Blog.  You have until noon EST Thursday October 15th.  I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I would really love to hear from you!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Lots of Hugs,

Cardz TV 3D Challenge #1 Fall Card

Hello my crafty friends!  I'm happy to say we have started another term on the Cardz TV 3-D Design Team!   I'm so glad to be back!  Our challenge was to create a 3-D card for Fall.  Around the Castle, it has definitely turned cold for a bit.  The mountains have definitely started changing colors, and we even had some snow on the tops of some mountains that are visible from my kitchen window.  By Monday we're supposed to be back to the low 80's.  

For  my card I used the Cardz TV Stamps set called "Fall Fun."  This is a fun set filled with fun sentiments that are perfect for Fall cards.  For my card base I used a Fold-a-long thinlit from Sizzix .  It comes together pretty quickly.  The paper is from a set from Stampin' Up! called Farmers Market.

Now it's your turn!    Just create a 3-D card for Fall, enter your project on Mary's Blog.  You have until Noon EST Thursday October 1, 2015.  Mary will be giving away a set of her fabulous stamps!  I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you all have a safe, crafty, and wonderful weekend!

Lots of Hugs,

Hey Cupcake!

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope you are staying cool.  Here around the Castle it's been in the100's.  I know I haven't posted in a while and I apologize.  Since my dad passed away in January I haven't been myself.  A day at a time right?  I hope to get back into my old groove.
                       
I needed some small little Thank You cards.  I had made this type of insert fold years ago but never this small.  I used the new Cardz TV Stamps set "Sweet Sayings" for the "Hey Cupcake!" and "You're so SWEET!"  This set has a lot of fun "sweet" sayings! For the "Thank you," I used the"Heartfelt Wishes" without the "so much." For the fun little cupcake, I used the "Sprinkles of Life" stamp set from Stampin' Up!.  To punch out the top of the cupcake I used the Tree Builder punch from Stampin' Up!  The papers are from Stampin' Up! as well.

Well, I hope you have a safe Fourth of July weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and I would really love to hear from you!

Lots of Hugs,
Laura
