Cardz TV 3D DT Challenge #3

Hello my crafty friends!  It's time for another Cardz TV 3D DT Challenge!  For this challenge we were to create a Home Decor project for Spring.  Here around the Castle we have been having wonderful weather with temperatures in the low 60's.  It's been wonderful!  I wish it were already springtime and the temps would stay this way.

For my project, I found this topiary at a local craft store that is about two minutes away.  I just love the colors.  For the sentiment I used the Cardz TV Stamps "Think Spring" set.  This set is a must have for Spring.  I added the little flowers, nest and the little birdie.  I used the Handpicked Framelit Dies from Stampin' Up to cut the sign.

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!

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!

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!

Hello my crafty friends!  Welcome to the Cardz TV 3D DT Blog Hop!  If you came here from Deanna's Blog, you are headed in the right direction.  This is our last challenge for this term.  My daughter just finished the 6th grade yesterday and will be heading to Junior High in the fall.  Gasp!  At the beginning of the school year I try to take a picture of her with her new teacher.  And I always make a card and a special gift for her teacher at the end of the year.

For the card, I used the Cardz TV Stamps "School Days.  I heat embossed the stamp on chalk board paper.   The papers are from Doodlebug.  I used the Stampin' Up! Berry Basket for the basket filled with Ferrero Rocher candies.  For the treat holders I used the WRMK Envelope Punch Board to make the treat holders.  She passed them out to her class yesterday.  I had to make 28.  The papers are also from Doodlebug.

Okay, now for the blog candy!
  
For my blog candy I am giving away a We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.  There are more things to make with this little tool than just envelopes.  I've made different treat holders with it.  To be entered into my drawing, please be a follower of my blog, and leave me a comment.  You have until midnight MST Sunday May 24th.  I will announce the winner on Monday, May 25th.
