CTV DT Challenge #29 "There's no other like my Mother"

Happy Friday my crafty friends!  Today starts a new Challenge over at Cardz TV.  Mary gave our Design Team a challenge to create a card, layout or other craft project for Mother's Day.  I used the "Mother's Day" Cardz TV Stamps set.

                                                            
My mom is my best friend.  She is always caring, always giving, and I love her to the moon and back.  Now to the card.  I used Graphic 45 patterned paper for my card.  The green patterned sentiment mat paper was cut using the Big Scalloped Spellbinder set.  The bottom was punched with the Stampin' Up! scallop border punch.   For the corners I used my favorite EK Success corner punch.  The green leaves were punched using a punch from my stash.  On the inside panels I used the Modern Wallpaper Cuttlebug folder.

Now it's your turn!  Just create a card, layout or other craft project for Mother's Day.  Then head on over to Mary's Blog and enter your project.  You have until noon EST May 16th.  Mary is giving away a set of her fabulous stamps!  I can't wait to see what you create.

Welcome to day two of the Cardz TV Design Team Challenge #7 "Let's Get Sketchy!"  For this card I used the Cardz TV Stamp set Think Spring.  The base of this card is 5 x 7.  The patterned paper mats are from a Colorbok paper pad.  For the ivory cardstock on the left, I ran the piece through the Cuttlebug using the Textile folder.  The flowers with pearls and the three little pearls are from Recollections.  The sheer ribbon is from Michaels as well.  The pink colors are really make me wish spring was here already.  As I am making this post, the wind is really whipping around outside and it's supposed to snow today.   Uggggh.  For the last couple of days the temperatures have been 60-65 degrees and it's supposed to be only in the 40's today.

I hope you take our Challenge and create a card for any occasion using the above sketch.  You can use any colors you like, and substitute the flowers and ribbon with any embellishment you like.  You can also turn the sketch to go any direction.  Mary over at Cardz TV is giving away a set of her awesome stamps.  All you have to do is post your name and a link to your card in Mr. Linky by midnight EST Sunday March 18th.  She will be using random.org to pick a winner.  Easy peasy!  I hope you join the challenge!  Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to visit my Design Team Sister's inspiring projects.  I hope to hear from you!  Have an awesome weekend!

Welcome to the Cardz TV Design Team Challenge #5 "Tickled Pink"!  Mary over at Cardz TV gave us a Challenge.  When I found out what the challenge was, I was "tickled pink"!  Who doesn't love pink?  For this card I used two stamp sets from Cardz TV Stamps.  The "You Make My Heart Sing" is from the Hugs and Kisses stamp set, and the "Happy Valentine's Day" stamp is from the Be My Valentine stamp set.  I just love the font used for the "Happy Valentine's Day" stamp.  Please stop by and take a look at them, they are wonderful!
       

This card is a Double Z Fold Card.  The pink paper used for the card is Bazzill cardstock.  The patterned paper came from a K & Company paper pad.  The bird was cut from the Create A Critter cartridge.  I cut the bird and all it's layers at 1 3/4.  This can be found on page 65.  The heart also came from the Create A Critter cartridge and was cut at 3 3/4 inches.  It can be found on page 64.  I ran it through the Cuttlebug using the Textile folder.  On the two inner panels, I used the Allegro Cuttlebug folder.  For the music notes on the front, I used mini Studio G punches.  For the corners on the inner panel, I used an EK Success punch.
