Cardz TV Go-to Galz Challenge #40 "Christmas Treat"

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  It's time for a Cardz TV Go-to Galz Challenge.  Today's challenge is to make a treat holder for Christmas giving.  I had these little gum packs in my cupboard that I was going to decorate for Halloween but had forgotten them.  So I decided to decorate them.
                                   
The sentiments are from the Cardz TV Stamps Tiny Tidings.  This set is fun!  The papers are from Doodlebug and one is from Recollections.  I used the Hexagon, small oval, large oval, and Artisan punch from Stampin' Up.  I cut a piece that was 1 15/16 x 4 3/4.   With the 4 3/4 inch side at the top of the score board, I scored it at 1 inch, 1 3/8 inch, 3, 3 3/8.  These are very low cost and make great treats for a quick gift for cashiers at stores or at the bank, and are very quick to make.

Now it's your turn!  Just make a Christmas treat holder and head on over to Mary's Blog and enter your project.  You have until noon EST on December 12 to enter.  Mary will be giving away a set of her fabulous stamp sets to the winner.  I hope you stop by the other ladies' blogs on the Design Team for more inspiration.  I will have more treat holders coming this week so check back.

Thanks for stopping by, and I would really love to hear from you.  If you are new to my blog I hope you become a follower.  I would love to have you.  Have a great weekend!

Lots of Hugs,

Cardz TV Go-to Galz Challenge #39 "Thankful"

Happy Friday my crafty friends!  It's time for a new Cardz TV Go-to Galz Challenge!  This challenge is called "Thankful."  We were to create a card for Thanksgiving.  When I think of Thanksgiving I think of getting together with family, delicious smells emanating from the kitchen.  Oh I can just smell Tom Turkey roasting in the oven, the smell of pumpkin pie.  Okay, enough, makes me want to cook a turkey now!

For my card I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Thankful for you."  I masked the "We gather together" and the Count your blessings" off and stamped each word on a Decorative Label punch from Stampin' Up.  For the "Turkey Time!" I used "Thankful for you" and the "Fall Fun" set.  "So Thankful" and Happy Thanksgiving came from the "Thankful for you" set.  The papers on the long panels as well as the green patterned paper in the middle came from a Mary Engelbreit 6 x 6 paper pack I found in the $1.50 bins at Michaels.  The basket weave paper on the pop out panels is from Doodlebug.  The house, cute little hedgie, squirrel, turkey, cornucopia, and pies are from a Doodlebug sticker sheet.  I just love them!  I colored some jewels with a brown Sharpie.

What do you think?  I hope I've inspired you to join our Challenge.  Just make a card, layout, or other craft project for Thanksgiving.  You have until noon EST Thursday November 14th.  Once you're done, head on over to Mary's blog and enter your project.  Mary is giving away a set of her stamps to the winner.  I hope you check out the other ladies' blogs for more inspiration.  You won't be disappointed!

Hello my friends!  It's Friday!  That means another Cardz TV Go-to Galz Challenge!  We were to make a card, layout or other project using ghosts and goblins.  For my project I used two Cardz TV Stamps sets.  The "Things that go bump in the night" came from the "More Spooky Sayings."  The "Happy Halloween" came from the "Trick or Treat" set.

I used my Stampin' Up owl builder punch for the ghost, witch and bat.  I used part of that punch for the bristles of the broom.  The witches hat was made using the small oval punch, and part of the Blossom Builder punch.   For the top of the tree I used a scallop punch for the the tree.  The patterned paper is from a Doodlebug 6 x 6 Halloween paper pack.  For the fence I used the Stampin' Up scallop border punch and scored it.  The spider is a Studio G punch.   For the inside I used my favorite corner punch.
