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,

Cardz TV Go-to Galz TV Challenge #35 "Celebrate the Harvest"

Hello my friends!  Happy Friday!  Today starts another challenge for our Go-to Galz Design Team.  The challenge is to create a card, layout, or other craft project that celebrates the summer's harvest.  I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Fall Fun."
                                                
The patterned paper is from a 6 x 6 mat stack from DCWV.  I used oval punches for the pumpkins.  I used the bird builder punch from Stampin' Up! for the stem on the pumpkins.  I punched leaves with punches that I've had for a long time.  The flourish punch is from EK Success.

Now I hope you take the challenge with us!  All you have to do is create a card, layout, or other craft project that celebrates the summer's harvest.  Once you've completed it head on over to Mary's blog and enter your project.  You have until noon EST September 19th to enter.  Mary will be giving away a set of her Cardz TV Stamps to the lucky winner.  I can't wait to see what you create!

Harvest Blessings

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope your Monday is going well.  I recently purchased a Tim Holtz embossing folder and had to try it out.  I used Core'dinations paper and sanded it.  I used the Cardz TV Stamps  set "Thankful For You." 

                            
For the pumpkins, I used a small oval punch.  The paper I used came from a Bo Bunny 6 x 6 stack.  For the stem of the pumpkins I used an EK Success flourish punch.  The leaves were punched with an old punch. 

As a reminder, don't forget the "I'm SoThankful" Cardz TV Stamps Challenge #18 is still going on.  You have until noon EST on Thursday.  Mary will be giving away a set of her awesome stamps to the winner!

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

Lots of Hugs,

"I'm So Thankful" Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge #18

Hello my crafty friends, and happy Friday!  Welcome to the "I'm So Thankful"  Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge #18!  Mary over at Cardz TV gave our Design Team a Challenge.  We were to create a card, layout, or other project for Thanksgiving.
                                      
For my card I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Thankful For You."   This set has a lot of wonderful Fall and Thanksgiving sentiments.  The card base is 6 x 6.  The patterned paper is from a DCWV fall stack and was cut at 5 3/4 x 5 3/4.  I cut the cute little Indian bear and squirrel from the new Create A Critter 2 cartridge.  Love this cartridge!  They were cut out at 3 1/2 inches and for all of their layers.  The little acorn came from my stash so I'm not quite sure which cartridge.  I usually put the extras in snack bags and label them which cartridge they came from and what size they were cut out at, but shame on me, I didn't do it on that one.  Sorry.  I used a Fiskars grass edge punch for the grass, and a leaf punch that I've had for at least 11 years.

So now it's your turn!  All you have to do is make a card, layout, or other craft project for Thanksgiving.  Once you've completed it, head on over to cardztv.blogspot.com and enter a link to your project into Mr. Linky.  You have until noon EST November 8th.  I hope you stop by the rest of the team's blogs for more awesome inspiration.

I'm so thankful you stopped by today!  I hope to hear from you because I love all of your wonderful comments.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  I will be posting again soon so I hope you come back.

Lots of Hugs,

Cardz TV Stamps Fall-o-ween Challenge

Hello my crafty friends!  Welcome to the Cardz TV "Fall-o-ween" Challenge!  Mary gave us a challenge to create a card, layout or other project for Fall or Halloween.  I just love Fall, especially here in Utah with the mountains so close.  When I look out our kitchen window you can see the beautiful orange, yellow and red leaves.
                                    
This card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I used brown Bazzill cardstock.  The patterned mat is from DCWV.  For my sentiment, I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Fall Fun."  This is a cute little set.   I used an EK Success for the brown sentiment mat, and a McGill punch for the cream colored sentiment mat.  The adorable little Teddy Bear came from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge.  I just really love this cartridge!  He was cut at 3 1/4 inches as well as his clothes.  The denim patterned paper, the blue checkered paper, and the burlap paper came from Joann's.  I used a leaf punch that I've had for many years for the leaves.  I really like how this turned out.  What do you think?

Now it's your turn!  Just create a Fall or Halloween card, layout or other craft project.  Once you've completed it, head on over to Mary's blog  and enter a picture of your project and a link to your blog into Mr. Linky.   You have until Thursday, October 25 to enter.  Mary will be announcing the winner on Friday, October 26th.  The winner will receive a set of Cardz TV Stamps!  Easy peasy right?  I hope you join our fun Challenge!  I can't wait to see what you all create!

Thanks so much 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 will be posting another fun project on Saturday, so I hope you stop back to check it out.  I have some really fun treats that I've been working on lined up as well.  I also invite you to check out the other ladies blog's on our Design Team.  We've all had a blast with this Challenge.

Lots of Hugs,
