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,

Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge 15 "Bling It Up!" Day Two

Welcome back to day 2 of the Cardz TV Design Team Challenge #15 "Bling It Up!"  I hope you've had a chance to check out the other talented ladies on the Design Team.  For my second project, my Mom had asked me to make a card for a co-worker who sadly has breast cancer.  Next month she is going to have a Mastectomy, possibly double.  I pray she doesn't have to.
                                                                               
This card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  For the sentiment, I used the Cardz TV Stamps "Encouraging Thoughts."  The pink ribbon bling came from Michaels.  They had a small section with breast cancer awareness items.  The other bling came from Recollections.  The patterned paper is from a Recollections stack.  The corner punch is from EK Success, and for the border I used a Stampin' Up! border punch.  For the ivory sentiment tag, I used a McGill punch, and for the black tag I used a EK Success punch.

I hope you've had a chance to start a card, layout or other craft project to enter the Challenge!  Remember, you have until Midnight Thursday, September 27th to enter a picture and a link to your blog.  Mary is giving away a set of Cardz TV Stamps to the winner!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I really hope to hear from you!  Have an awesome weekend!

"Brew Ha Ha" Cardz TV Stamps Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Cardz TV Stamps "Brew Ha Ha" Blog Hop!  If you came here from Rachelle's Blog you are headed in the right direction.   I'm so excited for this Hop because Mary over at Cardz TV decided to do a coffee and tea stamp set and let our design team brainstorm ideas for the set.  We had so much fun doing this!  I just love this set!  Mary asked us to make a card, craft, or layout using this special edition set.  I was all over it!  I've had the card I made in mind ever since we finalized the set.
                                            
This card is a 6 x 6 card and I used Bazzill cardstock.  The patterned paper came from a 6 x 6 mat stack I found at Bennion Crafts and is from Bo Bunny.  The little teacups and creamer came from Bo Bunny as well and are on foam tape.  For the tray, I used an oval from Spellbinders.  I used to circle punches to make the handles.  I ran the ivory cardstock through the Cuttlebug using the Kassie's Brocade folder, then used Memento ink on top.    For the corners, I used an EK Success corner punch I found at Bennion Crafts.  It punches out the two pieces.  I used some pearls from Recollections on top.  For the sentiment, I used punches from EK Success and McGill.
