Cardz TV Anything Goes DT Challenge

Hello my crafty friends!  It's Friday and time for another Cardz TV Anything Goes DT Challenge.  Time is just rolling along so fast and I have a ton of Valentine's Day projects to complete.  And this is one of them.  I have orders for a ton of Valentine's Day treat holders.  One down.  Lol.  Before I know it, I will be working on Easter ones.

For my project I used the Cardz TV Stamps sets "Be My Valentine," "Sugar Rush," and "Let's Party."  Great sayings on all three of these sets.  Papers are from Stampin' Up! as well as the heart punch.  And let's not forget the yummy Raffaello treats inside.

Are you ready to take the challenge?  Simply create anything!  It could be a treat holder, a card or even a scrapbook page layout.  It could be anything.  Then add your project on Mary's Blog.  You have until noon EST Thursday February 16.  I can't wait to see what you create!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I would really love to hear from you!

Cardz TV Anything Goes DT Challenge

We're baaaaack!  It's Friday and time for another Cardz TV Anything Goes Design Team Challenge!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and 2017 has started out great for you all!  It just seems like yesterday we were playing with Christmas papers.  Now it's time to focus on Valentine's Day.  Lots of reds and pinks.

I'm not even sure what to call this box.  A friend of mine had found the dimensions for this box on Pinterest.  She asked me to help her because the dimensions for the boxes didn't quite work, so I made an adjustment.  So here is my version.  The sentiment on the front "You make life so SWEET!" is from the Cardz TV Stamps  set "Sugar Rush."  This set has so many yummy sentiments that are perfect for cards and treat holders.  The "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment is from the "Be My Valentine" set.  The papers are from Stampin' Up!, and I used framelits and punches from Stampin' Up!.  And let's not forget about the yummy treats inside!

Ready to take the challenge?  Just create ANYTHING.  Don't forget to add your project to Mary's blog.  You have until noon Thursday, February 2, 2017.  She's giving away a set of her fabulous stamps sets.   I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I would really love to hear from you!  Have a great weekend!

Cardz TV Challenge #2 3D Valentine Treat Box or Bag

Hello my crafty friends!  Happy Friday and welcome to the Cardz TV 3D DT challenge.  Our challenge was to create a 3D Valentine treat box or bag.  I made these for Christmas for some nurses where my dad was receiving chemotherapy.  A friend had requested some of these for Valentine's Day.

                                                              
I played around with the dimensions and came up with this box to hold Oreos.  I used the "Hugs and Kisses Cardz TV Stamps.  The red Oreos are the winter ones, and the pinkish ones are berry flavored. The cookie and candy paper is from Doodlebug, and the chevron paper is from the Stampin' Up Stacked with Love paper stack.  I used the Stampin' Up  Heart framelit set to make the window in the center, the mini heart punch from the Itty Bitty Punch pack set from Stampin' Up, and the Bow Builder punch from Stampin' Up for the bow.

Now it's your turn!  Just create a treat box or bag for Valentine's Day.  You have until February 19th to enter our challenge.  I can't wait to see what you create!

On a personal note, I haven't been posting on my blog for quite some time.  My dad passed away last month and life just got turned upside down for a while.  So much to do.  I'm sorry I haven't commented on some of your blogs for quite a while.  I hope to get back into some sort of routine soon.  Please be patient with me.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I would really love to hear from you!  Have a great weekend!

Lots of Hugs,

Class Treats

Happy Valentine's Day my crafty friends!  I wanted to share my daughter's treats she took to school this morning.  I helped her take in her things for the party they are having to day, and the first words out of her teacher's mouth were "I can't wait to see what you've made this time!"  The teacher and her friends always look forward to our treat holders.  Lol.  There are 16 girls in her class, and only 6 boys.

For the flowers and leaves I used the Blossom punch from Stampin' Up.  I stamped the "Happy Valentine's Day" using the Cardz TV Stamps set "Going In Circles."  I love this set!  It has all of the different holidays.  For the "Be Mine" I used "Hugs and Kisses."  I punched the circle sentiment out with a 1 1/8 circle punch.  I used the small heart punch from Stampin' Up for the center of the flower.

For the boys treats, I used the new Scallop Tag punch from Stampin' Up.  I really love that punch.  If you missed my tutorial on a treat holder I created, here is the LINK.  For the hearts I used the small heart punch from Stampin' Up, and the larger heart is from an EK Success punch.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope your day is filled with love.   I hope to hear from you.

Lots of Hugs,
