Luck of The Irish

With St Patty's day coming up quickly; CardzTV has a new challenge for you. This challenge we would like to see your shamrocks/clovers! I used the Hello Kitty Cricut cartridge to create my card:

My sentiment is from CardzTV stamp set; "It's All About You". I love this stamp set! I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for my "shamrock balloon". The original die cut shows Hello Kitty holding a bunch of balloons which I switched to the shamrock instead. The shamrock is from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge. The smaller shamrocks were cut with the same cartridge.
So...go on over to Cardz TV and check out all of the great cards the design team have created for you. Try your hand and enter our challenge and you could be the next proud winner of a stamp set from Cardz TV.

"Ribbon Me This..."

Did you like my title of this post? LOL I was thinking of when I was younger and used to watch Batman all the time. The Riddler always said; "Riddle me this" when he talked to Batman. Thus my title!
This time the new challenge at Cardz TV is to use ribbon on your card. I've created two different cards for the challenge. My first card was done using an old file folder as my card base and my tag. I also embossed with my Cuttlebug then used some Smooch ink to paint over the raised embossing. I used an old stamp set from Stampin' Up for my flower. The ribbon is from Michael's and the sentiment stamps are from Cardz TV. THe addition of some rhinestone stick-ons (from the $1 spot at Michael's) and my card was complete! Here is a look at it:

My second card was done using my Cricut die cut machine and "Mickey & Friends" cartridge. I used paper that I bought from my local stamp store when they had their garage sale this last Fall. The ribbon on the bottom of my card is from Stampin' Up. The photo strip is also cut from the "Mickey & Friends" cartridge. My sentiment is from the "Happy Days" stamp set from Cardz TV .Here is my second card which I created for one of my students at school. I hope he likes it. (Mickey is his favorite).
