Another challenge from CardzTV

Hello everyone! How quickly the weeks are going by this summer! I wish they would slow down...
it has been 2 weeks since our last Mailbox Smiles challenge at CardzTV so once again we have a new challenge for you all.
It is an "Anything Goes" challenge. Here is what I have created:

I used painters tape (the blue tape) to make the different colors on my card bases. By taking the tape and rubbing it on an ink pad then using the same tape and rubbing it on my card base I got the different colors of the "linen looking" strips! I then stamped over them using black Memento ink.
I love how this looks! Here is another look:

I used the "Simple Thoughts" stamp set from Cardz TV for my sentiment.
Check out all of the great creations and then enter in the challenge.
Have a great weekend everyone!

ANYTHING GOES @ CARDZ TV !

Hi everyone .... I hope you all have been enjoying your Spring weather. I think here in Buffalo we went from Winter right to Summer! I will not complain though and can only hope that the summer season lasts as long as our winter season seems to! Haha!
For our challenge this time (anything Goes) at Cardz TV I have created a birthday card using my Life is a Beach cartridge and my Cricut Explore die cutting machine.

Here is my card...

The sentiment is from the CardzTV sentiment set called, "More Critter Captions". Such a great stamp set! Here is the inside of my card...

I used a stamp from "Make a Wish" and a stamp from "Good Times" to do the sentiment here on the inside.

Hello everyone!
I wanted to share with you the new challenge at Cardz TV. This time our sketch challenge is to use one of Kit & Kaboodles sketches and use the theme of Mother's Day for your card.
I have used sketch # 3

and the "Love Ya' " stamp set from Cardz TV for my card. My Cricut Explore was used to create the sweet flowering plant which I used pop up foam tape with to give it dimension on the card front. My sentiment was stumped using Momento black ink and I used my distress ink to age the flower pot.My designed paper is from a $1 spot paper pad at Michael's...
Here is my card:

and one more picture of my card...

I used the sentiment from the Love Ya set as I did/t want to say anything about a mother as both mine and hubby's Mom's are passed....I figured this card could be sent to anyone I am missing and love <3 Have a great weekend and go check out all the fun at Cardz TV with the cards my design team sisters have created!

Then I decided to create a second card using the following:
