Giving Thanks

This time at Cardz TV our challenge to you is to create a card for Thanksgiving. Here is the card I have created:

I used a card base from a kit that I bought at Michael's a few months ago. It came with that pretty embossed front too! I used a die cut that I created using my Cricut Explore and a cartridge "Autumn Celebrations". This cornucopia I think is so very pretty and I used soft colors for my fruit falling out of it... The sentiment "Happy Thanksgiving" is from the Cardz TV stamp set entitled, "Happy Days". This set is chock full of sentiments for lots of different "Happy days". I used yellow and green card stock from Recollections for my frame around the cornucopia and pop up dots to lay it on top of the frame.
Check out the challenge and then plan on joining us. You have 2 weeks to create and post your card. You just might be the next winner of an awesome set of stamps from Mary :)


So...This weekend is really going to be a busy one with shopping and planning our Thanksgiving celebration. I will have lots of family to help celebrate with us and I wouldn't have it any other way! I love, love, love family times !!!!

Hello Pumpkin !

This time around over at CardzTV the challenge is to use a pumpkin in or on your card. Pretty easy and this is definitely the season for pumpkins . I had a little fun with this one and made a dimensional pumpkin for my card front.I found a pumpkin shape that I liked in Design Space and cut it out 3 times. Then I fooled around trying to figure out how to fold it, etc. to give it dimension. I used an embossing folder to give it even more dimension. i love polka dots...don't you?
Here is my card...

I used 2 different stamps from two different stamp sets to complete the card. I used a really cool stitch looking stamp to the outside edges. This is from the new "Basic Borders" set. My sentiment (which is one of my favorites) is from the set called "Count Your Blessings".

Please go over to Cardz TV and see all of the great 'PUMPKIN" cards made by my fellow design team members. Then I hope you join in our challenge! Have a great weekend everyone !!!!

Did Someone Say,"Halloween Challenge" ?

Hi everyone I hope this post finds you all well and happy . Over at Cardz TV there is a new challenge for the next two weeks... We want to see your Halloween creativity! I chose to use my Cricut to cut out a few items (the sign, pumpkin and mason jar) which I then used to create my card. I used two different stamp sets from Cardz TV to complete it. I stamped the eyeballs in the jar and the face on the pumpkin using "Let's Face It" and the sentiment on the sign is from "Frankly Frightening". Both of these sets are wonderful to use for halloween !
So anywho... here is my card...

Cardz TV Card Challenge for Fall

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year ! I love how the days become a little cooler, the air becomes crisp and the foliage begins to bring on beautiful colors to celebrate the Fall ! Over at Cardz TV we are celebrating this new season with our new challenge!


I would love to share my card that I created for the Cardz TV challenge. Use Fall icons in your creation when making your card. Think, acorns, changing leaves, scarecrows, corn stalks, etc. Here is what I have created :

I used a cute SVG file from Miss Kate's Cuttables for the scarecrow. I made my own cornstalks as I couldn't find any in my Cricut cartridges... I used some glitter tape to add a few gold kernels on my ears of corn. The sentiment is from Cardz TV sentiment stamp set called, "Mixed Messages".
I would love to have you join in the fun for this challenge! Just go to Cardz TV and check out all of the wonderful cards my design team have created and then show us yours! You could be the next winner of a great stamp set :)

Cardz TV 3 Color Challenge

Hi everyone ! I wanted to share with you the card I created for the "3 Color Challenge" over at Cardz TV. You are to use 3 colors (you may also use white and/or black along with the 3 colors). Here is the card I created using a Hello Kitty image dressed as "Godzilla"

I used my Cricut Explore to cut out my images using the Design Space program. I simply adore my newest Cricut member of my family. The Explore was worth every cent that I paid for it! The sentiment is from a Cardz TV stamp set called "Mixed Messages". This is a very versatile stamp set and I find myself reaching for it time and time again.

I hope you all go on over to Cardz TV and check out all of the cards that were done by the design team for this challenge. After you check them out; I hope you join in our challenge. One happy person will win a free set of Cardz TV stamp ! Have a great day and an even greater weekend everyone!
