Mother's Day Card Challenge

Hello everyone! I hope that Spring has come to stay where you live...it sure can't make up its mind where I live! Snow three days ago and in the high 60's for Easter...I guess Spring must be a woman with the way it changes so often! Oh well...!
Today I would like to share the card that I have created for the Cardz TV card challenge. The challenge is to create a card for Mother's Day. I used the sweetest little svg file from Miss Kate Cuttables. I just adore this sweet little birdie on her tree branch full of blossoms .

My sentiment is from the "Birds and Bees" stamp set at Cardz TV. Papers are just scraps from my stash for the bird and flowers.I used Recollections paper for my blue card base and the white and yellow layers. I absolutely love using my Cricut Explore to create cards with . It is so much fun and the sentiment stamps from Cardz TV are always the perfect fit for my creations! It is like a match made in Heaven...

Butterflies, Birds & Bees

Hello everyone from sunny Florida! I am posting this while on my trip to Florida to get my son settled in his new condo after his move from our home in Amherst NY ! Hard to believe that in just one more short day my hubby and I will drive away and leave him here in Florida (insert lots of sobbing and tears here). On the bright side he has a wonderful new job for the county of Sarasota which I think he will love <3 Now on to my post... Today at Cardz TV we are challenging you to create a card using either a bird, bees or butterflies.
I created my card using the sweet Hello Kitty cartridge and found one with her dressed as a bumblebee! I made this card for one of my students in my classroom who will be turning 4 soon. I used the Cardz TV stamp entitled: "Birds & Bees".
Here is my creation:

Cardz TV Pattern Paper Challenge

Hi everyone! I can't believe that two weeks have gone by so quickly! Today our challenge at Cardz TV is for you to use 3 different pattern papers in your card! I decided to make a pocket card and used a sweet Penguin digital stamp from Oak Tree Stamps. My sentiments are of course all from Cardz TV ! Here is my card...

and here is a peek at the inside of it...

I used papers from a 6 x 6 Colorbok paper pack called "Hootenanny. My stamps are all from the same Cardz TV stamp set called, "Good Times". I love this stamp set as it is so versatile!
I have popped up my penguin with the balloon and my polka dot balloon with pop dots. I have used baker's twine for the balloon strings also. I loved using the rick-rack trim on my card too! I had such fun putting this card together. I will be giving it to my daughter today for her 39th birthday! Hard to believe that I have a child who is 39 years old(after all I am only 50! LOL).

Birthday Challenge

Here we are at the next challenge for CardzTV. This time we have a birthday challenge for you all! I used a sweet svg image to create my cupcake and then some pretty

stickles to highlight it with a sweet face from the "Let's Face It" set from CardzTV. I also added some paper hearts that I cut from a piece of designer paper I had in my stash. My sentiment is from Cardz TV "Sugar Rush" stamp set.
Here is the inside of my card using another stamp from a different CardzTV stamp set.

This time I used one of the sentiments from the "Good Times" stamp set. I found some sweet valentines stickers from the Dollar Tree store that I added as a border to the bottom inside of the card.

CardzTV Challenge Time !

I am so happy that the new year and the new challenges have started once again at CardzTV ! I sure am ready to have some fun and I bet all of you are too!
This time our first challenge is to create a card for Valentine's Day. I did a card with a different "feel" to it I think. Instead of using the normal pinks and reds that are usually associated with Valentine's Day I made my main color blue. Here is what I created:

I used 2 different stamp sets to create the front of this card. My sentiment is from a stamp set from CardzTV entitled,"It's All Good". I also stamped those cute little blue hearts using a stamp from CardzTV's "Planner Basics" set. There are so many wonderful little images from this set that even if you don't use a planner you will have lots of uses for them. Here is the stamp set:

My hot air balloon is from an svg file from Miss Kate Cuttables. I love her svg files !
Now onto the inside of my card...

I used another balloon from Miss Kate Cuttables here. Two different sentiments from CardzTV finish off the inside of my card. The "Valentine's Day" sentiment is from the "Happy Days" stamp[ set one of my favorites of my stamp sets. The other sentiment,"I'd be lost without you" is from the newest stamp set over at CardzTV entitled "Love ya". Here is a look at the stamp set:

So...go on over to CardzTV and check out all of the wonderful cards made by my team mates and then try your hand at our challenge ! Have a great day and a greater weekend as we say "goodbye" to January!

I used my Explore die cutting machine to create the happy birthday sign. My paper base is lime green with a teal blue/green on top of that. I mounted my next white card stock with the pretty fancy silver swirls on top of the first two layers. (This card stock is actually from a wedding kit...lol!). A little wash tape and my front was done!

and here is the inside of it:

For the inside I depended on my Explore once again! I cut out the "Sweet" and then used the base taking away the letters. For the "16th" I used the actual cut out numbers and letters.My image is from Whiff of Joy and is called "Henry Celebrating Mouse". I just adore him ! I used my Copic markers to color him in.I distressed the edges of the paper with Tim Holtz distressed ink. Then I put everything together to complete the inside.I hope she likes it...
A great big "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to a special young lady....(Your Mom sure does love you!!!)
