Cardztv Stamps Design Team Challenge

Posted on July 26, 2012 by Ginger

Happy Friday! I’m so excited to share my project for the Cardztv Design Team Challenge. The challenge is “Anything Goes.” Create a project using any colors and stamps you would like.

My card base measures 5 x 6-1/2 inches. The design paper that I used for my card is from the Graphic 45 Little Darlings Collection.

I used the Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge to cut out the scalloped oval and the butterflies. I added some white roses from Primaand used my Martha Stewart Rose Leaf punch for the leaves. I put some light blue bling in the corners to give the card some sparkle and added some Rock Candy Stickles to the roses.

I inked all of my edges with Pumice Stone Distress Ink from Tim Holtz, and added a piece of blue grossgrain ribbon that I had in my stash across the center of the card.

For my sentiment I used the Cardztv Stamp Set “All About You”. This stamp set is really versatile and has some great sentiments on it. I love all of the diffferent fonts that Mary used in this set.

The scalloped oval and the butterfly were all adhered with some foam tape to give the card some dimension.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will join the challenge over at Cardztv.

Lady Bug Hugs Card

Lady Bug Hugs Card

Happy Wednesday! I have a cute ladybug card to share with you today. The card is a standard A2 size card which measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inches. My card base is white and I added a purple mat that measure 4 x 5-1/4 inches then a piece of patterned paper that measures 3-3/4 x 5 inches. The patterned paper is from Bella Blvd Baby Girl Collection.

I cut out the darling ladybug from the Create-A-Critter Cricut cartridge. I cut her out at 3 inches and then used Elegant Edges to cut out a backgroud label.

My sentiment, Ladybug Hugs, is from the CardzTv Stamp set called “Goin’ Buggy”. This stamp set is so adorable.

I finished off the card by adding some pink twine from The Twinery and a wood button from American Crafts.

I think my card turned out pretty cute. Thanks for looking. Have a great week!

Summer Fresh Card

Summer Fresh Card

Hello everyone. Today I have a summer card to share with you. I created this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Card Challenge. The challenge was to create a project with a yellow sun on it. Here’s my card.

I used the Just Because Cricut cartridge for my sun. Since the sun was a layer for a card cut, I needed to make it large enough for my project. My card measures 5×6-1/2 inches so I cut the sun at 7 inches. Silly I know, but since it needed to be sized relative to the actual card, 7 inches worked the best.

My design paper is from the Simple Stories Summer Fresh 6×6 paper pad. This paper screams summer!

Thanks for looking! Have a great week.

Christmas in July CardzTV Challenge

Christmas in July CardzTV Challenge

Hey everyone! Hope you are having a great weekend. Mary over at CardzTV is doing a Christmas in July Challenge. The challenge is to use an animal on a card, however, it had to be a Christmas card. This is what I came up with.

I used the Cricut Winter Frolic cartridge to cut out my mouse. I cut the mouse and all of his layers at 4 inches. My card is an A6 card and measures 5 x 6-1/2 inches. The design paper I used was from Cosmo Cricket’s Dear Mr. Clause 6×6 paper pad.

This paper has a cute retro feel so I thought it worked well with the mouse. For my sentiment I used one of the little tags from the paper line that simply says Merry Christmas.

Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend!
