CTV Challenge #8: April 20, 21, 22 - Day 2

CTV Challenge #8: April 20, 21, 22

"Color Me a Rainbow" Create a card or craft project for any ocassion using colors from the rainbow...pink, blue, green & yellow ONLY...you can also add small amounts of black & white.

For today's card I decided to make a Stair Step card. Now I have to say this is my favorite card that I have made this year. It was so easy and fun. I am making 6 more for a friend's benefit for church. I can't wait to finish them this weekend. 

Onto my card: 

You will need a piece of cardstock cut at 5 inches by 10 1/2 inches. Then you will score this piece of cardstock at 1.25, 2.5, 4.25, 6, 8.25

You will also need papers cut at 4.75 x1, 4.75 x 1/5 4.75x2.

To make this card I watched a great video from the Cricutologist on You Tube. The link to the video is http://youtu.be/tdo3yubm624

I used Cricut Craft Room to design these papers as it was very hard to use my paper trimmer to cut at 1 inch.

Now onto the cartridges I used:

For the background paper I used the 

Cricut Imagine Best Friends Cartridge and printed the beautiful floral paper. I LOVE this paper.

Then I used a few more cartridges.

Create a Critter - Tulips cut at 2.25 and Rainbow cut at 3 inches

Princess Party Event Cartridge - Frog cut at 3 inches

Close to My Heart Art Philosophy - Sentiment - cut at 1.39 in baby blue cardstock and again in light yellow at 1.25 inches

My sentiment is from CardzTV Stamps "Think Spring" stamp set and stamped in Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut Stain. I like this ink because it stamps clean and clear. I tried to use the chalk ink from VersaMagic but it smeared and I didn't like the look.

Please check out the rest of the Design Team's cards at CardzTV and check back tomorrow for another card for the challenge.

Also take the challenge make a rainbow card and load it to the Mr. Linky on CardzTV. Mary will pick a winner via Random.org and they will win a set of CardzTV Stamps.

Welcome back for Day 10 of our 12 Days of Christmas hop.

This is my son Declan's Gingerbread man. I used Winter frolic to cut this cute little Gingerbread guy. He is cut at 5 inches on the shadow feature. I used my Peachy Keen stamps in Winter White to stamp his cute face. Then I colored his face in with Gel pens - Glitter red and Gold. I accented him with some faux stitching and gave him buttons. He is going on our tree to watch over the kitten as they keep climbing higher.
I promise tomorrow more nativity but today was a crazy day in our house and I just couldn't get Mary finished in time. So Two pieces tomorrow. Stay tuned. I hope your Christmas preparations are going well. I am almost done. :) Just gift wrapping and clothes shopping to go. Oh and the kids want to see Santa. Always a fun time. 

Now for blog candy - It's ongoing for the month of December. I will take all comments for December and enter them into random.org and choose a winner at the end of the month. 


That's all til tomorrow now hop on over to Inga's blog to see what wonderful Christmas creations she has for you!! 






Merry Christmas and see you tomorrow for Day 11!!
