CardzTV Design Team Anything Goes Challenge #5 - Bunny Hop

Hi everyone and welcome back for another CardzTV Design Team Challenge.Today is Challenge #5. 
In case you haven't joined us for challenge before, you can create anything you'd like...card, home decor, gift tags, bags, boxes, scrapbook layout, mini album, etc...Anything Goes!

Link up your project at CardzTV for a chance to win a set of stamps. 

I love stair step cards. They are some of the most fun cards to make.
So for this card, I made a stair step card. Then I added cute files from

Cricut Design Space. 

The Chocolate bunny for this card is from Create a Critter 2

The eggs (aren't they gorgeous) are from Easter 2010 cartridge
The basket is from Create a Critter 2
The grass is from Ribbons and Rosettes
My sentiment is from CardzTV Stamps Toadally Awesome.

I used the sentiment Hop to it. You could also use Hop, Hop, Hooray!! 
Now I'll admit when you first look at this set you see frogs. But Bunnies hop, too.
My daughter actually handed it to me. I told her I wasn't making a frog card and then it hit me. It's another reminder to look closely at your stamp sets and just because it says one thing - doesn't mean you cannot use it for another.
Think out of the box!!

I hope you enjoyed this fun card!!  Be sure to check out what my design team sisters have created for you. Then link up your project at CardzTV. 

Have a Terrific Friday!!

Blessings,

My sentiment on the outside of the card is from CardzTV Stamps Very Merry Stamp set

12 Days of Christmas Card #1 - Gingerbread Christmas

I cannot believe that December is already here. Today I had some time to craft which has been really rare lately. But my husband so nicely set  me up a beautiful new crafting space. It's small because our house doesn't have a lot of room but it felt so good to have my machine on a table.
So today's card to start the 12 Days of Christmas is a Gingerbread Christmas card.
This card was inspired by Mary from CardzTV Stamps stamp set Gingerbread Christmas.
I love this adorable set because it has such a wonderful gingerbread man, and several sentiments.

The papers are from my Christmas stash.  I love the holly paper and candy canes. The gingerbread man's buttons and face are embellished with candy buttons. I love how they make this card stand out.
I hope you enjoyed this fun and easy Christmas card!! I can't wait to make many more!! 

Happy December!!

CardzTV Design Team Challenge #3 - Fold Challenge

Hi everyone, 
Welcome back for another fun CardzTV Stamps Design Team Challenge. This week Mary challenged us to have fun and make a card with a unique fold. 
Unique fold cards are fun because it you can make a Tri-fold card, S Fold, Z Fold, Easel, Box or Step card. The possibilities are endless. 
Okay let's get to today's project. For my card I made a box card from SVG Cuts. The base is from their Autumn Cards line. I love their box cards but I only used the box on this design and not the pieces. For the pieces I went to the Cricut Design Studio and found a cute Turtle Witch, Fence, Haunted House (I love this one) and a Ghost. 
The Turtle Witch is from Create a Critter 2, the Ghost is from Creepy Critters, Halloween House is from Creepy Critters, and the scallop is just from Baby Steps. 
My sentiments are from CardzTV Stamps Trick or Treat stamp set which I used the Trick or Treat...Smell my feet! 

and then from CardzTV Stamps Let's Face It! Stamps set I used one of the adorable faces. 

 Here is my finished project......I love how it turned out. 

I hope you have enjoyed this fun project and that you will head over to CardzTV and check out what my Design Team Sisters have created for you.

Hello my Crafting Friends!!
Fall started this week!! It is one of my favorite seasons as I love the crisp autumn air, falling leaves, and pumpkin spice lattes. I also love hot apple cider, sipping hot cocoa by the fire, and enjoying cooler temperatures.
Sadly where I live, I don't get the seasons as much. Instead I love to watch the photos friends post on Facebook of the changing colors.

For this challenge, Mary challenged us to make a card with Fall Icons - these can be leaves, acorns, scarecrow, corn, etc. 

So for my card I created a Fall Tree Card. 

I loved it so much I made 2. 

To make this card:

A2 Size Card - 

Fall Tree - 3.53 inches

Green Polka Dot paper - 2.96 width x 3.78 height

Black - 4 inches height

Autumn Tree- Create a Critter 2 - 3.53 height 

Sentiment - CardzTV Stamps Thankful for You

This is my second card. It is a simple easel card. I love this happy tree!! 

I hope you will stop by CardzTV and check out what my Design Team Sisters have created for you!! 

We can't wait to see your creations!!

CardzTV Stamps Card Challenge #1 -Use Three Colors

Hello my Crafting Friends!!
Are you ready for another CardzTV Cardz Team Design Challenge? I am honored to be returning to Mary's team as a designer for another term. You will love her new stamp sets. They are so inspiring and will add so much to your projects!! I love her new faces set and borders. Both sets are a must have for any crafter!!

For this challenge, Mary challenged us to make a card with 3 colors - Black and White don't count. 

So I decided to make a cute spider card for our Behavior Coach to thank her for her hard work. 

The three colors that I chose are Purple, Yellow, and Silver

For this card I used:

Create a Critter 2 - for this adorable spider. 

My sentiment is from CardzTV Stamps Frankly Frightful

Happy Fourth of July Statue of Liberty Card

Happy Sunday!! I hope you all had a blessed and wonderful Fourth of July with your family and friends. We celebrated with a wonderful meal and then headed to our favorite spot to watch fireworks. Fireworks bring back such wonderful memories for me.
As a child, I would head to my grandma's house and watch the fireworks from now Delgrosso's Park but back then it was called Bland's Park. We would listen to the music and enjoy the sites and sounds.

When I moved to New York, my favorite place to see fireworks was Niagara Falls. We would sit on the hill and watch the beautiful display of colors take launch in the night sky. Then when I had children, we would go to Riverside park and watch with our family and celebrate our great country.
Because of these memories and my love for the Fourth of July, I decided to make this card for my mom.
To make this card I used:
Create a Critter 2
Cricut Everyday Holiday Cards
Circle 1.25 inches

The sentiment is from CardzTV Stamps Happy Days Stamp Set. Mary also has some wonderful new sets that would go well with this card as well.  Be sure to check out her new All American Sentiments set.

I hope you have a blessed Sunday!! 

Blessings!

CardzTV Card Designers Challenge #1 Any Occasion

Welcome back everyone for our first CardzTV Card Designers Challenge of the New Year!!
I am so honored to be a part of this wonderful team of designers for another term!!
This week Mary has challenged us to make a card for any Occasion. January is a busy month in our house with birthdays.
So for today's card I chose to use my Cricut Explore and make a cute birthday card for my daughter Carleigh. She is 10 years old today!! It's so hard to believe.
I used Create a Critter 2 and Elegant Edges for the card. It was so much fun to create but a lot of work as the Explore has no way to size the mat. But after a while I figured it out.

My CardzTV Stamps sentiment is I'm Your Biggest Fan from CardzTV Stamps This N That Stamp Set

I hope you enjoyed this fun project and will head over to CardzTV to see what the rest of my design team sisters have for you!! 

Remember you have until noon on January 29th to post your creation on CardzTV. We can't wait to see what you create!!

Have a blessed Friday!!
