Mother's Day Card 3D Challenge

It is time once again for a new 3D Challenge over at CardzTV.  The challenge is to make a 3D Card for Mother's Day. This is what I came up with.  For the challenge I decided to make an Easel Card.  My card folds flat to fit and A2 envelope.

My image is cut from the A Child's Year cricut cartridge at 3.5"  I cut the shadow out of black and the top layer out of a turquoise paper.  I adhere the images together and then attached them to my card with foam tape.  I added the ribbon at the bottom and the front was done.

To make it so the card stood up, I cut a piece of black paper at 4 1/4" X 1 1/2" and a piece of the turquoise paper at 4 1.4"" X 1 1/4" and layered it on top of the black mat.  I stamped my sentiment which is from the Happy Days CardzTV Stamp set.  I then adhered the piece to the bottom inside of the card base with some foam tape.

Now it is your turn. Hop on over to CardzTV and show us your 3D Card for Mom.  By playing along you have a chance to win a set of CardzTV stamps.  While you are there, be sure to check out the two new stamp sets that CardzTV just released.

3D Birthday Challenge

It is time once again for a new 3D Challenge over at CardzTV.  The challenge this time is to make a 3D birthday card or project.  This is what I came up with.

I saw this great tutorial to make a pleated skirt fold card on Splitcoaststampers.  You start with a piece of double sided patterned paper cut at 7 3/4" in length by 3" wide.  You then make a mark at 1 1/4" on the narrow 3" side and another mark at 3" on the 7 3/4" side.  You cut between the two marks to give you an angled edge.  Next you score your card on the lengthwise side at 3" and 3 1/2" and 5" and 6 1/8".  Then do a mountain valley fold to create your pleats. (I would recommend checking out the video tutorial).

Once you have your pleats you can attach the "skirt" to your A2 card base.  Next I added a strip of paper cut from the same paper as the skirt to the top of the skirt. I cut this piece at 1/2" X 4 1/4".  To decorate the front I made a rosette and added it to the card along with a flourish I die cut and added some rhinestones to.  Finally I stamped happy birthday from the Bigger Everyday Sayings stamp set, to the card front.

Thanks for stopping by.. Now it is your turn to show us your 3D birthday projects.

Heart Basket

It's time for a new 3D challenge over at Cardztv.   The challenge is to make a 3D box or treat bag for Valentines Day.  Here is what I came up with.

For this challenge I made a heart basket.  I purchased the SVG file from SVG Attic and cut it with my Cricut Explore.  I did have to hand weave the sides to get the basket look but it was easy to do.  My sentiment is from the new Love Ya stamp set.  I added some tissue paper to the inside bottom of the basket then filled it with candy.

Now it is your turn.  Link up your 3D project over at Cardztv.  While you are there, pop over the the stamp blog and check out the new stamp set.

3D Pumpkin Challenge

It is time for a new 3D Challenge over at CardzTV.  The challenge this time is to make a 3D Pumpkin.  This is what I came up with.

I found this cut in the Lori Whitlock Blog shop.  It is also available in the Silhouette Store.  I opted to cut my pumpkin our of fall pattern paper from Bo Bunny.  It was easy to assemble just fold each piece in half and glue it to another piece.  I used one piece of paper but used both sides of the paper when assembled the pumpkin.  I wanted a fall look rather than a Halloween look.  The sentiment is stamped on the leaf that comes with the project. I stamped it in Rich Cocoa.  I folded the leaf stem over and glued it to the back of the leaf.  I than ran a piece of bakers twine through the whole created by gluing the stem, and tied it in a small bowl.  I hot glued the leaf to the top of the pumpkin.  I think it would be cute to do these in several sizes and make a centerpiece out of them.  Smaller pumpkins could also be used as place holders for your Thanksgiving table.  My sentiment is from Thankful for You.

Now it is your turn. Show us your 3D pumpkins.

Happy Fall Y'all!

Well the 3d CardzTV Designers are back with our first challenge of the fall.  This weeks challenge is to make a 3D Fall Card.  This is what I came up with.

My card is a Double Dutch fold card.  You start with a piece of cards stock 4 3/16" X 9".  You score this piece of card stock at 5 1/2" that makes the top fold of the card.  You also need a piece of card stock 2" x 8 1/2".  This is scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8".  Attach the smaller piece of card stock to the back of the lower edge of the bigger piece.  The two flaps fold over to the front similar to a gate fold card.

My card base is made from Kraft card stock. To cover the larger flap up top you need a piece of card stock cut at 4" x 3 1/4".  I used a rusty orange piece of card stock from my stash.  I also cut little pieces to cover the flaps.  I cut mine at 1 7/8" X 1 7/8".  I embossed all to cover pieces with a Darice embossing folder called Autumn Leaves.  It is really a pretty embossing folder. Once I embossed the pieces I sprayed them lightly with some Tattered Angels Sugar Maple glimmer mist and let dry.

Next I cut my little scarecrow from the Simply Charms cartridge at 2 3/4".  I attached him with an action wobble so he can wave hello to everyone.  My sentiment is from the Thankful for You Cardztv Stamp set.  I cut the sentiment into 3 pieces so I could stamp it on Kraft cardstock to get the results I wanted.

Now that you've seen my card hop on over to the CardzTV blog and check out all the other designers projects.  Then get you project entered for a chance to win a set of CardzTV stamps.
