Kat Scrappiness WCMD Challenge

 

Hey everyone! In honor of World Cardmaking Day, Kat Scrappiness is hosting a challenge over on their blog with a chance to win a $25 gift card to the Kat Scrappiness store.

For my project today I started with a 4 1/4"  X 5 1/2" white card base. I used pattern papers from the Creepy and Kooky 6" X 6" paper pad. I cut the striped paper to 4"  5 1/4". I then used the reverse side of the paper to cut a 1" X 5 1/4" strip that I adhered to the striped paper about  a 1/4" from the left edge. I then adhered that to my card base. 

I then used two circle dies from the Never Ending Circle Dies to cut a circle out of orange cardstock and a slightly smaller circle out of another piece of pattern paper. I then adhered them together.

I then die cut a ghost from the Boo-gy Ghosts Craft Dies, along with the witch's hat and broom. I cut a small scrap of black cardstock to adhere behind the eyes and mouth. The die cuts part of the arms out so the ghost can hold something. I added the broom. Once my ghost was assembled I adhered it to the center of my circle. I then added the circles to my card front with some foam squares.

To finish my card, I stamped a sentiment from the Happy Day stamp set using black ink onto a scrap of the orange cardstock and adhered that to the lower right hand corner of the card.

There is still time to play along with the challenge over at  Kat Scrappiness. I hope you will join in the fun. Thanks for stopping by.

Mother's Day 3D Challenge

It is time for a new 3D Challenge over at CardzTV.  The Challenge this week is to make a 3D card for Mother's Day. Here is what I came up with.

I made an Easel Card for my project. I used bright yellow and blue card stock for my layers.  The final yellow layer behind my image is embossed with tiny flowers.  I apologize, that I don't know the name of the folder but it is a Sizzix embossing folder.

My image is from the Suburbia cartridge. It is called Gloria all dressed up. It is a simple cut just two layers yellow and black.  I cut her out at 3 1/2".  I used some daffodil liquid pearls to enhance her earring and the necklace because they are so tiny and hard to see..  She is attached to my card with some foam tape. The word Mom was cut from a Silhouette file but you could use any font you have..

To help my easel card stand up I added a blue mat cut at 2" X 4". I used a EK Success border punch to add the scalloped edge.  Next I cut a piece of yellow card stock at 1 1/2" X 3 3/4".  I used some Printworks Periwinkle Blue ink to stamp my sentiment.  The Queen for a day comes from the CardzTV This and That stamp set.  Happy Mother's Day is from the Happy Days stamp set.

Now it is your turn.  Show us your 3d Card for Mother's Day.  Be sure to link it up over at CardzTV .
The challenge runs two weeks. At the end of the challenge Mary will use Random.Org to select a winner for a free set of stamps.  While over there don't forget to hop on over to her stamp blog and order up some stamps. You will never be at a loss for words if you have several sets of Mary's stamps.

Happy Easter 3D Challenge

It is time once again for a new 3D challenge over at CardzTV. The new challenge is to create a 3D card, or treat bag or holder for Easter.  Here is what I came up with.

This is a Shadow box card. The finished card size is 4" X 5 1/2" so it will fit in an A2 size envelope.

I found the Image in the Silhouette store Design ID #76546.  I cut it at the default settings and layered the image together.  It is actually a fairly quick and easy card to put together.  The trick is to use foam dots between each of the layers.  You start with the cut with the widest border and layer the frames ending with the smallest bordered frame as the outside one.

I stamped my sentiment using the Happy Days stamp set on a 1 1/4" circle that I cut in half so I could tuck it up under one of the frames.

Now I hope you will join us and enter your 3D Easter project. Remember Mary will be giving a way a set of stamps. So pop on over to CardzTV and link up your project.  While there pop on over to the stamp blog and browse her selection of stamps. She has 4 new released stamp sets so be sure to check them out.
