Happy Thanksgiving

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

My card is a Joy Fold card.  They are easy to make.  I started with a piece of Kraft card stock cut at 4 1/4" X 8 1/2". Then score the card stock at 5 1/2" this makes the front's left front flap.

Next cut a piece of card stock 3" x 8" and score it at 4".  This makes the piece that the Turkey in the picture is adhered to.

I added some patterned paper cut 1/4" smaller than the individual sections of the card.  The piece with the turkey on it is centered on the inside of the card on the bigger right flap.

I used Going in Circles stamp set and a scalloped punch to make the little piece used to keep the card closed.  On the inside I used Thankful for You stamp set for the inside sentiment. Both the Turkey and the pie came from the Silhouette store.  The Turkey is a print and cut image.

Now it is your turn to show us what you can do to make a 3D card for Thanksgiving and link it up over at CardzTV for a chance to win a set of CardzTV Stamps.  Thanks for stopping by.  Please feel free to leave me a comment I love reading them.

Butterfly Kisses

It is time for a new 3D Challenge over at CardzTV  T-his weeks challenge is to create a 3D project using flowers.  I had a lot of fun with this one and hope you do too.  Here is my project.

.
I found these daisies in the Silhouette store.  They were designed with just two cuts, the flower and the center.  They way they were intended to be put together was to put a straw through the holes.  However wouldn't you know it, my straws were just a tiny bit two small. SO I had to improvise.

I cut one end of the straw down both sides about 1/2" and spread the straw apart and pushed down on the ends so they were flat.  I used some glossy accents to attach my straw to the yellow center with the hole in it.  Now I had to figure out how to cover the holes.  The yellow centers were cut at 1 3/4".  So I used a 1 1/2" scalloped punch to punch a scallop out of this bright pink color. Then I used a 1 1/4" circle punch to punch another yellow circle. Finally I stamped this second yellow circle with a Peachy Keen stamp face. I used the 1" size stamp and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Using my white gel pen I added some freckles to the pink cheeks.  The pink cheeks were add with a rose colored Prima Watercolor pencil and blended with a Dove blending pen.

Next I cut out this cut butterfly from the Create a Critter cartridge.  I used my Explore and Design Space to  flatten the butterfly so I could do a print and cut on it.  I cut the butterfly out at 2".  I added some Raspberry Stickles to the dark pink areas on the butterfly's wings and some Lime green stickles on the very end of his antenna's.  Once the stickles was dry I glued the butterfly to a straw. 

I found this little biodegradable pot at my craft store and thought it would be perfect for this project.. I added some floral oasis inside the pot to hold my flowers. I bent each straw slightly so that you could see the flowers cute faces.  I added some leftover green Easter grass to cover the oasis.  Next I put my butterfly in the center of the pot.  For my sentiment I used some white and pink butterfly Washi Tape and some Staz-on black ink I stamped my sentiment unto the Washi tape and the carefully wrapped it around a straw.  I cut the end of the tape to make it look like a flag.  My sentiment is from the Think Spring CardzTv Stamp Set.

Now it is your turn. Show us what you can do with a 3D Challenge using flowers.  And don't forget to hop over to Mary's Stamp blog and get your stamps ordered..  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think of my project. I love hearing from you.  Don't forget to visit the other Design Teams blogs to see what they made for the challenge.

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.  

Thank You Card!

I made this quick card today to thank someone who has been a big help to me this past week with getting some paperwork completed so I could get it turned in.

This cute little mouse is a Print and Cut image from the Silhouette store. 

My card base is Kraft card stock cut and scored to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I added a blue mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4" and the polka dot mat cut at 3 7/8" X 5 1/8".  I then took a piece of the left over blue paper and embossed half of it with an Anna Griffin border embossing folder. I stamped my sentiment with Memento Tuxedo black ink and adhered the mat to my card. My little mouse is adhered to the card with some foam tape. I added some orange enameled dots to finish the card.

All in our Places - CardzTV Challenge

It  is time once again for a new 3D challenge over at CardzTV.  The challenge is to make Place Cards for your Thanksgiving dinner table.  Here is what I made.

The file is a print and cut file from the Silhouette store. I added the names to each card and had it print the names on the place cards when it print the cards out. I then let the Silhouette cut them out.  Next I stamped them each with So Thankful from the Thankful for You stamp set using Potters Clay Memento Ink.

 

 I cut the leaf from the 3D Floral Home Decor cartridge that came with my Cricut Explore. I spritzed the leaves with some orange glitter spray. Hopefully you can see it in this picture. 

Okay, now it is your turn. Show us your place cards by linking them to the CardzTV blog, giving you a chance to win a set of CardzTV stamps.
