Each of us on the design team has made at least one project showcasing some of the new colors.  You should have arrived at my blog from the lovely Cheri's blog.  For my project, I chose to make a card showcasing the Purple Passion ribbon.  Purple is my favorite color and this card is for my mother who is having back surgery today.  She will appreciate the purple and she loves flowers.

CardzTV DT challenge #8: Rainbow

Mary has challenged the design team with a rainbow theme using the colors pink, blue, green and yellow only with small bits of white and black.  I love these challenges because they get me to be more creative and I love how everybody on the design team interprets them differently.  I hope you will be inspired by the design team's creations and see how versatile the CardzTV stamp sets are!!  I just love these stamps because the sentiments are so cute and the stamps are so well made.  Anyway, here is my interpretation of the challenge -

The flower is cut from the "Sweet Treats" cartridge and the leaves are from "Walk in my garden".  I used the cuttlebug on the leaves to give them some texture.  The sentiment is from the "think spring" stamp set from CardzTV stamps.  I used some crinkle ribbon that I made with Hug Snug seam binding and smooch spritz to embellish my card.  I also made the stick pin and accented the card with stickles, liquid pearls and my gelly roll pen from Sakura.  Used some stampin up dimensionals to pop up the flower and the sentiment.  The cute designer paper was in a package I got from the Target $1 spot awhile ago:-)  Thanks for stopping by.  Make sure you head over to CardzTV to see how the rest of the design team interpreted this challenge.  Mary is going to be giving away a set of her stamps during this challenge too:-)

Day 2 Cardz TV challenge #6 "anything goes"

I have another card for you using Cardz TV stamp set "Think Spring".  I just love this set!!  Once again, I used A Walk in My Garden Cricut Cartridge to make my card.  I created a shaped card using my Gypsy.  I cut two bases out for my card and glued them together and then scored the fold (see the picture for a better understanding).  I used glossy accents on my ladybug and embossed the leaf using my cuttlebug.  
Make sure you head over to Cardz TV to enter in this challenge and be eligible to win a set of Mary's stamps!

Cardz TV Design Team Challenge #6

This time around Mary's challenge to the design team was "Anything Goes".  I knew right away that I wanted to make a project using the Cardz TV Stamp Set "Think Spring".  I am in love with this set!!  It has phrases that I always wished I had on hand when making cards using flowers on them.  I had been wanting to make a watering can pocket card for a couple of weeks now.  Do you find inspiration for your project in odd places?  I have a watering can shaped flower pot that sits by my front door.  For the past couple of weeks, I would walk by that and feel the need to make a card using a watering can on it.  So. . . here we are!!

All of my cuts are from "Walk in My Garden" Cricut Cartridge.  This is an oldie but a goodie:-)  Hop on over to Cardz TV to see the rest of the design team's projects.  Mary is giving away a set of her stamps again for this challenge.  

2 cards and a Halloween share

I had made two cards recently that work for two current challenges and wanted to get them posted today.  The first card is a sympathy card for a gal that attends one of my yoga classes and recently lost her father.
I used Walk In My Garden for the flowers and vase.  I embossed the vase with the candy cane cuttlebug folder and inked the surface and edges of it.  The center of my flowers are decorated with irock gems and I added an adhesive butterfly for the final touch.   The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms.

 I am going to enter this card in the following challenges -

Wacky Wednesday - buttons, bling or brads

Whimsical Wednesday - anything goes

The next card is a Christmas card I made using Create A Critter and Paper doll dress up for the santa hat. 

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges -

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge - for the birds

The next thing I wanted to share with you guys are the Halloween goodie bags my 9 year old daughter made for her soccer team.  We used Mini Monsters cartridge and I cut out the pieces and she did all of the assembling including the goodies in their treat bags:-) We made 16 of them!! It was a great way to entertain her when she was home sick with a bad head cold.

going to enter this in the current Cricut Cardz Challenge:-)

Cricut Cardz Challenge - Thank You Card

The challenge this week was to make a thank you card using yellow and blue and a border cut from a cricut cartrdige.  All of my cuts were made using Walk In My Garden.  I chose to make an easel style card. 

Throwback Thursday challenge

challenge was to use Walk In My Garden cartridge.  I had always wanted to try the card feature so that is what I did!!  I left the card blank so I could use it for any occasion and may or may not add a sentiment when the occasion arises.
