CardzTV Card Challenge #2 St. Patrick's Day

Hi everyone,

Welcome to CardzTV Card Challenge #2. The challenge for this week is all about St Patrick's Day. Be sure to visit Mary at CardzTV to link up your project. The winner of this challenge will win a set of CardzTV stamps.

Now, I will admit in my youth, visiting a bar or two on St. Patty's Day and partaking in some (obnoxious!) green beer. My mom would sometimes even make corned beef and cabbage. She always put rice in the bottom of the bowl and then ladled the soup over it. It was quite delicious. I am actually going to send this card over to the Librarian at the other high school who is very much Irish. She visits Ireland every few years and I think that she would appreciate a little card to celebrate her heritage! This is the stamp set that I used:

 

I love this stamp set. It's super versatile and just handy to keep this one in the front of your stamp sets when you need a quick sentiment.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

I really liked how it came out! I have a video for you all too so you can see the recipe and see how it gets put together.

 





Thanks so much for visiting today and I hope that you all get a chance to join in the challenge.

Love Bear

Hi everyone,

Today, I am sharing such a fun card. Maybe you have seen bloggers and crafters who have designed "SVG" like cuts using nothing but Cricut cartridges. Well, on one of the groups I belong to on Facebook, a gal gave some instructions on how to make a cute bear. It mostly used the Artiste and Art Philosophy cartridges and took awhile to cut and assemble everything but I just love how it came out.

 

I used some paper from Bo Bunny I have had for awhile. The stamp is from Jaded Blossom. I did some doodling and added a little stickles as well as some hearts that I had leftover from another project.

 

It just goes to show that you can still do a lot of fun things with your Cricut!

 

Be sure to watch the video to get the recipe and see how it all gets put together.

 

Thanks so much for visiting.

Deer Note

Hi everyone,

Here is the last of my cards that I made for Christmas cards.

The paper was perfect for this card. I used the Echo Park Keepin' Cozy paper pad and I used my Wink of Stella along the lines of the paper and it looks very shimmery and pretty in real life. The deer is from (I think?) Give a Hoot. My sentiment is from an old Stampin' Up Stamp set.

Super easy!

Note Birds

Hi everyone,

I was just having some fun with some new crafting stuff that I got before Christmas and didn't get to use. The paper is from Echo Park Keepin' Cozy and these cute little birds are from Lawn Fawn and I think it's called Season's Tweeting. The snowflake sequins are also Lawn Fawn and the sentiment is from Stampin' UP. I did some coloring with my copic markers and it came together very quickly. It was just fun to do a bit of stamping which is sometimes a faster way of getting crafty than pulling out and turning on any of my die cut machines!

Have a great day!

Love is All I need

Hi everyone,
I have a very quick card to share with you. Just trying to give equal crafty love to all of my crafting supplies and so I made a quick card using what I had on my desk.

So on my desk I had Valentine's paper and dies and stamps from Paper Smooches. So cute! Thanks so much for visiting me today.

Valentine Sweet Treats

Hi everyone,
I have some cute Valentine projects that I will also be using for some challenges. The first was just an experiment in using the Print and Cut feature on the Silhouette. Being a die hard Cricut user for the last 5 years, I can really see what the fuss is about because once you figure out the ins and outs of making the print function work right, it is seriously amazing! So I went a little nuts and printed a bunch of stuff out! This first project is just some candy in some small bags with a little topper that I am giving to my student volunteers. I have some real sweeties this year!

 

The cute little mailbear is from the Silhouette store.

 

My next two projects are altered mailboxes. I saw on someone's blog (is it you? let me know so that I can link to you...) that they had altered these plastic Target mailboxes (not the metal ones). I was so excited to find the last two at my local Target and alter them very simply.

 

For this one, I used Jaded Blossom stamps for the sentiment and for decorating the bottom of the Hershey kisses, aren't they super cute! This one is for my Lily. I will be adding this one to the Jaded Blossom challenge.

 

 

The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's and this cute Silhouette Store doggie is for my big boy Tyler. He is still little enough to appreciate mom's projects. What's inside you say? Just some Hershey kisses and a fun ball that lights up when it hits the ground. They are so easy to please at this age! I will be adding this to the Scrappy-Mom's challenge.

 

Last but not least, I was in the top 3 at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons challenge!

Java Nice Day

Hi everyone,
I have a fun project for you using a cut from Winter Frolic. Be sure to watch the video to get the recipe and see how it all gets put together.

I think it's supposed to be hot cocoa but I like using this image with coffee too! I am still using the Keepin' Cozy paper pad by Echo Park, a very versatile pad. I used up all of it and I think that I have a project or two left to show you using it.

Thanks for visiting today.
