CardzTV Blog Hop "Good Times"

We are having a blog hop this week at CardzTV. It's called "Good Times". This is one of Mary's newest stamp sets.
If you came from Elaine's blog, then you are in the right place. However, if you just happen to come across my blog and would like to hop along, please start with Mary at CardzTV. 

Here is my project:




Finished Project: Approximately 4" x 3" x 2 1/4"

Materials:
Cardstock: Brown, 3 Shades of Pink, Wine and Patterned Paper
Cricut Projects Sweet Tooth Boxes, Cake Box, Buttons 1, 11, 21 and 31
Cricut Projects Flower Shoppe (Flower Center) Button 4
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Good Times, "Have your CAKE and eat it too!"
Scallop Punch 
Sizzix Tag, Crescent Combo Largest Tag
Black Pigment Ink

The flower on top is made with a base scallop, then 8 other scallops. Fold each scallop in half then fold in half again and then a third time.  Glue on top of the base. The flower center is just twisted and glued on top. I kept it pretty simple to keep it looking "real"...lol. For this size box, I made a mini cake. I hope you like my project. 

This is the new stamp set:


Doesn't it have some GREAT sentiments?

Happy Easter Flowers

***********
For the CardzTV Spring Blog Hop, (March 24th and 25th) please click here or scroll down.


************


I was inspired to make this project for two challenge blogs...Fantabulous Cricut and Cupcake Inspirations.

Here is the other side:


Approximate Finished Size: 4 1/2" x 6 " x 4 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Pink. Green, Yellow/Gold and Patterned Paper
Desert Diva Digital Images "Happy Easter" (both)
Spectrum Noir Markers
Giant Circle Punch
Cricut Cartridge Flower Shoppe Daisy, page 18 (Daisy 1 and Daisy 4) and Daisy Leaf, page 22 (Daisy 5)
Cricut Cartridges Sweet Tooth Boxes Cone, page 15 (Cone Layer 1 and Cone Layer 3)
Cricut Design Studio
Pink, Yellow, Green  and Black Pigment Inks
Small Styrofoam Ball (Cut in Half)
Hot Glue Gun
Spanish Moss
Toothpicks
Wire

For each Daisy: (I made 6 of them...3 in Pink and 3 in White)
Cut "Daisy 1" (center) at 2" in Yellow/Gold (cut 6 times)
Cut "Daisy 4" (petals) at 1 1/2" and 2" in Pink and White (cut 3 of each size)
Cut "Daisy 4" (calyx) at 1" in Green (cut 6 times)
Cut "Daisy 5" (leaf) at 1 1/4" in Green (2 leaves for each Daisy for a total of 12)
Glue the individual components together ( I suggest using hot glue...I used my adhesive gun first, but it came apart)
Use pigment ink on the edges (Yellow on the White Flowers, Pink on the Pink Flowers and Green on the Leaves)
Stick a toothpick into the back of the Daisy Centers, then glue each layer (Center, 1 1/2" Flower, 2" Flower, 2 Leaves to the back side of the 2" Flower and then the 1" Calyx (I also colored the toothpicks green...just in case they could be seen)

For the Pot (Cone):
I cut it out twice...once in White and once in Patterned Paper (I think it was at 8").
I glued the two together (to make it stronger)
Assemble
Fold the inside layer (normally to hold a cupcake) and place inside
Glue the half Styrofoam ball to the bottom center
Add a little Spanish Moss

For the Happy Easter Sign:
Download and print images
Color
Cut out with Giant Circle Punch
Tape a wire (approximately 5") to the back of one of the images
Glue other image to the back of the first image

Assemble together by placing the Daisies and Sign into the Pot

I am really happy how it turned out. I must admit I was hesitate to try the flowers because I don't really think the directions are very clear. I'm a much more visual person. However, I did it! (I bet you can too!)

Have a great rest of the day. Thanks for stopping by.

"Hoppy Easter"

Pin It


I just ran across a new challenge blog (at least for me)...it's called Go Fish The Challenge Blog. (Create an Easter project).

This is what I came up with:


Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Pink, Black and Patterned Paper
Cricut Cartridge George and Basic Shapes 2 circles,  2 fat ovals and 4 ovals
Cricut Cartridge Flower Shoppe Mum, Button 10
Cricut Design Studio
Computer Sentiment In Pink Pigment Ink
Black Sharpie Marker
Queen and Co Pearls, Pearl 3 Medium
Mounting Tape

I was inspired by a project I saw on Pinterest. I went through all my Cricut Cartridges but couldn't find any bunny/rabbit that worked. So, I went to my George Cartridge and Design Studio then designed the bunny that I wanted. I think he turned out just right! I used the Mum Flower from Flower Shoppe and the same paper as the background to make the tail.

Let me know what you think....
