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.

CardzTV Challenge # 2 "Crafty Christmas"

Before I get to the challenge, I would like to apologize for not being around. I did not expect to be working as many hours as I am for as long as I have been. I am trying to make enough time for everything. I also am trying to get all the holiday stuff organized, as most of us are. (I'm hosting a cookie exchange this coming weekend). I have not had a lot of time to craft for my blog. :( Hopefully this will not be an issue for too long.

Now, onto the challenge....

This week the challenge at CardzTV is called "Crafty Christmas" (Make a Christmas project using CardzTV Stamps). I made a candy box/ornament/tag...


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

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Black, Blue and Vellum
Cricut Cartridge Sweet Tooth Boxes House, page 40 (Button 6, Button 16 and Button 26)
Cricut Design Studio
CardzTV with Mary "Holly Jolly" Clear Stamp Set, "From Our House to Your House"
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Candy Cane Stripe
White Pigment Ink
Glitter
Stickles, Green
Embroidery Floss, Red 1 Strand

I used the vellum as window panes, the glitter as snow on the windows and roof and the Stickles as the garland under the windows and the wreath on the door. The bow on the door wreath is made with 1 strand of embroidery floss. I thought the embossing folder made it look like siding on a house.

I was going to put Hershey Kisses or M&M's inside as an extra goodie. Make a small hole in the center of the top and tie a ribbon loop in order to use as a tag or an ornament. To use as a tag, you could stamp "To:" and "From:" on the blank side of the roof and use a white gel pen to write the names.

Don't forget that Mary at CardzTV is giving away 2 sets of stamps..."Encouraging Thoughts" and "Make A Wish" to the winner. Good luck! Please check out all the great projects from the other designers also.

Thanks for stopping by....I would love to hear from you, so leave a comment. (I wouldn't mind if you became a follower either). See you soon...

imagine what you could do....

Fantabulous Cricut "A Pirate's Life"

I had a fun time with this Fantabulous Cricut challenge..."A Pirate's Life" (Make a pirate themed project). Well, I always think of Treasure Chests when I think of pirates, don't you? So that is what I made...


The back:


And when you open it:


Now you might think that it is completely filled with gold doubloons (chocolate) and jewels, but...


You would be wrong! There's a false floor and if you pick up the gold band (ribbon)...


There are more treasures underneath.

I hope you were able to see that it also has a place for a lock on the front too...



This would be great for a Pirate themed party. You could make it smaller and use it as favor boxes for each of your pirate guests.

Finished Chest: 4 3/4" x 2 1/4" x 5 "

Materials:
Cardstock: Black, White and Gold
Cricut Cartridge Sweet Tooth Boxes Toolbox (Toolbox, Toolbox Layer 1, Toolbox Layer 2 and Toolbox Layer 3)
Cricut Cartridge Indie Art Skull and Cross Bones, 12th Button
Cricut Design Studio
Queen and Co Pearls Nightfall
Gold Ribbon
Black Pigment Ink (rubbed on the gold and skull to make them look tarnished and old)

For the inside box, I cut the Toolbox Layer 1 twice without the "gear shape" and added a scrap of black cardstock to the bottom for a finished look. I also cut the inner box 1/4" smaller. I cut strips of Gold cardstock at 1/2" and glued them in place around the box.

Hope you liked this project....it was really so much fun to make.

Have a great week...
imagine what you could do....
