CardzTV Go-to Galz Linky Party "Happy Halloween!"

It's almost Halloween, can you believe it? That's what we are celebrating this week at CardzTV. Our challenge is called (surprise, surprise) "Happy Halloween! (Create a card, layout or 3D project using only black, orange and /or purple).

This is what I came up with:

Approximate size: 4 3/4' x 4 3/4" x 1 1/2"

Materials:

Cardstock: Black and Orange

Silhouette 3D Witches Boot

Sizzix Tag, Crescent Combo (Smallest Tag)

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Happy Days "Happy Halloween!"

Thin Purple Ribbon

Purple Brad

I will be honest with you, I had a hard time putting this together. It took me quite awhile, a few attempts and I'm not 100% happy with it. However.....what are you going to do...I stressed over it way too long! A helpful hint is to lace the boot front tongue before you put it together. (Do you think I tried it the other way first?) lol I used a large eye needle with the ribbon because the holes are very small to go through. 

I filled it with an Autumn Mix of candy corn. 

Don't forget to check out the other designers and their projects. Mary gives away a stamp set to the winner (their choice). Challenge will last 2 weeks. 

Hope you all have a frightfully great Halloween.

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment or the witch in me may just cast a spell on you!

CardzTV Linky Party Go-to Galz Challenge "Pumpkin Patch"

I know I haven't been around too much lately...life and house projects have gotten the best of me. That happens to us all, huh? 

Here it is in October already...I cannot believe it, can you? Although the weather decided it wanted to give us another taste of summer this past week. My granddaughter even asked if she could go swimming and I had to explain that we had closed the pool. She just wanted to know "Why?" lol

On another subject, we have a great challenge for you at CardzTV. It's called "Pumpkin Patch" (create anything that has to do with pumpkins). Challenge will run for 2 weeks and Mary will be giving away a set of stamps to the winner. She is so generous! And seriously, who wouldn't want to win one of her stamp sets?

When I think of pumpkins, I think of Halloween, Jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin picking, Fall and Thanksgiving (to name just a few...lol). So there are plenty of ways to go with your cards and projects, right? Well this is what I came up with:

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

Materials:

Cardstock: Black, Orange, Green and Patterned

Cricut Cartridge Mini Monsters Jack-o-lantern, page 58 (Base, Layer 1 Base and Layer 1 Shift)

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Fall Fun "Piles of Smiles"

Markers; Green, Brown and White

Googly Eyes (Two Different Sizes, 3 of each)

Mounting Tape

I thought this background paper was perfect! Don't you agree? The sign and the top Jack-o-lantern are single mounted. The next pumpkin down is double mounted. I thought you could use this as a Halloween card or an October birthday...actually a "Thinking of You" or  "Get Well Soon" would work also. 

Since we are talking about pumpkins, I thought I would share a photo of my granddaughter when we (Gianna, her father and myself) went pumpkin picking last weekend.

She is getting so darn big! 

Hope you join the challenge.

CardzTV Linky Party Go To Galz "Fair Time"

Another great Challenge with the CardzTV Linky Party Go to Galz! It's called "Fair Time" (Any project that has to do with the fair). Challenges run for two weeks and Mary gives away a set of stamps (your choice) to the winner. 

Here is my card:

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

Materials:

Cardstock: White, Blue and Patterned Paper

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps "Love in a Jar" Jar and "Be My Valentine" (You're Still The ONE!)

Spectrum Noir Markers

Small Circle Punch

Glossy Accents

Queen and Company Pearls Grass Green

Mounting Tape

When I think of a fair, I think of a County Fair with competitions for Blue Ribbon preserves, pies and farm stock. I thought I would make a some good ole preserves...lol. 

I stamped the jar, then colored it with markers. I applied Glossy Accents and let it dry. I punched the circle and stamped it with "ONE!". I tried to make it look like ribbon around the top, then added the tails. The jar is single mounted and so is the ribbon on the jar. 

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to join the fun. Please leave a comment.

Cardz TV Linky Party Go-To Galz Sew Much Fun!

Hi everyone! We’re back from our Summer vacation with some new, fun challenges, linky parties, and a new name! We’ve divided our large Cardz TV Design Team into 2 smaller teams, and we’re now Cardz TV Challenge Go-To Galz, and Cardz TV Linky Party Go-To Galz! We’ll be rotating every other week, so each week on Cardz TV, you’ll have a chance to enter our challenge, or link up to our linky party! We’re really excited about this new format, and hope you’ll play along! As always, we’ll use random.org to pick a winner for each linky party, for Cardz TV Stamps and lots of other fun prizes!

The Cardz TV Go-To Galz have been really creative in choosing their linky party themes, SO…are you ready for some fun?

This is what our Cardz TV Linky Party Go-To Galz have come up with for this week:

Linky Party #1 “Sew Much Fun” 

Create a card, layout or craft using real or faux stitching.

You have until noon EST, Thursday, August 15th, to post your name and a link to your creation, using Inlinkz below at Cardz TV. Many of you have asked, and no, you don't have to use Cardz TV Stamps to link up and enter! The link up winner, picked by random.org, will receive a set of Cardz TV Stamps!

Here is my card:

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

Materials:
CardzTV  Stamps Sew Much Fun "You've Got Me In Stitches!"
Cricut Cartridge Create a Critter Bee, page 68 (Base and Layer 1)

I added some faux stitches on the bee and the green strips. The background paper was just the right match. The bee is on an Action Wobble, however, I can't ever get a photo of it wobbling.
