CardzTV Stamps Challenge # 26 "It's So You!"

Another great challenge here at CardzTV Stamps. It's called "It's So You!" Make a project with YOUR favorite colors. Now you would think that would be easy, huh? Well, it really wasn't that easy for me...let me explain. My granddaughter (age 3 1/2) and I have this conversation all the time..."What's your favorite color, Mom Mom? I like Pink!" And I always answer, "I don't have one sweetheart. I like red, green, yellow, blue...all the colors."  

So with that in mind, here is my card:

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

Materials:

Cardstock: Red, Yellow, Black, Green, White and Patterned Paper

Cricut Cartridge Mickey and Friends Pluto 2, (Base, Shift, Layers: Face/White Shift, Layers: Outfit/Tongue Base and Shift and Layers: Shoes/Ribbon/Hat Shift) 

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Barks and Bones, "Happy Tails to You!"

Black Pigment Ink

Mounting Tape

I think I covered almost all the colors, huh? Pluto is one of my favorites Disney characters. (Gianna likes Minnie Mouse). How about you? I kept this pretty simple, but I think it works. 

Now don't forget to join the challenge. Mary is giving away one of her stamp sets to the winner. Isn't that so nice? Challenge ends in two weeks. Good luck.

Thanks for stopping by.

Digi Haven Challenge "It's a Dog's World"

If you are looking for the CardzTV Stamp Challenge, click here.

This week's challenge at Digi Haven is to use a FREE digital image of a dog or cat.

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

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Black and Patterned Paper
Melonheadz Illustrating Digital Image
Spectrum Noir Markers
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Barks and Bones, "Dogs Leave Paw Prints On Your Heart!"
Queen and Co Pearls Berry Red, 1 Medium
Mounting Tape

Isn't he SOOO cute?! I love Melonheadz images and I actually printed out the image 3 times. I colored the first one completely. The second image I colored the bone and muzzle the same as the first and the third one, I colored only the muzzle. After I fussy cut them out, I single mounted each layer on top of the other.

The background paper totally goes with the sentiment...don't you agree?

Hope you decide to join us this week for the challenge. I can't wait to see what you make. Don't forget to link back to the original artist.

Thanks for stopping by.

Friends Furever

On my earlier post today, I said that I was going to try heat embossing with VersaMark. Well, that's what I did with this card.

Finished Card: 41/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White and Patterned Paper
Melonheadz Illustrating Digital Image (Two Separate Images)
Spectrum Noir Markers
Cardz TV with Mary Clear Stamps Barks and Bones "Friends Furever"
VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
Black Embossing Powder
Queen and Co Pearls Nightfall, 2 Large
Mounting Tape

I saw these images and immediately thought of my granddaughter, Gianna and my dog, Cobi. I HAD to put them together!! I don't think you can see it in the photo, but "Cobi" is single mounted to give it a little more depth. (Looks much better in person!) The "Friends Furever" is heat embossed and I must say, I really really like the way it turned out. Guess I'll be using this technique in the future.

Thanks for stopping by.

Favorite Pet

Pin It


At Die Cuttin' Diva's the challenge is to make a card with your favorite pet on it. Well, first of all, my favorite pet is a dog! (hands down...don't even have to think about it!)  I have had some really wonderful doggies over the years...right now, we have two sweethearts.

However with that said, my friend and neighbor's father just loss his companion yesterday. As you can imagine, they are all devastated. I made two cards for her...one for her father and one for the vet that treated them so well.

Here they are:

Animals can really be a big part of your life. I don't know what I would do without my babies. And although I don't feel as though you can ever replace the loss of one, I feel that you can make more room in your heart to love another. 

My sister-in-law sent this to my other sister-in-law via Facebook, and I would like to share it with you...

I think I'll give my sweethearts a big hug right now....

Have a great rest of the day...Thanks for stopping by! (Leave a comment)

Happy Tails To You

This is Challenge #3 for the CardzTV Design Team. Our challenge was "The 3 R's" (Make a card for any occasion using one or all of the 3 R's...Ribbon, Rhinestones or Rick Rack).

My card:

and the inside:

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

Materials:
Cardstock: Brown, Cream and Patterned Paper
Cricut Cartridge Paper Pups Happy, page 106 (Circle Base)
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Barks and Bones "Happy Tails To You!"
Ribbon
Queen and Co Rhinestones Snowflake, 6 Small
1 Heart Rhinestone Crystal
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Dog
Super Giant Punch Circle
Brown Pigment Ink

I used two of the three...Ribbon and Rhinestones. The Rick Rack I had just wouldn't have looked right...lol. And yes, I know I could have made some, (from any of the different carts that have that image), but I didn't really think it needed it.

As soon as I looked at the different stamp choices I had, (14 choices in the Barks and Bones Clear Stamps),"Happy tails to you!" jumped out at me to use with the Paper Pups image. They were made for each other...lol. Don't you think so too?

Now don't forget that Mary is giving away a stamp set, so make sure you enter at CardzTV. The challenge runs Jan 13th, 14th and 15th, so get your card in soon.

Hope you liked my card...leave me a comment...I would love to hear from you. Thanks!

Sympathy Card

Last week, my friend's dog started acting a little off. She took him to the vet and they determined that he was really sick. The family made that oh-so-hard decision and on Monday night, Romeo was not in pain any longer. Knowing how it feels to loss an animal that you care so much for, (actually a big part of the family), I thought I would make a sympathy card for her. 

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

Materials:

Cardstock: White, Black and Patterned Paper

Cricut Cartridge Paper Pups Angel Dog, page 117 (Base and Solid Base)

Fiskars All Year Greetings Clear Stamps, "With Sympathy"

CardTV with Mary Barks and Bones Clear Stamps, "Dogs Leave Paw Prints On Your Heart!"

Mounting Tape

Black Marker (To draw a heart just below the wings)

Romeo was a nutty, cute Pomeranian who was black and white with a black heart on his back...hence, the name. I know he will be missed by his family.
