CardzTV Challenge #15 "Bling It Up!"

If you are looking for the Digi Haven Challenge "Harvest", click here (after 6 am).

I haven't been around lately..."popped" my rib (I know, weird huh?), resting, vacation (sort of), re-"popping" my rib, more resting, loss of mojo (in everything), Memorial Services, etc, etc, etc. and in the spare time, I've been trying to organize the craft space. Trying to get back into crafting more, so wish me luck.

Here at CardzTV, the challenge is "Bling It Up!" Use any theme or colors, just Bling It Up!

Here is my card:

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

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Green and Green Foil
Cricut Cartridge Christmas Cheer Holly, page 112 (Blackout Base)
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps, Holly Jolly "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!"
Sizzix Embossing Folder Snow Globe (go figure, I would have thought it was called "Holly")
Queen and Co Rhinestones, Classy Red 3 Large and 18 Small and Shamrock Green 2 Small
Green Pigment Ink
Mounting Tape

Now this is a stretch for me...I sometimes like a little bling, but this is way more than I EVER use, (lol) but I like they way it turned out! What do you think?

Hope you join the challenge. Mary is giving away a set of her stamps to the winner. Challenge runs from September 21, through the 27th. Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to check out the other designer's projects.

I would love to hear what you think. (Please leave a comment.)

CardzTV DT Challenge #14 "Happy Holidays - Pick One!"

If you are looking for Digi Haven Challenge "Fins and/or Feathers", click here.

The CardzTV Challenge is "Happy Holidays - Pick One!" I just love Christmas. Don't you? Christmas is one of my most favorite holidays!

For this challenge, I made a card:

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

Materials:

Cardstock: Red, Green, Brown, Yellow and Patterned Paper

Cricut Cartridge Christmas Cheer Tree 1, page 88 (Shadow Base and Shift Base)

Cricut Cartridge Happy Haunting Frame 10, page 47 (Phrase Shift)

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Holly Jolly "Rocking Around The Christmas Tree"

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Herringbone

ActionWobble

Clear Glitter

Queen and Co Pearls, Grass Green and Classy Red (2 Large Red and Green, 2 Medium Red and Green and 2 Small Red and 1 Small Green)
Black Pigment Ink

Mounting Tape

The tree is on an Action Wobble...I couldn't get a picture showing the wobbling.  :(  It looks really great going back and forth. The star is glittered to give a little spark and the tree is embossed to give some texture. I thought the sentiment was perfect for the wobbling tree...lol.

Don't forget to check out the other design team projects. And also, Mary is giving away a set of stamps (your choice) to the winner of the challenge. Isn't that so nice and fun? She has some really fantastic stamp sets!

Thanks for stopping by...please leave a comment. (I would love to hear your thoughts.)

I've also been planning a cookie exchange for December. (You'll see the invitations soon). So with all this Christmas around me, "visions of sugarplums" were dancing in my head...

Creations With Christina Challenge #5

Here we are at Challenge #5...Create a Christmas Gift Card or Gift Tag.  I thought these would go nicely on  a gift:

They measure 2 1/4" x 2 1/4".  I also made the envelopes (in back).

Have a couple extra minutes before the next challenge...better straighten up my space so I can find what I need...I have stuff all over the place. Do you craft like that too? In the meantime, imagine what you could do...
