Happy Father's Day - Cardz TV Stamps

Happy Friday everyone!  It is challenge day over at Cardz TV!  I love these days, because I play with Mary's amazing stamps - I can always find the perfect sentiment, not matter the challenge!  Today Mary challenged us to create a  FATHER'S DAY PROJECT.  Here is what I came up with:

My first project is a card I made for my son to give my husband.  I used a freebie from SVG Cutting Files.  It was the first time I used one of their files, it cut really easily :)  The paper is a mix of SU and Recollections.  I doodled around with my Sakura Jelly Roll pens.  The stamps are both from Cardz TV's "You're the Man" sentiment set.  You can buy your own HERE!

 On to my second creation for today:

This is a little tag that I made for my Dad for Father's Day.  My whole life, Dad wore a shirt and tie almost every day - he has been retired for YEARS and still wears one almost daily.  This seemed the perfect thing for him...  This is a free SVG file from My Scrap Chick.  She has a new freebie every week, and this was last weeks.  I created the shadow on my Cameo and voila - a cute little tag.  The paper is mostly Recollections except the pattern paper, which is old Creative Memories.  The sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps "Happy Days".  This is one of my go to sets of Mary's, I can always find a sentiment that is perfect for my card on it, it is really versatile.

Our challenge starts today and finshes Thursday June 13th at noon EST.  Hop on over to Cardz TV, see what all my talented DT sisters came up with to inspire you, and play along with us.  One lucky person will win a set of Cardz TV Stamps of their very own.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Rain or Shine

Happy Tuesday everyone!  It is my day to share a project over at the Exploring Cricut blog.  Here is what I have today:

Cute, isn't it?  The cloud is from Simply Charmed and the sun is from Doodlecharms.  The cardstock is all from Recollections.  The patterned paper is digi paper that I downloaded.  I will have to do a search to find out from where...  I doodled around with my Sakura Jelly Roll and the ribbon is from Michaels.  The perfect sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps "Heart to Heart".  You can buy your own HERE.

Don't forget that every day, each one of the designers has a Cricut creation to share with you.  We hope to inspire you to explore your Cricut cartridges and have lots of fun doing it!!  Be sure to pop by the blog everyday and be prepared to be amazed!

Big Hugs!! PPT and PDE Challenges

Happy Monday everyone!      

It's challenge day over at Paper Playtime and Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges.  I decided to make a card that fit both challenges.  The challenge at Paper Playtime is to make a project showcasing 2 or more RIBBONS and the challenge over at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges is to use FOAM TAPE!!  Here is what I came up with:

Isn't she cute??  She is cut from Playtime and she is on a mat from Elegant Edges.  The paper is a mix of Stampin Up and Recollections.  Her cutie face is from Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed Kids.  I used 2 ribbons on her.  The skinny pink bows in her hair are from Michaels, as is the light pink ribbon that wraps the around the background paper, between the patterned paper and the cardstock.  I doodled around with my Sakura Jelly Roll pen.  The perfect sentiment stamp is from Cardz TV Stamps "Encouraging Thoughts" stamps set.  You can find your own HERE.
