Cardztv 3D Valentine's Challenge

I am so excited to be back

from our hiatus over the holidays.

I have wonderful new Cardztv Stamp set to

share with you today and I teamed it up

with some of Mary's earlier stamp sets.

I just love my little mailbox!  It is cut with my Silhouette

and it was so easy!  This set is featuring the LOVE YA set

that has just been released!  I used two of the sentiments

on this project along with a few sentiments from

SNAIL MAIL.  These two sets were the perfect

compliment to each other.

Below is the bare box before I started

decorating it.  I used a few of my favorite

heart dies to cut out a variety of sizes

to use on the mailbox.

I love the flag!!!

Remember those mint Hershey kisses left

over from Christmas?  Well they fit 

perfectly in a bag for my sweet gift!

I couldn't resist decorating the front of

the mailbox.

Every mailbox needs a love note!

I used a rectangular die to cut out

my post card.  Tim Holtz distress inks

did an awesome job of making this

vintage postcard come alive.

I hope you like my Valentine's Gift Box for my

sweetie.  I know he will like it.

Now make sure you head over to the

Cardztv blog and enter your own project

for the chance to win a set of Mary's stamps.

From February 5, 2016 - February 18, 2016

you have a chance to win!  Let's have some fun!

I can't wait to see what you create.

It's a Fun Friday at Timeless Twine and Bella Creationz~

While I love making Mini Albums and

other time consuming things, what I think is

the MOST fun is making a simple card!

Hi! This is Cathy from the Creative Crew

at Timeless Twine & Bella Creationz!

Simple card making is something that is

more than fun to me, it's relaxing.  I don't 

have to think too hard and it seems that everyone

loves the thoughtfulness that goes into a 

handmade card.  I also want to share

my love of simple card making with everyone 

and I think if my projects are too challenging,

people may give up before they start AND they

think "this is too expensive, I'll just go buy a card"

Whoa! Where is the fun in that?

My card only has two layers on top of the card base.

I did add a layer of foam to pop up the tulips, but other

than that, it's a pretty simple card.  My tulips

are embossed with my Cuttlebug and then I chalked them

for a soft look.  I used a sentiment from the 

OH SNAP set from BellaCreationz.

Adding Timeless Twine and Sequins

are almost always a given!

I tried to show you the glitz on the tulips!  I used

my Wink of Stella brush to add a little zip!

When you look at this stamp set you probably

think photo albums, mini albums, project life

but I saw OH SNAP and knew it needed

to be on a card.  I hope you

like my FUN card on this FUN FRIDAY!

Thanks for stopping!

THROWBACK THURSDAY with Timeless Twine & Bella Creationz

Hello!  This is Cathy from Mimis Craft Corner and

I am very excited to share with

you today a card I created using 

Timeless Twine & Bella Creationz products!

For Throwback Thursday, we ask that

you go back to your PAST craft projects and

remake them today with a few twists and turns.

Here is my Throwback from 2012

I LOVE black and white cards, but I also love this

layout.  It's a combination of patterned paper and

an insert at the bottom that I ran through

the Cuttlebug.  The two papers are separated

by a piece of ribbon.  I love this format and could

make this card over and over and it will never be the

same.  Here's my updated card for today:

I added paper from the First Edition Spring Drop paper pad.

I also used my all time fav punch of Martha Stewart to

separate the two layers.

I added some sequins and 

Key Lime Sorbet

Timeless Twine.

The sequins are coming soon to

BellaCreationz!

Keep in mind the Sorbet Collection is

on SALE all month!

Have a wonderful Spring day!

Butterfly card for Cardztv Challenge!

I love butterflies and use 

them frequently on summer cards.

How fun when I realized that Cardztv had a

Designer Challenge just for that!

In looking through my card stash, I didn't

have any sympathy cards and really

needed one to send this week.

I used an embossing folder and 

chalked the images with a finger dauber and

a Q tip.  I added three butterflies using 

a Stampin Up little embossing folder.

My sentiment comes from HEARTFELT WISHES

a stamp set from Cardztv.  I reach for this stamp set

over and over to send encouraging cards!

It's really a must have for all card makers!

Thanks for stopping by and why not get

creative today and make your own butterfly card!

To Die for Wednesday!

Hello!  This is Cathy from
Mimi's Craft Corner and today
is To Die for Wednesday!

For anyone who truly wants to be creative and NOT

depend on a Cricut or Silhouette, die cutting

is for you!  I use a Cuttlebug but the 

Big Shot is on my Wish List.  I reach

for my dies over and over again.  LOVE THEM!

  

It was treat day at my office

and I put these together for my docs!

I made the tags using my Silhouette.

I printed my sentiment first and then

cut them out with the software.

The little "box" the candy sets in

is a die that I use over and over!  It comes

from My Creative Time and it's called

the treat slider.

Here is another variation using the same

box but the tags are cut using metal dies that

I ran through my Cuttlebug.

The Hershey Nuggets are covered

with 1x3 inch patterned paper strips.

I added a plastic bag with the final

touch being Watermelon Sorbet Timeless Twine

 to tie the tag on.

This is such a fun project and is always

appreciated at my office.  With 12 providers

I need to be creative when I want to give them

something.  It always amazes me how

a little paper, stamps, Timeless Twine and

CHOCOLATE make such an

awesome gift.

Have a great day!

Cathy
