Cardztv Sketch Challenge #4

Mary has a new sketch and
I love it so much, this is the 2nd
time I've used it!


I love pink, black and lime green together!
Those colors just make me HAPPY, so I thought it was
fitting to use the sentiment "Get your happy on" from
the Cardztv Stamp Set Mixed Messages.

As you can see I used a scallop circle and die cut
for the bottom image.  I had just gotten in my
monthly ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon so 
I used that beautiful green.

I love this 8x8 paper pad from the Paper Studio
with it's all white/black pages.

Mary had an instructional video on her site last week
that showed you how to use your Cricut Design Space
to "flatten" images and print them out on a circle
or a rectangle or really any shape you want.
This was my first attempt and I can assure you
it won't be my last.  If you go back to the Cardztv Blog,
you can see the video where she creates this lovely
card with different papers but uses the same
Circuit cartridge.

Okay now it's time to get your
crafty side on!  Link up on Mary's
site for a chance to win a set of
Cardztv stamps.

You have until March 23, 2017
to add your creation!

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks A Latte!

It's time for another challenge
with the Sketch Team from Cardztv Stamps.

Mary has introduced a couple of new sketches
and if you haven't viewed her videos on how to 
use them, make sure and take a look.


I couldn't wait to use her new one.

I am a coffee lover so it was fun
to break out the Brew Ha Ha Stamp
set for this fun little card.

This card would be the perfect one
to use when you are giving a Starbucks or
Panera Gift card!

Make sure and go to Mary's blog to
gather more inspiration and then link
up your card.  You could be the winner
of a stamp set by Cardztv!

Thanks for stopping by!

I freakin' love sketches!!!

I know I get a little carried away
but I truly love sketches!
I used Cardztv Sketch 7 for this
Valentines card.


Instead of the two squares on the front
I used two hearts cut out with my 
My Creative Time's dies.

I love how it turned out!

Join us for this challenge.  Beginning on 
February 10, link up your Valentine Card using
any of Cardztv sketches.  You have until
February 23 to link up your creation.

Good Luck!!

Happy New Year!

The Cardztv Design Teams have been
on vaca but we are back and ready to
get your crafty mojo kicking into high gear!

Today I get to share with you another Sketch Challenge
using Cardztv Kit and Caboodle Sketch # 17!  I love this 
sketch!  I always do a little extra matting on mine, but you
don't have to - just follow Mary's measurements to make
a great card.  This challenge is to use ANY sketch (I just 
picked her newest one) and make a birthday card.

I love yellow and black, don't you???

I used Cardztv Stamp Set Sugar Rush
for my sentiment.

Here's the side view which shows a little more
of the black extra layer which really sets these colors
off.  Hum - I'm ready for cupcakes!


I was in the mood to color, so I used
a die cut for my little cupcakes and even die cut
the 1 inch squares because I like the stitched edges.
Easy peasy and oh so cute!

Okay now it's your turn!
Join us by posting your creation to
Cardztv.  You have until February 9th, 2017.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love sketches!!!

I realized tonight that I have
not posted and shared my recent
project of making cards.  I saw a video on
Youtube that showed you how to use sketches and 
a single 6x6 paper pad and some colored card stock
to create cards.  This person uses up the entire pad
making cards and ends up with hardly nothing.

I WAS INTRIGUED!!!
So I got to work.  Here are just a couple
of the cards I made.


So far I have 26 cards made from this paper pad
and I still have 3 full size 6x6 sheets and my 
scrapes.  Here is a picture of the sketches that used.


I will share more when I finish, but I challenge you to take
the plunge!

Happy Crafting!
