Teacher Treats - Cardztv 3D Challenge

I have a heart for teachers!  Love them!

They have to have patience beyond normal and do

what many of us moms could never do!

Here in Indiana/Michigan, our teachers and kids

still have a summer break of about 2 1/2 months.

With the Cardztv 3D challenge, I decided instead of a

"treat", I would make a mini album and

give to a well deserving teacher.  This way they can chronicle

their summer fun and have the album already

put together.

Here are three snapshots but look below

as I've added in a quick video showing you more

detail and the exact Cardztv Stamp set that I used.

Here's the video!

Okay, now it's your turn to make a

gift for a teacher!  Pick someone who could

really use a pick me up!  They will love their 

treat!  Don't forget to click on all

of my Cardztv Design Team Sisters links!

They are all so talented!

Thanks for stopping!

Easter 3D treats!

On my Instagram feed the other day

I saw this cute little

bunny die that was too cute for 

words and I knew I had to have him.

He is from Lil' Inkers.  He cut beautifully

in my Cuttlebug and just so you know, I have

about 70 of these to make for work, but

I'm sharing with you now.

Isn't he the cutest????

I did use a Peachy Keen face, but

there are faces that come

in the die set.

Here's a basket FULL of bunnies!

I used two sets of Cardztv Stamps, 

EASTER PUNNIES & GOING IN CIRCLES

I used Easter Punnies on the banner tag

and Going in Circles under the candy.

Hop on over to Cardztv Stamps

to pick up your new stamps today!

Now you have until March 31 to link

up your own 3D Easter box or goodie bag

on Mary's site.

I can't wait to see what you create!

SPRING! I can't wait!

Hi all you Cardztv fans!

I am excited about Spring and even with

snow on the ground, I know it's coming.

The 3D Challenge for this week is

a spring home decor product and I'm so

excited to show you mine!

I used the Cardztv St. Patrick's Day stamp set

to create my tissue box cover for spring.

I cut the largest saying apart, placing it

exactly where I wanted it to go

and divided it into two panels.

Here's the first panel.

Here's the second Panel.

I added in some shamrock die cuts

and sequins and my project is done!

Look at this awesome set!

I apologize for my dark photos!

No sun here in Indiana (we have snow and ice).

Make sure you add your 3D spring home decor

project over on Cardztv.blogspot.com.

Thanks for stopping by!

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!
