"Just For You" Christmas Gift Card holder

 
Today's challenge at Cardz TV was to make a Christmas gift card holder!
I have to admit, this was NOT my original submission, however, I committed the ultimate crafting sin and put a bottle of water on my craft table with the top loose and before I knew it I must've knocked it over! I didn't even realize it at first until I felt water running down onto my legs that was coming from underneath my laptop!!! I was devastated because not only was my project laying on the table, but many other things that I have been working on "perfecting" and now I am going to have to start all over again.  What bothers me the most was that my niece's drawings were sitting in a pool of water and she made them for me when I moved out of state so I would always think of her! :( I couldn't even try to dry them out because the ink ran and the picture look like one big muddy puddle! :( Well I guess there's no use crying over spilled water sooooo...onto bigger and better things!
 
 
This gift card holder was made with a stamp I dug out of my archives by Sunday International called Anthony and Burt 3 (ABFSO3). I colored it with Copics and Wink of Stella then applied Glossy Accents to the frog and bee's eyes. The background paper is from last year's SU! Designer Series paper line called Season of Style. I used the Pull Strip die from Technique Tuesday to hide the gift card! I love this die because it is a unique way for someone to open their gift card....just pull the tab! :) And last but NEVER least, my sentiment is from the Cardz TV stamp set called "Christmas Critter Captions"! This set is absolutely adorable and is so fun to use!!!
 

 
Thank you all so much for stopping by! Please head over to the Cardz TV blog and check out the other designer's AMAZING projects. They are very inspiring and can give you some great gift card ideas for Christmas which is right around the corner!!!
 
Have a wonderful day!!!

Cardz TV Challenge: "All in our places" Thanksgiving table place cards

 
Welcome to another Cardz TV 3D Challenge Day!
 Today we were asked by Mary to create 3D Thanksgiving
table place cards! I will be replicating this file nine more times
so my sister, her family, and mine all have these at our place
setting for Thanksgiving! I think the kids will really love them!
I am most likely going to add their names on the card as well
after I get a new printer because mine is not working
properly! :( It's always something! HAHA!
 
Recipe:
Cardz TV "Many Thanks" stamp set
 
 
As you can tell by several of my posts, this is a great "go to" set!
I absolutely LOVE it!
 
Be sure to go to see what the rest of the AMAZING
Cardz TV DT designers have created!
 
Have a blessed day!

Fun Folds Challenge

About two weeks ago my sister and her family invited us to stay in their beach house with them for a few days! It was a GREAT mini vacation and time spent with my family that I will always cherish! So fortunately for me this challenge inspired me to create a card which is going to serve two purposes: a Halloween card and a "thank you"! :) Wonder if she'll feel like she is getting ripped off or not? haha!

I have seen this card go by two different names: slider die cut card and slider tag card. The Paper Cut sells a 10 pk in various colors for $5.99 or you can make your own by watching You Tube.

I apologize for the shadows. We have had some rain in the evenings and I work during the day so I was unable to take outside photos. Plus the little vampire is on an Adhesive Spring, AKA
"Action Wobble", so the shadows were hard to avoid! :) I must say my Sizzix Eclips NEVER ceases to amaze me! I could not believe the precision cutting it did on the little vampire's fangs and the bats...tiny feet and ALL!!! :)
Supplies Used:
SU! Real Red and Whisper White cardstock
SU! Blush Blossom cardstock (retired)
SU! Pumpkin Pie cardstock
CTMH Adhesive Springs
Miss Kate Cuttables Vampire SVG file

Please stop by Cardz TV to see the AWESOME projects that the other Design Team Members created for you as well as a chance to win a free set if stamps!
Have a FANGtastic day!!! ;)
