It's Your Birthday?

Hello Cardz TV Gallery Fans, Brenda here from Friends Craftin with Friends and it is my turn to share a project with you today. I have a two birthday cards that are exactly the same except where I placed my sentiment and embellishment. Let's face it, we all need birthday cards for our stash. My card today is one that I saw on Pinterest and your can find it here. This gal is the queen of CAS and I adore all of her cards.  So you can see it is a CAS card and so easy make. Now I have two more birthday cards to add to my birthday book. Recipe is at the end of this post. Thanks for visiting today and be sure to always come back each day to see what inspiration the other Cardz TV Gallery designers have for you. I promise you won't be sorry and you will be inspired to use those Cardz TV Stamp Sets!

Tulip Time

Hello, Crafty Friends! It's Jeri here today, from Bug n' Me Creations with a fun spring card. Spring is definitely my favorite season. I love seeing all the flora and fauna coming to life. For my card today I used Cardz TV Stamps Think Spring stamp set. My papers are from My Mind's Eye. I created a little scene with a few dies (umbrella, boots, clouds and tulip). I cut the puddle free-hand and embossed it with a wood grain embossing folder to give some ripples of texture. I added the tulip to look as though it was growing out of the boot and stamped the sentiment on one of the clouds. Thanks for stopping by and remember you can see a new creations daily right here Monday-Saturday. You'll always find plenty of inspiration for ways to use Cardz TV Stamps. In case you haven't visited lately there are two new stamp sets in the SHOP-Simple Thoughts and Home Grown.

Artist Trading Cards

Hi everyone, Maria here from Maria Lina's Creative Designs. For todays project I decided I wanted to make some Artist Trading Cards using Cardz TV stamps. I wanted to show how you can take Mary's stamps and make them work for any kind of project you might want to make, beyond your usual cards and paper projects.

 

For those of you who don't know, an artist trading card measures 3 1/2 x 2 1/5 and you can create anything you want on them. They are called artist trading cards, because they are meant to be traded with another artist's cards. 

 

I did join a challenge which was to make 5 of these and then Abandon them in 5 different locations, taking pictures of where I left them... something new to me, but thought it would be fun to do.

 

All and all, I had a great time making these and I especially loved to show how versatile Cardz TV stamps can be!

 

Enjoy...

 

 

Have a great day!!!



Card Organization

Hello crafty peeps, I hope you are having a fabulous Saturday. Brenda here from Friends Craftin' with Friends. Today I have a two or three parter for you. I will bring you half of my project this Saturday and then next Saturday I hope to finish it up and show you the finished product. I don't know about you but I'm always late with my birthday cards that get mailed out. It's really been bugging me so I thought I'd make a book to place my finished cards in. With each month having a pocket for those month's birthday's, anniversaries, etc. Maybe this will help me get my greetings out to my loved ones on time. Hey stranger things have happened!! lol Besides it can't hurt to try, right?! So I sat down and designed on paper what I wanted to do. I figured I would keep my pages 8 1/2 x 11 inches and I would have two months on one piece of card stock, and I knew each month would have to have a pocket to hold the cards. Next I would need a place to write each month's dates on and whether it is a birthday or anniversary, etc...So I planned that out in Microsoft Word to be printed later and added to the pages. I got my pages assembled and started putting my papers on each month. I used The Paper Studio "All Seasons" paper from Hobby Lobby. I cut out my months with Designer Calendar Cricut cartridge along with the shadow. I took a 1/2 inch strip of white paper and stamped sentiments from Card TV Stamps. Some you will see don't have any stamping on it, that is because I don't have any stamps for that month. I will have to be ordering them from Mary to finish my stamping. Now what I didn't plan on was my binding when I stamped my sentiments. So some of my sentiments on the left hand side might get a hole punched in it. I plan on binding all my pages along with a front and back cover with my Cinch. I may or may be adding some additional decorations/embellishments to my pages as I go along. So this might turn into a three parter, so I hope I don't bore you!! I have Jan. - June for you today. This is just the page with the paper and sentiments done. The embellishments haven't been added yet, and it hasn't been bound. The Cardz TV Stamps used on today's pages are: Sugar Rush, St. Patrick's Day, Easter Punnies, Easter Blessings, and Think Spring. 

I hope to see you back next Saturday to see this more done on this card organization. I also hope this has inspired you to make a card organization book for yourself! And as always, your comments warm my heart so, so thank you for them. Crafty hugs, Brenda
