Hello Friends! It's time for a Cardz TV challenge. Mary has revamped her challenges a little and they're so easy to join with an Anything Goes theme, however you must incorporate any of Mary's Cardz TV Stamps into your project. The hardest kind of cards to make, for me, are those with a manly theme. I have a son, four son-in-laws and seven grandsons so it's always a challenge to produce cards for them. This time around I used Cardz TV You're The Man and Cardz TV Farmyard Funnies for my sentiments. My funny cow image came from the Cricut Birthday Bash cartridge. I'm sure it's just me, but I thought this was hilarious when it all came together. I started with a kraft cardstock base and added two rectangular mats in a dark brown and diamond pattern. Then I cut the mats to sit the cow on from metal dies. I embossed the top mat with an embossing folder from Darice with a similar diamond pattern as the paper. The day I was making this I could not get my Cricut Air to work so I got out my old, original Cricut Expression and did it the old fashioned way by plugging in the cartridge. I, personally, think that the old way is best. I do not like having to connect to my computer and do everything through Cricut Design space. So glad I hung onto my old machine, just for a day like this. After my cow was assembled I diecut a square to stamp my sentiment and placed it in his hooves as though he was holding a sign. Then I stamped the "That's No Bull" sentiment onto an oval diecut and placed it below the cow. I hope this card gives my son a little chuckle for his birthday. I better get busy making cards as we have a lot of family birthdays this month. I need a card for my daughter-in-law, a son-in-law and a grandson.
I hope you'll play along with this Cardz TV challenge and link your card over on the Cardz TV blog for a chance to win some Cardz TV Stamps. You have two weeks to get a card made as the challenge ends on May 19th. Have fun!
