CardzTV Stamp Challenge "Love In A Jar"

Welcome to another CardzTV Stamp Challenge. This week we are featuring a new stamp set called "Love In A Jar". The challenge will last 2 weeks and Mary will be giving away a set of stamps to the winner...their choice. Bet you have a hard time choosing! 

For some inspiration, I made a birthday card:

Now who couldn't use another birthday card?

Michelle Perkett Studio Digital Image Peppermint Lollipop Stamp

Spectrum Noir Markers

Quickutz Embossing Folder Lines and Dots

Small Circle Punch

White Marker (Each Small Circle is marked with a "M")

Mounting Tape

Black Pigment Ink

I stamped the small jar 3 times, once on clear plastic and twice on white card stock. Next, I fussy cut them all out and colored the jar lids on the white card stock. Next I layered the white small jar, the colored circles (M&M's), the clear small jar (with some mounting tape), just the lid from the second white jar (I cut the lid off the second white card stock jar) and finally the "For You" label. The lollipop was cut out from my Silhouette Cameo and then colored with Spectrum Noir Markers. It is hard to see but the yellow background square is embossed with the "Lines and Dots" embossing folder. 

Hope you liked my card...please check out the other designers projects as well as all of Mary's stamp sets (click here).

imagine what you could do...

A Different Look

Just a quick post right now. Just by turning the card and using different papers, you can change the look. The directions are exactly the same as in my earlier post.

I hope this inspires you to try a variation...I can only imagine what you could do...

Monogram Notecards

I know it's not even the end of summer yet, but I always start thinking about Christmas this time of year. I thought this would be a great gift for someone.

I used the Cricut cartridge Tie the Knot and cut out six (6) Monogram letters and six (6) Shadow Monogram letter A's. (I only show three of each in this picture). These are cut at 2 1/2". Using the quantity key makes this pretty easy.

For the base of the card, I cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of white cardstock in half (at 5 1/2"). I then folded the cardstock in half at 4 1/4". You actually get two bases out of one sheet. Repeat two (2) more times to get 6 base cards.

Next, cut out six (6) 3 3/4" x 5" rectangles out of white cardstock. Emboss each rectangle with your favorite embossing folder.  There is a blank card on the top left...(clockwise) I used Quikutz Lines and Dots, Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls, Swiss Dots, Spots and Dots, Tiny Mosaic, and Traffic Jam. You may want to use only one folder for all six cards.

Then, I cut out six (6) rectangles 4" x 5 1/4" of cardstock the same color as the shadow monogram. Center and glue to base card. Next, glue the embossed cardstock pieces to the colored cardstock.

(Sorry...The embossing is difficult to see in these photos.) Finally, glue the Monogram letter to it's Shadow and glue to the embossed cardstock.

These photos show all six (6) different note cards.

On the next post, I will show you how I packaged these cards in order to give as a gift.

I hope you are becoming inspired to try something on your own. I would love to hear from you and what you think. Please leave a comment. Hope to hear from you, until then.....imagine what you could do!
