Starts: Fri, Jan 25

Ends: Thurs, Feb 7 @ Noon EST
Prize: 1 set of Cardz TV Stamps 

Here is my project for this challenge: I made a little wall hanging and also a card. I had a lot of fun making them...

This wall hanging was made using a 3" × 3" chipboard and covering it with black cardstock. The pattern paper was from my stash. The flowers are cut from the Artiste Cart from CTMH and are cut in range of sizes from 1-3 inches. Then I used Cardz Tv Stamp set "Encouraging Thoughts"

 

Here is the card. This card is a 5x5. The flowers measures from 1 inch to 4 inches. The flourish is 2 that I welded on the gypsy from the Artiste cart The tag is also from Artiste and I cut the red layer at 2.5 and the white at 2.25 The saying is from Cardz Tv "Greater love" stamp set 

 Here is a close up at the big 4 inch flower.

 

I hope you take the challenge with us over at Cardz Tv.

Until Next time

For my project, I wanted to show you this...
I made this box for christmas. I am going to be putting in little candies in them. I think I might make mints this year and make these boxes to put them in. I cant tell you how easy this box was to fold up and create in a matter of mintues. This is the best cartridge to have I think.

Recipe for project
Box is on page 37 and is cut to fit the page which is about 4 1/2 inches. I used the white dasiy card stock from CTMH.
The tag is also from the Artiste cart and is on page 35 and is cut at 3 inches. Than stamped with the Very Merry Christmas stamp set in Topiary ink color.
The rosette can be found on page 77 and I cut it at 1 inch.
the pattern paper is from DCWV christmas stack.
