Cardz TV Card Challenge #3 - Make a Card using a Fun Fold

Hello everyone! It's time for Cardz TV Challenge #3. This challenge is to make a fun fold card, e.g., box card, easel card, s-fold, etc. I made this cute little easel shaker card for my son's fiancée for her birthday, which was October 6. They have a bulldog and I thought this was perfect for her card. Love the fall colors with it too. For my card I used the Cardz TV stamp set Critter Punnies. The cute bulldog is a freebie (Fall Bulldog) from Deedees Digis. I got the inspiration for this fall bulldog image from Craftypaws blog.

Cardz TV Challenge #1 - Make a Card Using 3 Colors Only, Your Choice

Hello everyone! Welcome back for a fun challenge at Cardz TV. This challenge is to make a card using 3 colors only, your choice of colors. White and black may also be used, and don’t count as part of your 3 colors. My color choices are ivory, rose, and brown. Me and my hubby are celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary today, so I thought it would be an appropriate challenge to make him an anniversary card. We both love our coffee in the morning and both like the same flavor cream. He's going to get a kick out of this card. The sentiment "You're the cream in my coffee!" from Sweet Sayings goes perfectly with the coffee and cream Cricut cuts. I stamped the adorable faces from the new stamp set Let's Face It. For the inside stamps I used "I love you with all my heart!" from Heart to Heart , "Happy Anniversary" from Happy Days, and cute little heart borders are from the new stamp set Basic Borders.
