Moxie Fab - Tuesday Trigger-Square Vase of Roses



My take on the Tuesday Trigger- a beautiful glass vase of roses is this!

I actually started out with a square card and a stamp with more roses in a vase, but that card is not going to make it for Tuesday :o(
I will have to share it with you later. This card was finished and it does have roses on it in various shades of pink~ kinda close?

Moxie Fab - Tuesday Trigger-Easter Eggs




Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your Easter. It was certainly a week to reflect and Thank God for all His many Blessings.

I wanted to post my Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger card before it is time for this week's~ I have all good intentions of getting these challenges posted on the day they come out, but....Yikes it is Monday already!

Last Tuesday' s inspiration of Glazed Ceramic Easter Eggs is from Alicia Thelin. How beautiful are these colors? I made an Easter card that reflects the bright colored eggs (however, I just had to sneak a few pastels in there too~just to make myself comfortable :o)

I started out stamping the bunny on white cardstock and thinking I would just leave him white with the brown outline...then decided to color him in with glitter :) Earlier, I stamped the huge 'Greenery' background stamp over the blue striped paper (it fits 4 times on a 12x12 sheet), cut is down to fit half of my card and cut a circle in it for the bunny to peek through. I stamped the colored eggs and cut each one out to hide them in the grass, which is two different colored layers.

You can click on the card for more detail, and as always, thank you for stopping by!

My card~
Cardstock: Base is Marble Pink Parchment from Xerox; white and two shades of green (grass) are from K&Company; the blue stripe if from Scrapbooking and Paper Crafting Supplies at Target; the eggs were stamped on various scraps in my stash.

Moxie Fab - Picking up the pieces & Card Patterns #57



Happy Sunday to you!
Hope your weekend is going well.



I have a card to post and think it covers two challenges out there.
Moxie Fab's Challenge is using scraps and paper piecing into paper crafted projects.
Check it out all the great entries here~ http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/03/picking-up-pieces-challenge.html

The sketch from Card Patterns is pretty and simple ~ http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/ I will use this one over again!

My Card has only one stamp (Imagine That) on it which I inked (Chocolate Brown from Stampabilities) on four different patterned papers (some from Bo Bunny and others from my stash), cut out different parts (sky, trees, sheep, house w/fence) and paper pieced with Scotch Clear Glue. The Base card stock is pink from Xerox Parchment.

Embellishments: pink ribbon is from IQ Accessories; Pink, Waterfall, Lime Green and Crystal glitter from Stickles; corner rounder from EK Success; small scalloped edges cut on my Fiscars Paper Trimmer; words from my computer.

Moxie Fab - Diggin' on Doilies and Lace


Happy Monday ~

I am posting a card on Moxie Fab's Doilies and Lace Challenge. I do not usually use doilies on my cards but I do use a lot of lace~however, this is my entry.
I have lots of different size doilies cause I like to line cake and cookie dishes with them when I bake for family and friends. I took the smallest size and cut off the scalloped rim to give a more lace-like illusion. The base card is embossed with Cuttlebug's "Textile" folder (lacey enough, I thought) The cupcake is from Hero Arts, frosted with Stickles glitter and a red button as the cherry is tied on with a bow.

My Card:
The Bird Stamp is from Inkadinkado "Patterned Birds & Bugs " clear stamp set. It was inked in Ranger ink "Coffee" and colored in with different colored Stickles. The background stamp is from Hero Arts "Four Leaf Grid" inked on kraft card stock with "Coffee" ink really reminds me of the wicker chair. The glittery branch is from Making Memories the the silk flowers are from Michael's. As always, thank you so much for stopping by~I love seeing what you think :o!

Moxie Fab - Tuesday Trigger-Lovely on the Green



Hi there, hope your Friday evening is going well. Just got home from eating out and wanted to post the card I made earlier for this week's Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger. I wasn't sure about entering this week and can't say this is my favorite shade of green. I know for sure I don't have any stamps to match the beautiful toile print or gingham ribbon... but after searching deep in my "stash of goodies" I found this strip of wallpaper I picked up, oh maybe 5 or 6 years ago when it almost made a border in one of my guest bedrooms and thought "This could work"!

I punched an oval shape of the print, backed it with dark green and used about 10 Adhesive Tabs to adhere it to another piece of wallpaper and then to the base card. The bow is really puffy, so I used several Mini Glue Dots to get it to stick onto the card...same process for the button ~ won't be mailing this one :o) You can click on the image for a better detail view.

I was pretty pleased with the outcome, what do you think?

My Card~
Cardstock: Off White base card and dark green is from AC Moore
Stamps & Ink: none
Tools: 3 1/2" Scallop Oval from Marvy; Corner Rounder from EKSuccess
Embellishments: Off White Satin ribbon from AC Moore; Vintage Button from Dress It Up
