Moxie Fab World-Fun with Floss & EBTKS Challenge #10 Fabric

Okay, sometimes it just pays to be a "last minute" challenge addict :-P

I have been messing around with this card for waaaay too many days cause it involved using embroidery floss which I don't have~yeah, I know, how could I not have that!? Had to go to the Fabric store and buy some. No clue what the heck I was going to do with it on a card, I ended up buying eight different colors of those little (what, scanes?). Now I'm all set to create many many more cards with floss! After playing around and wasting a few yards of this stuff, finally thought I should be embroidering on fabric so, I stamped a piece of scrap with that cute little blue bird stamp (which was the cute yellow chick stamp for last week's Tuesday Trigger card :o) I used the purple floss to outline the bird and yellow floss for his feet and beak~but the beak had two parts and I had just about been over this project ... so I pulled the last piece of floss through the front and colored it orange to make it look like the bird was bringing a worm to the party :^)

Before I posted this, I remembered Everything But The Kitchen Sink's Challenge was to incorporate "something around the house" this week~~what are the odds, the "something" would be fabric, huh? Well, it is (whoot whoot!) and here's my entry for that challenge too.

Stamps: "Party" from See D's "Card Wishes"; Bird is from Michael's $1 bin
Tools: "Happy Birthday" embossing folder from Cuttlebug; "Thredding Water" border punch from Fiscar's, Party Hat from McGill punch
Embellishments: Floss from Hancock Fabrics; Glitter Brad and tag from Target; Yellow satin ribbon from Michael's

Moxie Fab - Tuesday Trigger & Olympics of Stamping

This week's Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World is taken straight from the current issue of Stamp It Magazine by Super Stamper Kim Hughes. Check out all the wonderful inspiration there http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/02/tuesday-trigger-inspiration-straight.html

Plus The Olympics of Stamping is going on also. I thought I would enter this card in the "Thank You" category for that challenge too.

I needed a Thank You card for a sweet friend and was totally inspired by the beautiful color combination of yellow, kraft and black. I played around with this design and finally decided on this one. I made my background paper by stamping my single Damask design stamp six times in yellow ink on white card stock. I then scored a line down the center and two lines between each set of two designs. The "Thank You" stamp was inked onto a solid yellow card and cut with a scallop trimmer, then the ribbon was threaded thru two small punched holes...those teeny tiny pearls are separate and they were very carefully :) glued on the bottom. I was pleased with the outcome ~~ what do you think?

some FUN from Kim Hughes

OK, one last fast post for this evening.
Kim Hughes has a challenge at http://paperhugs.typepad.com/paper_hugs/ . The deadline is tonight at midnight and the challenge is to go to papercrafts connection blog and pick anything there as inspiration for a card and she wants you to mail it to someone. I love the colors and gorgeous cards ~ especially the very talented Debbie Olson's beautiful "Gifts of Spring", on the cover of this month's Paper Crafts Magazine so that was my inspiration for this card I am sending to my friend up North on the first day of Spring!

Happy Valentine's Day to ya...
Hope you are having a SWEET Heart of a Day!

I am adding this post to MFW's Tuesday Trigger which is inspired by the beautiful pink, red and white goodies in the photo submitted by Julie Masse. Guess the candy in the picture inspired me the most, so I went with a sweet treat of a strawberry frosting cupcake on pink cardstock, with a pink ribbon tied in a knot instead of a bow~~thinking this would be okay for a masculine card~~maybe not :oP

My Card~
Cardstock: Pink base from American Crafts
Stamp: Inque Boutique's Party Cupcakes inked on white and mauve card stock and cut out
Embellishments: Red Stickles on the cherry, Copper Stickles on the sprinkes; Mauve satin ribbon (scrap piece from my stash); heart shaped paper clip from my local Craft Store

Moxie Fab - Let's Get Sassy #3

Can someone tell me how many of something is considered an addiction :o? This is my third card posted on MFW's Anne Taintor Challenge~and I'm afraid there are no signs of me stopping here! LOL

These are such fun cards to make, I am stock piling them and know they will get used (especially for my BFF's).

You can click on the photo for more detail or if you are having a problem reading Anne's funny sentiment (copied off her web site).

Have a good night all, I'm going to watch some Olympic competitions.

Moxie Fab - Let's Get Sassy

This is my second card inspired by the Sassy Miss Anne Taintor. As I said on my first post for MFW's Challenge, I found these wonderful magazines "Reminisce" at my local library and the photos are just screaming out for me to make more of these funny cards ~ soooo, here's number two.
