moxie fab tuesday trigger

 

It's time for another Tuesday trigger!!  This weeks trigger was this luscious candy bar picture courtesy of Julie Masse.  
I am totally lovin all that pink goodness!! Here is what I came up with...........




I wish I would have had more time this week to play but I managed to come up with this pink concoction to add to the mix. I used the new silk ribbon from papertrey ink to wrap around my card. Let me say that this ribbon is perfect for this sort of thing. I used sweet blush, hibiscus & raspberry fizz  card stock for the hearts and then glittered 'em up. The smooches is from the say it in style and is stamped in hibiscus as is the petal power background.
Well I'm off to the next paper craftin' project!!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

cps 153

 

This weeks card positioning systems sketch is sponsored by papertrey ink so you know I had to play along.
Here is my take........





I used all papertrey ink goodness once again and kept it sweet & simple. I am such a pink girl and when Nichole did her leaves in pink on one of the sneaks this last week I had to try it. I LOVE pink leaves!!! I will definitely be doing this more.
I am off to clean up my mess...
As always thanks for looking and have a great day!!

papertrey ink's Dt Favorites Color Challenge

It's day 9 of the Papertrey ink third anniversary celebration and the contest for today is another color challenge. The challenge is to pick one the favorite colors of the design team. I picked Debbie's colors mainly because these are my very fav right now. Love, love, love berry sorbet, aqua mist and spring moss together.
This is what I came up with..........

 

The blooming button bits set is one of my very favorites and I just loved how Betsy pierced the inside of her flower that she did a week or so ago so I had to try it. It really does give it that little extra something. I used the petal power for the background on the berry sorbet card..... love the petal power!!!! 
I am off to finish up my cps sketch so I'll catch you later.....

papertrey ink paint by numbers challenge

 
Here it is day eight in the papertrey ink third anniversary celebration! Every day has been exciting as there has been new product announcements, contests & challenges. The latest challenge is the paint by numbers challenge. You are to make a card using the sketch provided and your assigned palette which goes by the beginning letter of your pti username.   Since my user name starts with an "L" this is my palette...........




and this is what I came up with.........



I must admit that the terracotta tile thru me off a bit but I think I managed it okay. Once I got going it was hard to just settle on one design!! I ended up making a few cards with this color combo... I think I like it! 
In the photo my raspberry fizz looks more hibiscus... don't know what happened there... but irl it is definitely raspberry fizz!
Hope you all play with this challenge too.... it really was alot of fun!!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

papertrey ink emboss resist challenge

Second post for the day..... I know...SHOCKER!!!

Well I had to play along with this challenge. I haven't used the emboss resist technique for awhile so this was good to dust off the ole' heat gun:)
This is what I came up with........

 

This card turned out a little brighter than I expected...
I stamped the text background in smokey shadow on vintage cream card stock. I then stamped the damask image in versa mark and used clear embossing powder. I inked over it with hibiscus ink. I stamped the leaves from turning a new leaf  in new leaf, cut out and clear embossed to give it shine. The sentiment is from the through the trees set. The ribbon is the new silk ribbon from papertrey... I just colored over it with one of my copic markers to best match the color of the hibiscus. The punch is everfervance (not sure if I spelled that right!!) from fiskars. The butterflies are Martha's!
Go on over to Nichole's blog to check out the challenge.

Have a great day!

lovey-dovey challenge

 

Happy Friday!! Here is my submission for the challenge that was issued on the cards blog last week. The challenge was to make a lovey-dovey card but not to use red or pink. At first I was like "how am I supposed to make a lovey card with out pink??"  Who cares about red because those of you that have been reading my blog for awhile know that red is not my favorite color :) So I had these love birds ready to go and thought "lets try aqua and spring moss and see what happens." And this card is what happened!! The only thing that I don't really like about it is the ink distressing on the edge. I should of just left it. Oh well,, you just never know if you're not going to like it until you do it, right?
so once again I used all papertrey ink goodness except for the heart pins which are making memories. I used four different stamp sets with this one ... christmas friends for the birds.. I mean aren't those just the cutest birds ever!! They are the only reason I even bought the set! The scroll is from the vintage labels set, the sentiment from the simple valentine set and the background is the diamonds. I punch the heart from martha's heart punch out of october afternoon paper and glittered it up. And yes I am having fun with my glitter 
lately :) 

Bye for now...

pti valentine swap

 

Hi-ya all! Just wanted to pop in from my busi-ness to post a card I did for Ingrid on the papertrey ink forum's valentine swap. I was so glad that Ingrid took a picture as I was so excited to get it in the mail I forgot to take one!!
Everything is from papertrey ink. I even used the new petal power for the pink background paper. I think it is going to be a go to background for me for awhile:)
I'm off to try and finish up a card I am doing for this weeks challenge over on the cards blog.  

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!!!

moxie fab tuesday trigger

Hello all! I was excited this week because Cath is back from CHA and we have a new Tuesday Trigger to play with .........


Cute, wouldn't you say? So here is my take.....


I was obviously in a glitter kind a mood when making this :) I used a rectangle spellbinders die to emboss the middle of the card. Then I applied score-tape around the outside edge and added prisma glitter. I used a heart punch from stampin up and punched out a few hearts from some october afternoon scraps. The scroll-y thing in the middle is from papertrey ink's vintage labels set, stamped with a glue pad and glittered. The sentiment is from the heart prints sentiments set and stamped in pure poppy.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!!
