moxie fab tuesday trigger

Hi all! Just wanted to pop in to share my card for this weeks Moxie Fab Tuesday trigger. The inspiration is this card from Heidi Van Larr...........................................

This card is featured in the new go to sketches special publication from paper crafts. If you don't have this issue yet you need to get it. So many awesome sketches and inspiration. I have not been able to put mine down.

Here is my take.........................................

I kept to the colors mostly and the back ground I used one of Paper trey ink's new impression plate to mimic the plaid. I also used some older October Afternoon die cuts from the "Cherry Hill" line. That was my favorite line until I received my new "Go fly a kite" this week.... yummy!!

There you have it friends ....another challenge done!!!

It's tuesday trigger time and this lovely chair is the trigger for the week. I had my card done and then realized I used hot pink instead of red!!! It really looked more pink on my monitor but as I was getting ready to upload all of a sudden it looked red! I can't figure that one out so I had to go back to the drawing board and this is what I came up with............

This card looks way better in real life. I am having problems with my photo software and so all my pics look a little off . 

I used all papertrey ink goodness on this card. I will try and get back later to add the deets at the bottom as I am getting ready to go to work.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

moxie fab tuesday trigger sweet on spring

I am so glad that I had the chance to play this week in the moxie fab tuesday trigger. I have been sooo busy the last couple of weeks that I didn't get the chance to play at the last two triggers :( But when I saw the picture for this weeks trigger I said oo la la this one is for me:)

Here is the trigger...........

 

Can you say HAPPY!! I love this picture and the colors just scream at me because they are my favorites ..... aqua mist, sweet blush, berry sorbet, summer sunrise a bit of hibiscus, a tad bit of orange zest and let's not forget a wee bit of spring moss. Total Moxie fab!!!!

So when I saw this picture I KNEW I had to make these crepe paper flowers that have been on my to do list. 

Problem - I live in the sticks and the only crepe paper I can find is white and a few primary pastels that were not matching what I wanted. 

So what does this girl do to fix the problem??? I dyed the white with the ink colors I wanted:) It takes a bit of time but I got the exact colors I was looking for. 

So here is what I came up with............

This card totally makes me happy. I love how these flowers turned out. I just ran about 15 to 20 layers of crepe paper through my cuttle bug with this flower die and viola!! flowers in different sizes.  The two smaller flowers are from k&company that I have had for about a year and decided to use up. The chipboard "HI" are heidi swapp letters from my stash.

Enjoy your day and thanks for looking!!

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!!

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!!

moxie fab-u-licious tuesday trigger

It's time for another moxie fab-u-licious tuesday trigger! I am becoming addicted to these triggers and this weeks trigger "I feel pretty in turquoise and gold" just screamed at me! I could not make up my mind what I wanted to do! Usually I have to think about it for awhile but I had so many things going thru my head I couldn't hardly settle down! I knew I wanted to use the "on my couch" set from papertrey ink but I wasn't sure what to use for the wallpaper I had in my head. So I go out to check the mail and my papertrey ink order from release night was here!!! yay!! I ripped open my box and dumped it all on the floor to look at each and every item I ordered and when I saw the petal power background set  I said "that is it!" So one of the images in the set is what I used for the wallpaper. I even broke out my neglected gold embossing powder and heat gun for this one :)  I found a piece of scrap paper in my stash that was from sei a year or so ago. I stamped my couch in dark chocolate ink. I stamped and meticulously cut out the lamp, table & picture. I colored just a few things as close to turquoise as I could get and mounted with dimensionals over my wallpaper. I used a rectangle spellbinders die to emboss a rectangle around the image and mounted my "room" over the rectangle. The sentiment is stamped in dark chocolate.

As always thanks for looking and have a great day!

moxie fab tuesday trigger is bloomin'

Well, after being on a roll for the first week of the year wouldn't you know it I got icky sicky! I am feeling better and had a chance to play with the moxie fab tuesday trigger this week. My great leap of inspiration came as I was getting in bed last night  to go to SLEEP.... I had this idea and had to get up and get it done! It actually only took me less than a half hour to finish this card.......

...with a BIG cabbage flower! I used scraps for this card and my spellbinders blossom dies. I just started with spring moss for the largest bloom, kiwi kiss for the next, ripe avocado and plum pudding for the purple. I crinkled them all up and took my plum pudding ink pad and rubbed it over all the blooms. I stuck a brad in the middle to hold it all together and put a little bling in the middle. I added the leaf ribbon for the stem and the sentiment stamped with plum pudding. I scored two lines with my scor-pal above and below the sentiment for a little texture.

I am off.....

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

moxie fab tuesday trigger again!

So while I had everything on my desk with these colors I decided I needed to make a sympathy card to have on hand for a friend whose father is expected to pass away soon. I thought these colors were perfect for a sympathy card...... very soft and serene.

I had the embossed leaf piece already to go from another project and just thought I would go from there. This card took me all of maybe 10 minutes and that was only because I had to die cut the tag and thread the ribbon thru. The most painstaking effort for the card! I used the left over butterflies from my last card because, ummm I punched too many!!??  ;) I will list all the deets below as I want to get back to what I was doing since I'm on a roll!

Have a great day !!

iT'S A nEW yEAR WITH mOXIE fAB

It's a brand new year and after a relaxing weekend away with my man I nestled myself into my studio to get some serious craftin' done. When I first saw this picture of this week's moxie fab challenge I thought "great I have nothing sea worthy for this one!"  Then I panicked because it was already sunday evening and I didn't even have a plan. Then I decided I would just take the colors for a spin... and this is what I came up with...

I have been wanting to use this adorable bicycle from hero arts ever since I got it in the mail last week. I stamped it in aqua mist and clear embossed. I used the spellbinders labels eight dies to cut out the bicycle and a piece of cream that I ran thru my cuttlebug with the swiss dot folder. I added a piece of vintage lace to the back of the die cut and layered onto a vintage cream card base. I stamped the sentiment from everyday button bits from papertrey ink in aqua mist ink.  The butterflies are punched out of lemon tart cardstock. I will list the supplies below......

As always..... Thanks for looking and have a great day!

moxie fab tuesday trigger

I have been oh so busy working on my goals for the next year. I don't know when I have been this excited for the new year. So in between working on goals and cleaning my studio I finished up this card today for this weeks moxie fab tuesday trigger. This weeks inspiration came from Linda Beeson and her bathroom. Dang but I wished my bathroom looked this good. I am definitely diggin' the black. So here goes with my interpretation......

I was going for a more manly look as this card is intended for a soldier who has recently come home. I stamped the new row of houses from hero arts in black and cut each one out to give it a bit of definition.  I stamped a separate row in green and cut out one of the houses and popped it up on a dimensional. The black & white paper is from papertrey ink.

I am off to finish up what I started today.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

all creatures great & small

Hello!! I just wanted to share a quick post for the moxie fab blog challenge called all creatures great and small. I originally made this card for the tuesday trigger but felt that it fit in more for the creatures great & small challenge.... especially when I saw this plate from crate & barrel that Cath put on her blog.....

I mean it was weird!! I couldn't have planned it any better even though it was supposed to be for something else! I went to the moxie fab blog to upload my card for the tuesday trigger but no...  it was not meant to be for that one! As soon as I saw the crate & barrel plate I knew it was meant for this one!! Cool!
Anyway.. lots of papertrey ink goodness on this.... I used take a bough but decided I like the branch in out on a limb better... they are the same branch but the take a bough one is bigger. I just used the pine leaves that are separate in the set and stamped each one, first in new leaf and then again in spring moss. The ornaments and the birds (from Christmas friends) are stamped in pure poppy as is the sentiment (from 2009 holiday tags). The ornament hangers are stamped in smokey shadow. I them just ran it thru my cuttlebug with the largest spellbinders square die with the embossing mat under neath to make a nice embossed line around the image. It is a really fast one layer card and I really like the way it turned out ...... I'm off to go shopping!
Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

moxie fab tuesday trigger

After much busy-ness last week I decided I would check the moxie fab blog this week and see what the tuesday trigger for this was........

Oh what a beautiful patchwork stocking done in...yikes.... RED! Some of you may know but just in case you don't I will tell you now.. I am red challenged! I don't like the color red. I never have and I have tried to like it. One time I even bought a red dress and I wore it twice then out the door it went. So this was definitely a challenge and this is what I came up with......

Not too bad for working with a color that isn't me. All products are from papertrey ink except for the snowflakes.. I punched the big one from my martha stewart punch and the two small ones are from a cuttlebug die. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Tuesday trigger

I haven't really blog hopped for awhile so a couple of days ago I took the time out to check out a few blogs and I stumbled on to a fairly new challenge on the Moxie Fab Blog called the Tuesday Trigger. This was the trigger for this week ....

and this is my take....

I basically decided to embraced the white space and used my sentiment in smokey shadow as the monogram. I was going to do a pumpkin but to tell you the truth I am all pumpkin-ed out! I have been in the mood for flowers.... tissue paper flowers to be exact and pink at that! I used my spellbinders flower die and cut out layers of three at a time to give some dimension. I used my favorite apron lace punch for the bottom and the leaf die from stampin up for the foilage. The sentiments are from the vintage picnic sentiments set from papertrey ink. The flower centers are from stampin up.
 I'm off to get a few other things finished....... Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
