Moxie Fab: Bright & Bold Challenge

I'm back with a challenge. I found color challenges on the Moxie Fab World site so I thought I'd play along. I chose the Bright & Bold Color Challenge for Color Inspiration for Card Makers Week in the Moxie Fab World. Here's the colors I had to work with:

And here's what I came up with.

I knew I wanted to try to make a Valentine's Day/love card, 'tis the season and all. And I haven't gotten near enough use out of Lawn Fawn's "Just My Type" stamp set. I think it came out cute. Thanks for stopping by!

Card Supplies

Paper: PTI Hibiscus Burst, White, Orange Zest, random black cs from my stash

Stamps: Lawn Fawn 'Just My Type', Heidi Grace 'Reagan's Closet' stamps (tiny heart)

Ink: VersaFine Black Onyx

Hi - Jubilee Card

This card features another great paper collection, K & Company's Jubilee! This card is all about the paper.

Aren't those chipboard letters great?! I love how big they are and that some of them have a little bling on them. I made the layered bottom with a Fiskars border punch and I used my greatly ignored Papertrey Ink flower dies to make that pretty flower.

I also used a technique I've seen on the web, sponging white paint on the edges of my card. I may have blended it out a bit too much on this card but it really helped add a wispy look to the card. I'll be sure to use this technique again soon. I love how bright and happy this card is!

Thanks for stopping by and come back agains soon!

You Make Me Happy Card

Here's the first card I made with my Restoration paper from Crate Paper. I can't tell you how much I love this collection! I love the muted pinks and blues.

I like this paper so much I didn't even stamp on this card. I used the die cuts and the stickers that came in the collection pack. I wanted a layered look with the flowers and doily. I know it's hard to see but the flowers are popped up at different heights.

I love this kitchy sentiment sticker. This paper collection "makes ME happy!" :)

Card Supplies

Other: Fiskar's scallop border punch, PTI Cream grosgrain ribbon, random button, pink bling

Happy Halloween Card

Today I have a spooky Halloween card. I've been wanting to use my Cricut more so I cut out a couple of frames and a spider for this card.

A little embossing with my Cuttlebug and simple sentiment and I think my card looks pretty good! The spider is a great cut. I love how this card is dark and spooky looking! A nice break from the flowery cards I've been making. :)

Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon!

Thank You - 2S4Y #62

After posting those cards that missed their challenges, I wanted to be sure to get this card card up and submitted!

2 Sketches 4 You always has great sketches and this weeks was no different. Unfortunately, I think my card is way too busy. I was so excited to use my Restoration paper by Crate Paper that I think I over did it. :( I'm pretty sure using it as a back drop to take my photo didn't help either. LOL!)

I like the double line of ruffle ribbon and my pretty flower chipboard. Oh well, there'll be another challenge next week!

I also wanted to show the only card I made on Worldwide Card Making Day. I made it with my 5 year old and he designed it for us. Here's my version:

He's on a Halloween kick! :)

Bee-utiful Card

Here's my second card for a challenge that didn't get up in time. It was for a Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger challenge. Here's the card.

The challenge showed this pretty, fall colored afghan and we were to take some inspiration from it and make a card.

I took the color scheme and the honeycomb shape. I think the card turned out ok. I wish I'd added a soft texture to the background with a stamp or something, the card seems a little flat.

Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon!

Hi There card

Sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day. Here's a card I made for a challenge that didn't get posted in time. :( Challenges are still fun because they give you a starting point. Without further ado, here's the card.

Isn't it pretty?? I paper pieced the MFT image with the colors grey, green and yellow. I like the way this card turned out! I also used a 2S4Y sketch for this. Cards are a lot easier to design and put together when you have a sketch, color scheme and stamp company to use! :)

Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon! I have another card tomorrow for another challenge I didn't get to in time. Darn those kids! :)

Card Supplies

Paper: PTI Kraft, Ripe Avocado, Basic Grey Green At Heart

2S4Y #62 - Friendship card

Happy World Card Makers Day! I made this card for 2 Sketches 4 You and forgot to post it. Todays the last day so I'm eeking it in under the wire. This weeks great sketch was to have a decorate border on your card. This was both challenging for me and fun! Here's what I came up with!

I made this small 3 3/4" X 3 3/4" card using my Spellbinders Labels One set. I just cut off the decorative border and left the rest of the card intact. I did the same thing to some Echo Park Paper Co. Sweet Summertime paper as well. I trimmed up a die cut and added a sticker to really emphasize the border shape. And I finally got to use some of this cute flower ribbon!

Well I'm off to make a card with my five year old in honor of World Card Making day! AND I got the Crate Paper's Restoration collection today and I'm sooooo excited! I can't wait to make a card with it. You'll see it debut later this week! Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon!

Offset Scallop Gallop Challenge

How great is the name of this challenge?! :) This is a challenge from Moxie Fab World and I love it!

I decided to use this great pattern paper from K & Company. It's actually from a Girl Scouts specialty paper pack but the patterns don't all scream Girl Scouts. I even bought the die cuts for the collection. I kept this card simple and let the offset scallops be the main focus.

Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon!

Deep Sympathy - WMS16

Back with yet another challenge card. Sometimes challenges get the mojo going and at least give you a jumping off point. This card is for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #16. It's another great and inspiring sketch, so many themes can go with it!

I decided to make a sympathy card as, unfortunately, one always needs a few in ones stash. They are so hard to make, I find keeping things simple is best. I stamped with a pretty flower image in VersaMark on different colored card stocks leaving just a faint image. A simple sentiment and thats about it.

Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon!

Paper: PTI Kraft, Plum Pudding, Pure Poppy, Melon Berry, Vintage Cream, random green card stock
