Tuesday Trigger - Ready for Red Challenge

     I made this card for the Tuesday Trigger - Ready for Red Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

     I love the black and white background from the inspiration photo (below). And, that little pop of velvety red is perfect. I stamped my background with a stamp from Paper Inspirations called Floral Flourish. It is one of my favorite stamps of all time. You can use it in so many ways. I matted the front panel with black and added a couple of dark red paper flowers with black ceners.
     If you are inspired by all this, you can answer the challenge too. Check all the details here:  http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/10/tuesday-trigger-ready-for-red.html

Square Punch Challenge

Modern-Art Necklace Card

     I made this card for the Square Punch Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

 

     I started by making a 5.5" x 4.25" card base out of pink cardstock. I embossed two white panels with Spellbinders Impressabilites Flourish die. I adhered one to the front of the card. On the other panel, I randomly painted back and forth with three colors of Copic Markers. I used Peony-RV69, Tender Pink-RV13 and Marigold-V05. Then, I cut five 1.25" squares from the colored panel with my square punch. I rounded two corners on each square and laid them out like a necklace chain. For the pendant, I stamped the sentiment using Hero Arts Joy Ride CL481 on a square of white cardstock with pink ink. I rounded three of the corners on that square and matted it on the fifth square (also rounded on three corners) of the painted, embossed panel. Lastly, I added graduated sizes of aroura borealis gems.

     Have a good idea for your square punch? There is plenty of time for you to answer the challenge too. Check out this link for all the details. http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/10/paper-crafting-tips-tricks-week-square.html

Alphabet Stickers Challenge

Jingle Bells Rock!

 

I made this card for the Alphabet Stickers Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

I started by making a 4.25" x 5.5" card out of dark red cardstock. Using Fiskars' medium Jingle All The Way punch, I punched 12 bells - 6 in white, 6 in gold. I glued the bells together leaving just a hint of the gold to peak out the side to give dimension to the bells. I used EK Success Sticko stickers in gold glitter to spell out 'JINGLE'. I adhered a white ribbon bow and streamer and set the bells along the streamer with foam tape for a bit more dimension. To finish off, I rounded the bottom corners.

CAS-ual Fridays Kraft-On Challenge CFC76

     Good morning! Thanks for stopping in. CAS-ual Fridays challenged us this week to make a card with Kraft paper or cardstock. Here's my take on the challenge.

 

 

       I started by making a card base with Kraft cardstock. The 'white and kraft script' background is from Prima's Madeline collection. I cut two lengths of border from the Kraft cardstock and backed them up to each other. Then, I added three fall-colored leaves and attached the 'hope' button to create the focal point.

     Do you have a project in mind using Kraft cardstock? You still have plenty of time to make it and enter it in this week's challenge at CAS-ual Fridays. You can get all the info about joining in the fun here: http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2012/10/cfc76.html. I will look forward to seeing your work in their gallery.

    Thanks so much for stopping by. I always love your visits and comments!
