Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger: Val De Victorians And CFC#75

Here is the inspiration picture for Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger. I was inspired by the angle of the street line and the color scheme to create my card. Entering this in the Cas-ual Fridays Challenge Blog also as a "Hang something over the edge" of a card!

Used the new Basic Grey Soleil papers and my new Fiskars interchangeable border punch Laundry Line. Baker's twine is from Doodlebug.TFL!

CFC#74, Put Your Heart Into It

Played along with Cas-ual Fridays Challenge #74, and created a mask for my Tattered Angels mist in Candy Apple Red, by tracing a chipboard heart with my Exacto knife onto copy paper. Sprayed, then splatted some watered down white paint too.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink "Thanks All Ways" set.  Super quick clean and simple card! TFL!

CFC #73 (Cas-ual Fridays Challenge Blog)

The Cas-ual Fridays Challenge this week is to make something in honor of a woman in your life. I chose to make this card to honor my Mom! You are the BEST!

Take Two of CFC #72

I just wanted to try another idea that popped into my head, by using something other than a font as the yellow focal point, but keeping it similar to my new blog header. Hence take two! TFL!!

Cas-ual Fridays Challenge #72 (CFC#72)

What timing! I just had a blog make-over by Designer Blogs, and the Cas-ual Friday Challenge is to be inspired by your own blog header. The ribbons are attached with the tiny attacher to the back portion of the card, (that's why they look crooked in the photo), and are resembling the social tabs on my blog.
Letter stickers for "Happy" are from Bella Blvd. , and the "birthday" portion is from Papertrey Ink, Think Big Favorites #12.

  Thank You for looking, and taking the time to comment. Your comments are truly appreciated!

This line is so adorable! It was super easy to create this card with the small scale prints from the 6x6 Tiny Tablet. Love the Persnickety line clear stamps too! They are made in USA of the highest quality non-yellowing photopolymer.  Made this card for the Lily Bee design team call:) TFL!

Frame using Lily Bee Design Head Over Heals Collection

This is the Head Over Heels collection, dreamy paper. I used both sides to create the rosettes. I crocheted the doily and gathered and stitched a scrap of burlap. The vintage sewing pattern was glued to the chipboard die cuts with Ranger Matte Glue N' Seal.

Close up for detail.

Added lilybeedesign paper behind this button.

Finished product! YAY!

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #78, Stamping and Hand Stitching

I must preface this post and say that I felt guilty after posting my previous card on the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday link up, because I felt like hand stitching the felt and buttons on the card were not enough. Here goes card number two for the MIM, stamping and hand stitching:) 

I am also entering this card in Moxie Fab World Minty Fresh Challenge.

Here is my Mega Gracious Vases Die Cut from Papertrey Ink. I was inspired by those really cool modern vases that have beading on them. Just backstitched with crochet thread.

Used my Tim Holtz ruler to space the stitching here. In hind sight, every other space would be great! :)

OK, I feel better now! Much more hand stitching on this card. Love this Papertrey Ink card stock, it is so thick and the colors are beautiful!

Moxie Fab World Challenge, and CAS-ual Friday Card

Here is my entry in the Moxie-Fab World Mint Green Challenge, and also for the CAS-ual Friday square card challenge. I put the white card stock in position on the Papertrey Ink Aqua Mist card stock and ran them through my Big Shot together. This way the embossed pattern continues onto the top layer and it looks like I trimmed down the white card stock. They are separated by 3D Foam squares. TFL!

This is my inspiration for the Moxie Fab Minty Fresh Challenge. Love the texture and rounded corners!
