Tuesday Trigger and more...

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing a card I made for this week's Tuesday Trigger over on Moxie Fab World. We were to take inspiration from this Oh So Lovely photo:



Doesn't that just give you the warm fuzzies? I love this pic! Anyway... I also wanted to play in this week's challenge over at Joan's Gardens, and that challenge was to use blue, orange, a spring theme, a die cut and a circle. My circle is actually my hand made organza rose, which was my first attempt at these so go easy on me! :) I cut several circles of organza in bright pink, light pink and an orange/gold color. I used a candle to seal the edges and that causes the organza to curl up and it's amazing how you can start with a circle and end up with what really look like petals! I also used a big button from my stash that I have been hoarding. It is clear but half of it is orange and half is colorless. I really liked how it played with the orange tones in the card stock and flower. The ribbon is recycled from a gift I had received quite a while ago. I knew some day I'd use it!

I also incorporated some pink so I could play along with the Play Date Cafe Color challenge, which is orange, pink and blue. The photo there had two shades of blue and I went with the lighter.

My dp is from a treasured pack of Prima- Annalee. The sentiment is from Gina K (It's a Nina Brackett set called Fanciful Tags). I stamped it with Adirondak Latte and I used a Spellbinders Fancy Tag to cut it out. The base is Gina K leather. The punched edge is cut with a T Holtz die (Sizzix) and I used a scrap of MS cs for that. I meant to sew on this and totally forgot! LOL! Oh my...

Encouragement the Moxie Fab way!

Happy Sunday and welcome to another Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge! This week our hostess is the sweet and talented Patti! The Scripture Patti chose for this week's challenge is "Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them." ~Ephesians 4:29 NLT

Patti's challenge is "A Way with Words". Create a card or project that will compliment, encourage, or cheer someone in need of uplifting.

I wanted to play this week's Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World as well, so I made two cards that fit both of these challenges. The Moxie Fab Tues. Trigger is "All that glitters" and is based on this gorgeous inspiration photo:

Aren't these colors and this ring amazing? I won't even tell you what this baby costs! But here is my second take on the trigger:

The top card is made with Layers of Color Granny's Jewelry clear art stamp set, stamped in Stazon Silver, and Gina K Fanciful Tags (by Nina Brackett) for the sentiment, heat embossed in white. The second card is made with Our Daily Bread designs "God Loves You" set, stamped in Lavender Lace (SU!). Both cards are on a base of EK Success Craftstock (Purple Heliotype) and use designer paper by Kaisercraft (Airy Fairy). The ribbon is from my stash, as is all the bling. Both cards were made in a snap... REALLY CAS for me, but I do like them and know I have many uses for Praying for you cards!

Moxie Chic

I made this for this week's Tuesday Trigger which is Moxie Chic! I drew my inspiration from the colors and replicated the ruffles with my May Arts wrinkled ribbon which I gathered up and then added the touch of pink ribbon from SU! over top. My frame is from Layers of Color, Rose Blossom Frame cling art stamp, designed for the Spellbinder's Label 16. (Layers of Color is a Spellbinders Preferred company) I matted it with black like the hat. The sentiment is from Gina K, Lovely Labels, one of Nina Bracketts wonderful sets. The embossing folder is Cuttlebug. I colored the rose blossoms with my Copics. The cs is SU! and the white is Gina K.
