Moxie Fab World Value of Vintage challenge

Quick post. Here's a card I made for Moxie Fab World's Value of Vintage challenge.

The buttons are vintage. I've paired them with vintage-looking lace, paper (Early Bird Cosmo Cricket), and image (Unity Stamp Co.'s June Kit of the Month).

Wasn't sure which version of the picture I liked best so you get both. The first one was taken at night with my indoor camera setting so it has a yellow cast - but I think it gives the card an even more vintage-y feel. The second one was taken in morning natural light. It's colors are a little truer - except for the lace which looks white when it's really cream.

Details: Paper - Cosmo Cricket, The Paper Company; stamps - Unity Stamp Co.; ink - Stampin' Up!; diecut - Cricut; buttons - Heart & Home Collectables; lace - Wyla Lace; thread.

TFL!

Moxie Fab Rainy Day Challenge - Friendship is Shelter

Moxie Fab World's challenge this week was to create an encouragement card with a rainy day theme. You know, umbrellas, wellies, slickers, etc.




This is a really cute and cutesy card. I know it's a bit corny but had to include a silver lining on the cloud. It's super reflective silver metallic paper by Best Occasions.

I love the patterned paper from K & Co. Some of the umbrellas and the cloud are popped up with foam for dimension.

Details - Paper - K & Co., Best Occasions; Ink - StazOn, SU!; Stamps - Autumn Leaves, SU!; foam squares.

Thanks for looking!

Moxie Fab World Wood You Challenge - one more card

OK, seriously, this is my last offering for the Moxie Fab World Wood You Challenge to use wood grain on a paper craft (http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2009/04/wood-you-challenge.html). I just really like wood grain as a design element!

March 2011 issue

The hibiscus flower is colored like wood grain using the Gina K Stamp TV method as noted in the previous post. The flower itself is a Cricut Storybook die cut. I didn't realize it until I was finished with the card but the light colored paper on the right side of the card has a wood grain background. Guess I was just in the wood grain frame of mind.

Details : Paper - DCWV Summer Stack, SU!; Ink - VersaMagic, SU!; Cricut, Fiskars border punch, foam squares.

I'm off to bed now. I had wanted to make another wood grain offering of a school house but that'll just have to wait for another day. I'm addicted to challenges!!

TFL!

Wood You? Moxie Fab World woodgrain challenge.

Moxie Fab World is hosting a woodgrain challenge this week (http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2009/04/wood-you-challenge.html). Woodgrain patterns are so trendy right now.

My first offering is a sassy little seagull. I love all the birds in the Inkadinkado clear stamps set by Amy Smyth "Bird Assortment" (http://www.addictedtorubberstamps.com/ProductDetail?ProductDetail.SKU=6-758-673646&ProductDetail.ListIndex=2). They all have such attitude. My woodgrain paper comes from DCWV's Green Stack. I weathered-up the wood a bit with some "cracks". The background is brayered.

Details: Paper - DCWV, The Paper Company, SU!; Ink - SU!, Staz-On; Stamp - Inkadinkado; brayer, twine.

Paper Crafts Connection Cards & Gifts Week Mother's Day Challenge

All last week Paper Crafts Connection (http://papercraftsconnection.com/) and Moxie Fab World (http://www.moxiefabworld.com/) have been celebrating the release of their newest special publication 225 Cards & Gifts with lots of fun giveaways and a Mother's Day challenge. To see all the submissions from all the amazingly talented paper crafters out there, go to http://www.flickr.com/groups/cardsandgiftsweekchallenge/.

Stella Ruby Birds Note Card Set

My first submission is a note card set that I will be giving my mom for Mother's Day this year. I think she'll really love the colors, images, and especially the Stella Ruby Basic Grey paper. All the bird images, from a gorgeous set by Inkadinkadoo called Gem Stone Birds, are heat embossed to add that great touchey-feeley quality to the cards. All cards also include machine stitching (which, I admit, is not my forte' but adds to the homemade feel of the cards).

Details: Stamps - Inkadinkadoo Clear Stamps 98849 Gem Stone Birds; Paper - Basic Grey Stella Ruby 6x6 pad; Ink - VersaMark; Embossing Powder - Tim Holtz Distress Powder, Ink It! Embossing Powder, Judi*Kins Embossing Powder; Punches - SU!, Fiskars; Other - Carolace, thread, Halcraft blank notecards.

Urban Couture Snack Set

My second submission is a snack set I made using Basic Grey Urban Couture paper. I will be using this particular set myself. :) I love how especially this line of BG paper gives a distressed feel without all the work!

Details: Paper - Basic Grey Urban Couture 12 x 12; Other - Making Memories paint, Stickles, Mod Podge, misc. wooden boxes.

Thanks so much for looking! Leave me a comment - let me know what you think.
