Moxie Fab: Make your own background paper

Moxie Fab World has had a few wonderful challenges going on for the last few weeks and I finally have a chance to sit and play. The challenges are based on a new book called 75 Creative Card Challenges. Here is my take on Challenge #49 - Make your background paper. I just wanted to create a simple card using a couple of CTMH stamps to create the decorative edge (with a masking technique). The flower is also a stamp and fussy cut and popped up in the centre.

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out Moxie Fab World for some awesome inspiration.

4 x 4 Snowmen cards

Quick post to get this logged onto the blog. I like to be able to look back at what I have created and every year, I seem to skip Christmas postings as I am too busy crafting. So there won't be much of a write up, just the pics for me to look back on. Sorry about the poor photos. It was dark out and the lighting wouldn't work for me today. I also couldn't get pics of all 4 cards, which is what the group one can show.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Gina K

Designer Paper: My Mind's Eye, Echo Park

Stamps: CTMH (snowmen) , Paper Smooches (greetings)

Markers: copic

Gems: CTMH

Giving Thanks

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've had time to sit down and post any cards, so I thought I'd share a couple of Thanksgiving cards I gave away.

The first card was created using a retired leaf set from CTMH and the greeting stamp is from Paper Smooches. Kraft cardstock is Gina K. The second card is all CTMH using the new Avonlea paper and a coodinating stamp set. Thanks sentiment is from another CTMH stamp set.

I'd like to enter these cards in the following challenge:

Thanks for stopping in and have a fabulous week.

Hugs,

Angry Bird Birthday Card!

Happy Birthday goes out to my wonderful son Adam who turns 12 tomorrow! Adam just loves Angry Birds and when I saw this great card on Pinterest, I knew just what to make for him. Imagine my delight when I found it included this great video by Dawns Stamping Studio. Thank you Dawn for such awesome instructions! I had to improvise a little as I didn't have all the same products, but I'm pleased with the result.
Adam, sweetie, I wish you a day filled with sunshine, love and laughter!

Am loving my flower stamps lately and can't wait to get outside and grow some real ones. With this fresh new snow outside, looks like I'll have to "settle" for stamped flowers for now. Today's card is a thank you card created to try out a technique from Gina K. - she calls it the reverse spellbinder. Instead of the image being popped up, the frame is. Such a fun technique - I will definitely be trying this again.

Supplies used:

Paper: Gina K. Designs

Stamps: CTMH and Heartfelt Creations
Markers: Copic
Pearls: CTMH
Ink: Momento - Tuxedo Black
Dies: Spellbinders
Ribbon: CTMH
