Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - Home Sweet Home

This week's Moxie Fab Trigger inspired my card below. Love the colors of red, blue, and green with a hint of brown. The roof reminded me that I had some older A Muse dotted cardstock in my stash. And I embossed my banner with the Woodgrain impression plate I had yet to use.

And instead of using just plain old buttons, I also made some glittered buttons using the technique in this week's Papertrey Ink Make It Monday video .Glittered buttons are much easier to make that I had thought!



Supplies: Dotted Cardstock: A Muse, Cardstock: Papertrey Ink Rustic Cream, Ink: Papertrey Spring Moss, Ranger Adirondack Espresso, Stamps: Papertrey Ink Everyday Button Bits, Buttons: Papertrey Ink, Impression Plate: Papertrey Woodgrain, Dies: Papertrey Ink Wine Bottle Tag, Glitter: Deco Art, Twine: Twinery Caribbean.

CR84FN48 Challenge

There's an all new CR84FN Color Challenge. This week's colors are soft and pale and I tried a card even though I didn't have the EXACT colors & supplies I wanted.

Supplies: Cardstock: Papertrey Ink White, Bazzill grey, Stamps: Papertrey Ink Flower Fusion #7, Twine: Twinery Stone, Heart Bling: Hero Arts, Ink: ColorBox Wisteria, Versamagic Tea Leaves, Adirondack Pitch Black

The card has a banner on the top which I had to create to cover up a stamping mistake I made when I was doing the sentiment. I learned my lesson not to pay more attention to the TV than to my stamping!

Thanks for looking!

colourQ Challenge #123

Made this card for the colourQ Challenge but missed the deadline for linking. LOVE the inspiration colors and the card I made from it so posting this anyway. This was the first time I embossed a sentiment. Love the little dimension it adds. Not sure how to remove the bit of wandering embossing powder around the sentiment. Tapping it off didn't seem to work. Any ideas/tips?


Supplies: Cardstock: Papertrey Ink Berry Sorbet and White, Stamps: Papertrey Ink Botanical Silhouettes & Think Big Favorites #4, Ink: Papertrey Ink Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet, Classic Kraft, and Versamark, Embossing Powder: American Crafts White Zing, and Ribbon (no idea who made it but in my stash for a long time!)
