The current theme at the Moxie Fab World blog is ... Foxy Foxes ... the perfect opportunity to ink-up my Foxy Stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop.
I embossed Core'dinations cardstock with Darice Circles and then sanded to reveal the core. The next step was to paper piece my little fox and then use tiny pearls for his eyes and an even tinier gem for his nose.
I finished with a few sentiments from the set using the layout from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch ... Ring Ding Ding Ding Dingeringeding!
They're playing Tic Tac Toe at The Paper Players ... I played vertically down the left side.
I started with a Project Life Card from a birthday set ... and combined it with glittery number stickers & Amy Tangerine Plus One Papers for a masculine birthday design (those colors are also Iowa Hawkeye colors, so they are big in Iowa).
I finished with a random mix of yellow epoxy dots. I'm also joining the Brown Sugar Challenge where the them this week is Anything Goes, as well as Anything Goes at Simon Says Stamp.
It's also Let's Here it For the Boys theme at The Corrosive Challenge Blog.
Our theme at Jingle Belles is Baby It's GOLD Outside ... where we are celebrating the holidays with lots of glitzy gold.
I pretty much went all-out-gold with my card ... stamping done with Delicata Gold Glitz Ink ... gold DCWV Glitter bakcground ... gold sequins ... and snowflakes punched from gold foil paper.
Unfortunately, there was no gold ribbon in my stash (seriously ... how can that be), so I used blue glitter tape. The layout is from Tuesday Morning Sketches.
I think this week's Fusion Card Challenge is perfect for a little distressing.
I was inspired by the colors, theme and shape of the door. It felt a little *Americana* to me, so I started with Crafter's Companion Starry Eyed Embossing folder on Core'dinations Kraft-Core Nostalgic collection that I sanded with a sanding block to bring out the design.
Unity Stamp Company's Hope builds Courage once in red & again in brown for the accent banner, that I attached with foam tape. I liked how the word hope repeated in the inspiration image, so I added a few more text stickers to finish the design.
Another week of blogland discoveries:
Have a terrific Thursday!
The wintry hues in the current Always Playing with Paper Challenge seemed perfect to me for a holiday card.
I started with a Penny Black Starry Night sticker and built my card around it ... adding some white SRM Sticker stitches.
Sentiment is May Peace Be Your Gift from Stampotique stamped on a scrap of paper colored with shimmer spray. The final accent was a few sequins.
I'm also joining the Anything Goes Challenge at Christmas Stamping All Year Long as well as Anything Goes for Christmas at the Winter Wonderland blog.
I'm working on some Congratulations cards this afternoon ... this features a glittery card made to use with Project LIfe (love how they are sized perfectly for cards too).
Finishing touches included a wrap of PapterTrey Ink ribbon and a Bravo Sticker using this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.
I needed a fun Anniversary Card, so I finally inked-up Avery Elle's We Go Together (yes, I now have We Go Together stuck in my head ... Like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong). The current AEI♥U Challenge is Sequins, which worked perfectly with my clean & simple design.
I stuck with a black and white palette ... the stamps are very tiny, so they would likely be a challenge to paper piece, and I wasn't in the mood to color. So instead, I added color with trios of sequins.
I combined stamps from My Favorite Things Lana Lamb Designs At the Office, Technique Tuesday Big Thanks, and Mama Elephant Hustle for this fun congratuations card.
I stamped them all on a journaling card from Amy Tangerine's Plus One Collection. The finishing touch were some metal stars from Basic Grey.
I needed a masculine thank you card, so I thought some DCWV Burlap paper would be perfect. Background paper is Studio Calico Darling Dear.
I used Die Cuts from Paper Smooches Quote Tag Dies together with a sentiment stamp from Chit Chat. I love how the denim ribbon looks with the texture of the burlap.
It's Anything Goes For the Paper Smooches Challenge, so I'm linking-up. It's also a Die Cut Linky Party at Pause, Dream Enjoy.
