Moxie Fab's Punch challenge

 I love this fun package boarder punch from Martha Steward. I punched out several strips of them in black card stock. I ran them through my xryon to add adhesive and then attached them to the white card. I then added some diamond dust stickles in the white spaces of the packages. It was a simple but fun card great for a Wedding or shower or Birthday.
Pull out your punches and punch away!

A Moxie Fab World Die Cut challenge

 I pulled out an old die I had not used in a long time from Sizzix. I used some printed paper in the different sizes and then I ran then through my Xron adhesive machine to add the sticky back so it would be even.I arranged the circles or Hoops on the white card and then stamped the saying.
So why not pull out some of your lonely dies and let them see the light of day again.

A Moxie Fab World Cutting and trimming challenge

 I am finally getting a post on my blog. This time it is a challenge from Moxie Fab World called Cutting and Trimming.  I have not really used my Martha Steward fringe scissors so now was a good time to get it out and play with it some. I cut on some printed green paper I had and then trimmed it to the same width. I wanted a more uneven edge for the the "grass" I was cutting so I used one of my Fiskar edger scissors. I like the way it turned out. The giraffe is from Raisin Boat Stamps What A Zoo.I colored it with Copic Markers and then cut it out adding it to the card with pop dots to add some dimension.
Have some fun with your fun scissors that might be collecting dust.

I bent the saying to have curved look. Try this with your clear stamps it is a fun way to give a saying a whimsical look.

Happy New Year

I found a bit of time to do a couple of challenges over at Stamp TV. One is for Flowers and the other is to make your own back ground paper.I hope you like them.
I stamped the flowers randomly on the card and then used prisma color pencils around the edges and then I pulled the color in with odorless mineral spirits.This was a make your own background challenge.
I used prisma color pencils on the inside of the flower and then I pulled the color out with a blender nib and odorless mineral spirits. I then ran it through a embossing folder. The green scallop was a spellbinder die which I cut from a pattenred green paper.
