Tuesday Trigger: Farm Fresh

OK, I’m going to try my hand at a Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger. When I saw this trigger I knew it was the one to do. And here is my card:I was a huge fan of Tinkering Ink papers and the colors in the trigger are the same colors that are in their Botanical Bliss line. Yes, I am hoarding my Tinkering Ink papers. 8^) For this card I used Tinkering Ink Petite Patterned pad Botanical Bliss, Hero Arts’ “Wish You Were Here,” Technique Tuesday’s “Shadows, Rings, and Little Things,” Stampendous’ “Dot Sparkles Gold” and Autumn Leaves RubOns. I also used Tim Holtz Alterations On the Edge “Scrollwork.” I hope you’ll stop by the Moxie Fab World and try the Tuesday Trigger yourself. http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/03/tuesday-trigger-farm-fresh.html

Just Shine

I have so many people who add a little brightness to my life that I needed some cards that could be used for everything, these work. I used Unity’s “Shine On” stamps by Lisa Hetrick. I love these little lamps! I really like the paper on these cards but I have no idea who it’s by as I have had it for quite a while. When making a set of cards I like to use two sided papers like this one. I stamped each lamp twice and cut out one shade to pop up with foam tape to add some dimension. I then colored (color pencils, I like how they give a "fabric" texture to the shades) the shades with blues and greens and used some bling that I had in my stash. Each envelope also has a lamp stamped on it that matches the lamp on the card. A simple card with lots of fun. Ok, I have to say it…now go let your creativity shine. lol

A Sweet Little Book

This little book is so easy to make! Tim Holtz calls it the “W” book and that was a big help when I was learning to make them. This was the very first one I ever made and now I’m addicted to them. Lol! I have made a few changes in how I make them now, but they still make me happy every time I make one. To make one 3”x3” book I use one 12”x12” piece of paper, Tim Holtz tissue tape, a glue stick and embellishments. It’s a quick, easy, and fun mini book. I’ll put one of the newer ones on here soon.

Camera

Hey, just wanted to brag about my wonderful better half. For my birthday (I’m posting this a little late) I got a Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S camera! It makes the most adorable credit card sized pictures. I can’t wait to make some mini albums with them. I so love it!!

Diva Drinks

Every diva needs her own special glass! So I made some for some of my favorite divas. These, like the “man mugs,” should only be gently hand washed! For these monogrammed wine glasses I used Cricut’s “Home Décor,” “Opposites Attract,” “Mini Monograms,” “Songbird,” “George & Basic Shapes,” “Paper Pups.” Here’s to creativity!

Man Mug!

These “man” mugs are just what you need for the hard to buy for guy in your life. Pick up some good heavy weight mugs and you’re already almost done. Just remember these mugs must be hand washed. I used Cricut’s “Plantin Schoolbook” for a “manly” alphabet. And their “Graphically Speaking” had the cutest faucet. Make a few for some of your favorite guys…I did.
