Mojo Monday #295!

Hello! This week I decided to play along in Mojo Monday Challenge #295! I made a card for last week's challenge, but completely forgot to post it. So, this is technically my second time playing, but my first linking up!



I decided to do the round card sketch and came up with this:

















As you can see, I omitted the diamond because my image was too big (I hope that is okay!). The card base was made by overlapping the die on a piece of folded cardstock and then cutting a full circle with the same die.

Supplies

Paper: Kraft (Recollections); White (Georgia-Pacific); Vellum (The Paper Studio)
Patterned Paper: This & That Graceful 6x6 (Echo Park); The Sweetest Thing Tangerine (My Mind's Eye)

Markers: Creamy Caramel (Stampin' Up)

Moxie Fab World Gift Packaging Challenge

Hello! After playing along in a few other Moxie Fab Challenges, I decided to try out the Gift Packaging Challenge! This one was definitely a challenge as I don't normally make boxes. The finished size is 4 in.x 4 in.x 2 in.



The box closes with Velcro flaps at 3 different points. I decided to fill the box with Hershey Kisses because if I were to receive that much, there would definitely be blue skies for me!

Supplies

Paper: Kraft (Recollections); White (Georgia-Pacific); Baja Breeze (Stampin' Up)
Stamps: Blue Skies, And a Partridge (Lawn Fawn)
Ink: Chestnut Roan (Colorbox); Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)
Markers: Bermuda Bay (Stampin' Up)
Punches: Stampin' Up and Marvy
Other: Heavy Duty Velcro

Here is my card. I hope it is CAS enough!

Moxie Fab Gift Card Holder Challenge

Hello! After playing along in Moxie Fab World's Tag Challenge, I decided I should play along in the The Gift Card Holder Challenge as well. This card took a LONG time to create because I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted. But, I am in love with the end result:


I made the gift card holder by cutting a piece of cardstock to the size of the gift card (2.25in. x 3.5in.)
and then cutting a piece of patterned paper to 3.25in. x 4in. and scoring at 1/2in on both sides and at the bottom. Next, I punched a circle out on the top to make it easier to pull the gift card out. Finally, I folded and adhered the patterned paper to the cardstock.

Supplies
Paper: Kraft (Recollections); White (Georgia Pacific)
Patterned Paper: This 7 That graceful 6x6 (Echo Park); Polka Dots from my stash
Stamps: Jessie's ABCs, Blue Skies (Lawn Fawn)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko); Pik (Studio G)
Dies/Embossing Folders: Blue Skies Lawn Cuts (Lawn Fawn); So Trendy M-Bossibilities (Spellbinders)
Markers: Bermuda Bay, Close To Cocoa (Stampin' Up)

Lawnscaping DT Call

Hello! Since I have an obsession with Lawn Fawn products, I thought I should enter the Lawnscaping Challenge DT Call . The call asks us to show our style, and I guess mine would be a mix of fun and sophisticated.





And here is my card:

 
 
For this card, I stamped the Polaroid from Say Cheese in black ink. Next, I stamped the scissors from Just My Type in blue ink. Then, I masked the sides of the Polaroid and the scissors and stamped the scissors in grey ink . Finally, I stamped the sentiment (also from Just My Type) and adhered the Polaroid onto some Daphne's closet paper. As a finishing touch, I added some brown twine from the Retro Lawn Trimmings pack onto the card and adhered it to the card base.
 
Supplies
 
Paper: Kraft (Recollections); White (Georgia-Pacific)
Patterned Paper: Daphne's Closet 12x12 (Lawn Fawn)
Stamps: Say Cheese (Lawn Fawn); Just My Type (Lawn Fawn)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko) Blue, Grey (Studio G)
Other: Retro Lawn Trimmings Pack (Lawn Fawn)

10 Minute Craft Dash #17!

Hello! I'm back with another post for the 10 Minute Craft Dash! I had actually pinned this color scheme awhile ago, and when I saw these colors, I instantly thought of pink, sugary cotton candy!

CD_17

This card took me 8 minutes and 15 seconds, which surprised me as this is the most ambitious card I've made yet.
 
 
This picture really doesn't show the glitteriness of the cotton candy. Also, I've been using a new camera :)
 
 

 
There we go :) The stitching isn't perfect, but what's done is done. Also, I used a panel the same size as the base so it wouldn't warp as much.
 
Supplies
Cardstock: (White) Georgia-Pacific; (Pool Party) Stampin' Up; (Kraft) Recollections
Stamps: (Admit One) Lawn Fawn
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Markers: (Blushing Bride, Creamy Caramel) Stampin' Up; Black Sharpie
Embossing Folders/Dies: (Geometric Rings Embossing Folder) Cuttlebug; (Large Scallop Circles) Spellbinders
Punches: (Curly Label) Stampin' Up; (2" Circle) Marvy
Other: (Glossy Accents) Ranger; (Dazzling Diamonds Glitter) Stampin' Up
