This is my last post for my Moxie Fab Week.  The Getting Daring with Decorative Tape Challenge on the Moxie Fab Blog, is ending on March 7th, so I thought I would give it a go one more time.  This time I used strips of washi tape to create a border on my card in place of patterned paper.  I wanted to ruffle the fabric tape, but let's face it ruffles are not very masculine.  Instead of ruffles I added wrinkles to the fabric tape to keep it masculine, but still add a little bit of texture.  I added a little patterned paper and some corrugated letters by Jillibean Soup that I misted with brown and bronze mists.  This was a very quick card - very easy, but I think it a fun masculine card.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Supplies:
Paper: Watercolor cardstock (Archiver's); Patterned paper from Brook collection (Crate Paper)
Stamps: None
Ink: None
Extras: Corrugated Letters (Jillibean Soup); Brown and Bronze Mists (Maya Road); Washi Tapes (mt deco); Fabric tape (e2 Daily); Wood Veneer (SU!)

Oh Snap!

Moxie Fab Week continues this week with a card I created for the Stamping with Markers challenge as part of Stamp It! Techniques week on the Moxie Fab Blog.  For this challenge I colored my stamped image with some copic markers - it is so fun to shade with these suckers :-)  I chose my color scheme for my a-la-modes stamp from My Favorite things by using the fabulous colors in the Pasta Fagioli collection by Jillibean Soup.  I really love this collection.  I bought the paper for vacation pages, but I just can't help but use it on this punny cards.  This stuff is just too cute to hoard (I know it is so rare for me to say that).

Supplies:
Paper: Crumb Cake and Ridinghood Red cardstock (SU!); Pasta Fagioli patterned paper (Jillibean Soup)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Momento); Early Espresso (SU!)
Stamps: Picture Perfect a-la-modes (My Favorite Things)
Extras: Lemondrop Twine (The Twinery): Markers (Copic); border punch (SU!)

O' Christmas Tag

 
I love Christmas Tags!  When I get in the Christmas mojo slump and I can't even craft I card, I turn to my good ole friend the tag.  They are smaller, quick, easy and can be as simple or detailed as I want them to be.  For some reason I do a lot less thinking when it comes to making a tag than I do when crafting a card.  Anyways...I thought I would post a couple of tags that I made over Marisa's.

For the snowman tag.  I started out with the new JilliBean Soup Kraft paper and added 2 strips of lacey ribbon.  I picked up a while ago from Micheal's.  I then added a  Martha Stewart Doily.  The center of the doily was created using the Schlosser Designs Circle-A-Thon stamp.  I stamped the image in white on red cardstock and added some glittery yellow bling to make a pointsetta center and mounted that on green stamped with a circle outline for the Circle-A-Thon set, and then added both to Brown to make it pop off the doily.

For the red polka dot tag, I used up some American Crafts Details that I received 2-3 years ago for free.  It was one of those buy a certain number of thickers and get a mini-detail pack for free.  You know that I love my thickers and I love free, so I ended up with 4 packs of these suckers.  I finally used up some of them.  This was a quick and easy tag.  I mounted the AC embelishment to scalloped cardstock, adhered that to a Martha Stewart Doily and attached it all to a hand cut tag.  Super easy and I love how it turned out.

I know...I lot of explaination for 2 tags - ah I have wordy days every now and again.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
