The Moxie is back.....

....seriously, for almost two weeks I was in a mojo slump when it came to crafting.  But, it happens, and my house got really clean because of it!  Tee hee!  I have a few cards to share with you today!

The Moxie Fab blog has started the Olympics of Stamping today....so I plan on participating as much as possible!  This first card fits one of the themes....happy birthday.  It also fits the Embellish Mag current challenge (birthday card using pink, green, blue, & brown), and the current Jacksonbelle Tuesday Challenge (to use flowers). 

"Birthday Wishes" supplies:

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

Paper: Glitz Designs

Stamps: Glitz Designs (Maya Rose) & Papertrey Ink (Asian Fusion) 

Ink: Clearsnap (pigment: razzberry, green) 

Jewels: Doodlebug Designs & Westrim Crafts

Felt: Provo Craft

Corner Rounder: EK Success

Border Punch: Fiskars

Instructions:  Fold kraft colored cardstock in half to make your card base, and round the bottom corners.  Punch a border to striped paper and adhere to the top.  Add a thin strip of paper with three jewels to the top of a pink dotted paper block, and adhere to the top of the card.  Stamp the rose directly to the card, and then stamp the sentiment to the left side of the rose.  Accent with jewels and felt leaves.  Adhere two thin strips of patterned paper to the bottom.

This next card is based on Laura's Sketch 46, and Just Buggin' Challenge 25 (to use predominately black and white).  I think the Just Buggin' challenge is technically "over", but that is okay!  I still wanted to have fun with it on this card!!

Diecut Cartridges: Home Decor & Graphically Speaking by Provo Craft

Instructions:  Fold pink cardstock in half to make card base, and round the right hand corners.  Round the right hand corners and ink the edges of a damask paper block, and adhere to the front.  Punch a border to a dotted paper strip, and adhere to the left side of the card.  Tie ribbon around around the left side of the card.  Cut the chandelier and its layers at 3" using a Cricut Expression and the Home Decor cartridge.  Glitter the pink shadow layer and adhere to the front.  Adhere the top layer using dimensional adhesive.  Accent the chandelier and dotted paper block with pink jewels.  Cut "fabulous" at 1" using a Cricut Expression and the Graphically Speaking cartridge.  Glitter the cut and adhere to the bottom of the card.  Finish the sentiment using tiny black alphas. 

And just one last card to share with you today!  Yesterday the Moxie Fab gave us an awesome card by Kim Crawford to use as the current Tuesday Trigger.  I was inspired by the colors she used, and the pearls at the top of her card.
