Patterned Papered Dreams

For Cath (sans CHA) Blog Hop

:::IMPORTANT EDITED INFO: PLEASE, LINK YOUR BLOGS FROM VIRGINIA LU'S BLOG AS MINE DOESN'T SHOW THE LINKING TOOL:::

Hello friends and be welcome to a surprise Get Well Blog Hop for Moxie Fab Cath Edvalson! Yes Cath, we're hopping for you today :)

After reading your post about not being able to attend CHA because of the pain in your shoulder, we decided that if you were not hopping on a plane to California, you could comfortably blog-hop from home to see the cards we've created to cheer you up and wish you a soon recovery. This is mine...

This is our way to say thank you for all that times when you've brought us along with you to CHA, showing us all those fantastic trends and familiar faces, and making us feel part of the show :)

So without further ado, let's hop for Cath! Please, link your blog to the Inkliz tool down there and let the fun begin! There's another linking tool at Virginia Lu's blog (thanks SO much, partner in crime!!!). And thanks so much everyone for participating!

Hexagons

Hi there! What an original title for my post, uh? :) But hey, they're the star of the show today, so I guess they deserved to be on the title :) Ok, so I created this card for the Cutting and Trimming Challenge at the Moxie Fab World, and my color inspiration was taken from the current Runway Inspired Challenge. My tool was an Xacto knife. I used it to trim the outside and the inside of all those PTI hexagons that I had previously stamped and heat embossed in white (you'll find the hexagons in this set). Then, I simply adhered them to colored cardstock and trimmed again (hey, this is a great way to use your scraps!).

When my hexagons were ready, I fiddled around a bit with them while I decided the pattern I wanted to create. And then I discovered that they fitted as a pretty awesome flower!! Oh, happy day...

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cardstock: Canson; Stamps: Rosie Posie by PTI, Technique Tuesday (sentiment); Ink: Versamark, Versafine black; Embossing powder: Ranger; Other: Olfa cutting blade (a must!).

Hello

Good morning, friends! Today I'm popping by with a card that features quite a lot of die cutting. Also, it's possibly one of my favorite cards ever and that's why I'm entering it at the Cool Tools Week: Die Cutting Challenge at the Moxie Fab World. Lately I've seen a few amazing uses of PTI's Quatrefoil plate, specially by super talented Amber, who always inspires me to try new things. That said, here's what I came up with...

I die cut the Quatrefoil plate from white cardstock and adhered it to a white card base. Then I die cut it from a few colors and used the positive pieces to fill in the gaps. You can call it the "puzzle therapy card" because it was very relaxing to do ;). And you'll be left with 5 pretty colored Quatrefoil bases in pink, aqua, green, red and yellow to make a few more cards.

Thanks so much for visiting and check out the Moxie Fab World because there are a ton of tool related challenges going on!

Supplies: Cardstock: Canson; Stamps: Papertrey Ink (sentiment from Modern Basics); Ink: Tsukineko Versafine black; Die: Papertrey Ink Quatrefoil plate.

I believe in you

Hello and happy, happy, happy 2012!!! I've been a terrible blogger but I'm sure you will forgive me because we all know how crazily busy Christmas can be. In Spain celebrations are not over until January 6th, when we celebrate the Epyphany and the Three Wise Men (los tres Reyes Magos) visit every home to leave gifts for children and adults. I hope your Christmas was as great as mine! And without further ado, here's my first challenge for 2012:

You have to check this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge! "Create a Clean And Simple project using chipboard, for your chance to be a Guest Designer with the Girl Fridays".

I've had this huge sheet of Maya Road chipboard butterflies for a long time, almost two years!!! And I have to confess that I've been hoarding them because they're so cute... but I finally opened the package, yay!! I covered it with Studio Calico patterned paper. The vines die is PTI and the sentiment is a sticker from Cosmo Cricket. No stamping on this card, can you believe it? And by the way, you probably know this but this file set is the perfect tool for working with chipboard.

Thanks for visiting!

Supplies: Cardstock: Canson; Patterned paper: Studio Calico; Chipboard: Maya Road; Sticker: Cosmo Cricket.
