Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger: Variations on the Theme!

This wonderful Tuesday Trigger was suggested by Carolyn King (thanks Carolyn!) and is a charming moose tray by Crate & Barrel. When I first tried to put a card together, nothing seemed to look quite right. Like everyone else, my life is so hectic right now with all the holiday plans and purchases. But after a card making break, I came back and started to see any number of possibilities. I used the same trees for all 3 cards and I think I could have done a dozen if I had time! What fun.........

Card #1 is the most whimsical. Love the little stick figure reindeer by Savvy Stamps. The wee little 'Joy' is from Papertrey Ink Mixed Messages set (the original one with lots of smaller sized sentiments). The trees are a Sizzix embossing folder. For two cards I used some Bazzill cardstock in a lighter green (color unknown) and sponged the trees with some New Leaf ink (PTI). I then embossed two of the trees on Pure Poppy cardstock (PTI) and cut out pieces that were then glued on. For the ornaments I just punched out circles. I liked being able to cut out strips for the tree on the right. Then the strips could be glued on to create a more haphazard shape! Background paper is Bitty Dots (PTI). Some Sakura sparkle and Dew Drops finish things off.

For card #2 I made a piece of patterned paper using Waltzingmouse Off Beat Backgrounds (love, love, love this set!). Bottom layer is another Sizzix embossing folder: Snowballs on Pure Poppy cardstock. Ribbon from stash and a little bauble from LSS.

Card #3 was inspired by the background paper by Teresa Collins. This time the trees were embossed on New Leaf cardstock (PTI) and sponged with Vintage Cream ink (also PTI). Some Martha Stewart twine and another little charm and done!

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for taking the time to check my blog. I love whenever you can leave a little note!
