Girly & Gutsy Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab







This weeks Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab is Fabulous! They're calling it Girly and Gutsy. When I saw the photo, my eye was drawn to that chandelier! It made me think of the Spark Burst Brads from Karen Foster Designs, one of my favorite embellishments. And, it reminded me that on my to do list is a little project of making a look for less of that same embellishment. So, I got out my pins and The Robin's Nest Dew Drops and tried my hand at a look for less for this weeks Tuesday Trigger (photo below).












To make my chandelier, I glued The Robin's Nest Dew Drop in the center of 4 white flat headed pins. I punched a white circle and glued it onto 4 yellow flat headed pins, and then blued more dew drops on top. Then I just created spokes with two pins each, heads at opposite ends. There is also a dew drop in the center.







I also wanted to share this idea I had for getting the perfect circle with your clear acrylic circle stamps. This stamp set is called Free Spirit, by Close to My Heart. It has been well loved and I have struggled in the past to get it lined up on my acrylic blog to make the perfect circle. So, today it occurred to me, to use my Creative Memories Circle cutting tool to get it perfect on my block. See my photo below. Try it!






The black felt letters are Anna Griffin Peyton Collection, and I cut the black circle with my George Basic Shapes Cricut Cartridge.
