Moxie Fab Stamp It! Cards Challenge

I love stamping...no shocker there! And I love a challenge!

So when I saw the Moxie Fab Stamp It! Cards Challenge - I knew I had to play!

You'd better get over there and play too...the grand prize is amazingly awesometastic...and all you've gotta do is make a stamped card! How tough could that be?!

My first stamped card is actually a SET of stamped card (you may or may not know this...but I have an addiction to sets of cards!)

With the summer months upon us, I am looking forward to attending lots of fun cookouts, picnics and dinner parties. And, because my mother raised me on the teachings of Emily Post, I know that the proper thing to do is thank the host...twice. Once in person and again by phone or with a written note.

Now, God would strike me down right here in the middle of this blog post if I sat here and told you that I always abide by this rule. I don't. But there is no better time to start than now. And there is no better way to start than with a cute set of summery thank you cards!

These one layer cards are stamped from front to finish...no embellishments, no dimensional adhesives...just stamps and a little coloring.

I did a lot of mixing and matching to build this little picnic scene...so I thought I'd give you the rundown just like I did in this post...

I started by stamping the bottom with
PTI's Background Basics: Gingham in red (pretty self-explanatory)

Next, I stamped the picnic basket and food using
PTI's Vintage Picnic set

To make those little ants, I used the tiny dots that are included in
PTI's Fruitful set...who even knew those were there?!

To give those little guys something to carry, I reached for
There She Goes Stamps' Daily Grind set to add that sweet little pie!

Last up, I used Taylored Expression What's Cookin' ? set to add a
little cherry to the ants' bounty as well as the perfect "Thanks for Dinner" sentiment!

I hope these photos are helpful!
