Five for Friday: The Big Finish of Start to Finish Week


In our final day of Start to Finish Week, I can't think of a better way to celebrate this moxie fab issue than to show you just a mere few of the stellar projects you'll find inside the pages of its folds. Check it:

Life is Better Card by Betsy Veldman, p. 25

Moxie Fab Alert: Talk about carrying the design throughout the complete card! Wowza!

Happy B-Day Card by Sherry Wright, p. 43

Moxie Fab Alert: The design on the inside of the card doesn't have to be complicated to be effective--and beautiful!

A True Friend Remembers Card by Jessica Witty, p. 54

Moxie Fab Alert: I love the simplicity of this carry-through both in design and in sentiment!

Gee, Dad Card by Layle Koncar, p. 67

Moxie Fab Alert: Here we've got a carry-through in style with the retro photo Layle used on the outside and the retro font she chose for the inside.

Get Whale Soon Card by Heidi Van Laar, p. 85

Moxie Fab Alert: What can I say? This is primo Start to Finish!

Pink Posy Mother's Day Card by Debbie Olson, p. 103

Moxie Fab Alert: This long, heartfelt sentiment is exactly where it belongs, on the inside of the card.

With Sympathy Card by Julia Stainton, p. 125

Moxie Fab Alert: Though difficult, it's important to write what's in our hearts when we're attempting to comfort someone who has lost a loved one. Here there's plenty of room to say what we feel in this gorgeous pull out that serves as the inside of the card.

A Bunch Card by Courtney Kelley, p. 137

Moxie Fab Alert: Is it a bunch of thanks? Or a bunch of flowers? It's a buncha moxie fab!

Your Support Card by Kim Kesti, p. 139

Moxie Fab Alert: When looking at the outside of this card, you're intrigued--and then pleased--to know what direction the sentiment on the inside will take.

Love is in the Air Card by Wendy Sue Anderson

Moxie Fab Alert: What's not to love about a pop-up inside that shows off all those adorable kids?

So how's that for a big finish? Leave me a comment telling me which of these projects you like the most and why--or if it's too difficult a decision, give me your top 3 by midnight MST on Sunday, January 17 and I'll draw 3 random winners to receive a copy of Card Creations: Start to Finish to add to your Paper Crafts library!

I've loved this week from the inside out,

~Cath

These cards are beautiful. Love Betsy Veldman's, Julia's,... to tell the truth, I love them all. What a talented bunch of women. Thanks for the inspiration.

christina #4635 said...

All of the cards are just lovely. I am a huge fan of Debbie Olson's and her mother's day card really speaks to me! Perfect in so many way.

Stacy H. said...

My favorite card is the Thanks a Bunch with all those bright colors and the cute buttons. Fun!

Angela said...

Betsy and Jess have two very different, but equally striking cards -- love the design and colors in both! But they are all, as you would say, Moxie Fab!!

melissa.flieg said...

All the cards are fabulous and I love seeing the insides decorated too. My favorite is Debbie's mother's day card.

Joan B said...

These rock! Can't wait to see the rest of the issue. I'm a huge Debbie fan -- she always has every detail just perfect doesn't she?

Chris Cross said...

How can you pick a favorite? These cards are gorgeous and adorable!! If I have to pick, I will go with Betsy Veldman because she amazes me with every one of her projects I see.

Carla G. said...

All of the cards are so great...but my favorite is the bra card from Kim Kesti! What a wonderful way to thank a girlfriend and the sentiment says it all.

Alyssa said...

oh their all fantastic! But you cant beat the papertrey gals-debbie, Betsy and jessica witty. What a beauty each and every card is. Love this callenge Cath, it has really made me look at my cards differently

Anonymous said...

mommyabbytommy said...

I love the cards, they are so great. My favorite is 'thanks for your support'. I smiled a little more when I saw that one!

Lori B. said...

Wonderful cards! So hard to pick just one- but Debbie Olson's was the first one to catch my eye. Love it!

Sara P said...

The Love is in the Air card is my favorite. I love the colors and the inside is just as awesome as the outside!

Kimmie said...

I love Kim Kesti's Your Support card. Oh and who doesnt love Layles card...shes rocks

JPScraps said...

Betsy, Jessica, and Kim's cards are my top 3!

Bibi said...

Wow, so difficult to choose! But I think my absolute favourite has to be the bee-day card, because "Bee" is my nickname, and I love the red/yellow combination. I also think the "support" card is cute and clever.

lynn said...

when i was looking at my start to finish, i saw julia stainton's sympathy card-and i loved everything about it-kraft-the turned down corner-plaid ribbon-all of it!

Eveline said...

The with sympathy card by Julia Stainton, I always truggle with this type of cards. But all the other cards look fabulous.
Eveline.

Kerry J. said...

Wow - they are all gorgeous cards but I love Debbie's mother's day card!

Lindsay said...

I HAVE to get this copy! Wowsers! My favs are Debbie Olson, that flower stamp is fab! But it is a close second for Julia's turned corner card, because I just love brown in any form. Thanks for the chance!

Regina (TheStampin'Bean) said...

These are all terrific, but Debbie's jumped out at me. It's so beautiful!

KAREN said...

My favorite is the retro card by Layle-she kept it simple and graphic on the inside and out.

ScrapMomOf2 said...

I love the color scheme of Julia Stainton's card, but Kim Kesti's bra card made me chuckle! They're all fabulous!

Katrina said...

My favourite stood out to me right away as the With Sympathy card. Its a unique design, and all elements are neatly pulled in with the ribbon and button embellishments. I think a handwritten note, and a beautiful card like this, really show that you care.

I can't wait to try that envelope style, I'm really loving it now.

Dana Grothaus said...

Boy those cards are inspiring. Can't wait to see what I can do on the inside!

everyday inspirations said...

Get Whale Soon - that whale is just too cute and it's different from all the get well soon cards out there

Love is in the Air - LOVE red, white and black combos like this

With Sympathy - very sophisticated and just a nice card to send and receive in a time of grief

Jenn said...

they are all fab!
but I think "a true friend remembers" is my fav

Sally said...

I would have to say Julia's, Heidi's and Wendy's cards are my top picks. I love the different style of Julia's card, it is refreshing. Heidi's has so many layers and obvious creative use of tools and I can see Wendy's card working perfectly with pictures of my niece and nephews. Thanks for sharing.

Tiffani said...

I like "...39...39...39", especially since I and several of my friends are celebrating milestone birthdays this year!

Rachel in Spooner, WI

Jan said...

I think my favorite is 'A True Friend Remembers Card' by Jessica Witty - just too cute. I also really like Julia Stainton's sympathy card - always looking for an appropriate sympathy card.

JeanFB said...

Thank goodness it's a top 3! My faves are Julia's, Betsy's, and Sherry's! Love that vintage feel to all of them, and the color combos are scrumptious.

Sharron said...

So hard to select just one--all are so different and equally inspiring! The ones that most stood out for me were Betsy;s, Julia's and Heidi's!

Betty-Ann said...

I really like Layle's gee dad card. The inside flows so well with the front...super!

scarthur said...

I love the Gee, Dad Card by Layle Koncar the best. I love the colors, the black and white picture - the vintage feel of the geometric pattern, basically all of it! It is so cute and clever!!

Becs Attwood said...

They're all so beautiful, I'm definitely thinking a lot more about what's going on inside my cards! I love the simplicity of Jessica Witty's card - the little pops of colour with all the black'n'white looks so great

Scrapamum said...

Your support Card is my favorite. The colors are fabulous, it's fun and quirky too. What's not to like?

Gwen said...

They are all amazing but I really love the total design of the sympathy card with the pull out. The thanks a bunch is adorable!

butterfly843 said...

I love all the cards, especially the thanks with flowers.

Kay said...

These are all beautiful, adorable and fabulous! Definitely too hard to pick just one!!

Jeni said...

The "Your Support Card" is my favorite! It gave me a little chuckle when I say it.

jen said...

Thanks for knowing I couldn't possibly choose just one! Kim Kesti's card cracks me up, Betsey's card is lovely, and Jessica Witty's card makes me smile! Love 'em all though!!

Stephanie said...

I can't choose!!! I think they are all fabulous! Debbie, Julia and Betsy's cards are so elegant yet touching, Heidi's whale card is clever and very sweet (love the dark skies changeing to light on the inside - what a great detail!), the button flowers, Wendy Sue's pop up card. So much fun inspiration!

~Q~ said...

The sympathy card by Julia Stainton is my favorite. The use of kraft and gingham makes it a card that shows you really thought about the recipient.

Geri said...

All these cards are soooo nice and I feel bad having to pick one (don't want to hurt anyone's feelings) so being a "tad bit over 50", I can relate to the 39...39....39 thing so I am going with Jessica's birthday card as my favorite :)

Caroline said...

Great cards, my favorite is Jessica's. Great humorous card to give to a long time friend.

NWFlamingo said...

I guess if I have to pick it would be "Get Whale Soon". I've always had a soft spot for whales.

KellyG said...

My top three : Get Whale, Love is in the Air and the sympathy card. Lots of great, creative ideas here, hard to pick a top three.

Jennifer Hansen said...

Kim Kesti's card - it's a hoot!

Mary K said...

I think they're all amazing, but my favorite is the "A Bunch Card by Courtney Kelley". It's bright and cheery with great texture, but not too busy at the same time.

travelingmama said...

They are all amazing! I love Jessica's, but you know I love a good, graphic design! Hope you have a great weekend, Cath! Hugs from Atlanta!

KimR said...

I really love the last picture holder, the bra card and the tahnks a bunch with all of the flowers! But seriously--they are all beautiful!

Lindzie said...

I love the "thanks for your support" and the picture of the bra! very humorous!

Tricia said...

These are all beautiful cards, so inspiring! I especially love Julia's sympathy card!

Terri E. said...

I like Heidi's whale card. What fun is that?

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Cathy said...

I love Wendy Sue's card with the pictures in it - what a great way to give school photos instead of just handing them out to grandparents, etc.

Mrs. Griffin's Language Arts Class said...

I love the bunch of flowers card! I could see myself doing that card. Thanks

Lynne said...

It's a hard decision, but I really like the sympathy card, and the whale card.

Zgirl said...

My top three...
Happy Birthday -- Its simple but oh so cute...
With sympathy -- love the concept of the card..the fold over, the colors, the button...
And Love is in the air -- I love pop-up cards and the colors

Ravengirl said...

Loving that bra card! Just too fun!

Lisa said...

These cards are too fun. So much inspiration!

donna calamari said...

I love Sherry's card because I love the colors and designer paper and I love symmetry. I love Julia's card because I love the turned-down front and the pull-out with the tab and the vintage flower (is that a stamp that i MUST have?). My #1 Is Debbie's card. I love the PTI flowers and no one colors them better than Debbie. I'm a pink girl and all the different textures of pink look amazing.

Sharon said...

I'm glad that I can choose 3--1 is too hard! #1:Happy Birthday card -I love bees, and love the colors she chose. Classy but cute. #2:Get Whale Soon card-I like how she had the whale diving in one scene, and floating in another. I also like the cut waves of different colors. #3 With Sympathy card-I love the turned back front. It hints at what's inside. Love the color combination. HOPE I WIN!!!

Sammie said...

My 3 favorites are Jessica Witty's, Layle Koncar's, and Debbie Olsen's.

Alexis said...

Very hard to choose, but if I had to pick just one, it would be 'a True friend remembers' I love the simplicity and the sentiment is hilarious without being too cheeky. Love it!!

Sweetsmilz said...

Oh, my goodness, I LOVED the "Your Support" card by Kim Kesti. What a cute, eye catching design on the outside with a sweet surprise of a sentiment on the inside. And I love the colors on it. I'm already thinking of who I can make something similar for. I love all of the great ideas I get from this site!

Gloria Stengel said...

All the cards were fab, but Wendy's was my fav. The inside was like getting a present AND a card!

Chris S. said...

All of these cards are wonderful! The two that inspire me to actually make them are Jessica's True Friend and Courtney's Thanks a Bunch.

Kathy (krolski) said...

I just love the cards by Courtney Kelley - so cute!

cgargus said...

I love them all!! Debbie Olson's stands out just a little, though. My mom loves pink and flowers, I'll probably have to copy for Mother's Day. Thanks Debbie!! (I am a huge fan of your work!)

Rose said...

Fun! On the inside of my cards, I write famous quotes and scripture verses.

scrapmin said...

All of the cards are fantastic. So hard to pick a couple. I guess I would have to say my favorites are Betsy's, Debbie's & Courtney's. Thanks for the inspiration!

Sandra said...

they all did a wonderful job- if I had to pick one, it would be the With Sympathy card.
I love the folded down pocket and pull out card
Thanks for the fun!

Sandra

Anonymous said...

The "bra" card is hilarious! Michele Kirkpatrick

Jen Cuthbertson said...

The whale card is my fave - so cute!!

Sarah said...

Wahhh don't make me choose....but if I have to Wendy, Kim, and Courtney..the last three.....The bra is just the funnest, the flowers on Courtney card are simply stunning and the photos that Wendy incorporated in hers were just spectacular..!!!!
But by no means does that mean that the others were not Fantabulous!

Barbara said...

like many I am a huge Debbie olson fan but they are all great cards

Carey said...

All of the projects are beautiful, but if I had to choose one it would be "A Bunch Card" by Courtney Kelley. I've really been into buttons lately and I love how happy this creation is!

lindagerig said...

I like pink posey. lindagerig@sbcglobal.net

Angela Fehr said...

Julia Stainton's card is lovely - I am going to have to CASE the folded corner and the envelope idea - beautiful!

All of these cards are Magnificently constructed! I have to say, however, as a mother of 5 kiddos, I am inclined to fall in love with the last one, the "Love is in the Air" with a space for the photos for all of the adorable munchkins! Love it!

I love the bra card! I used to sew custom bras so this makes me laugh so much!

All great cards, and very hard to pick one favorite.
Julia's sympathy card is lovely. I like the unique fold and the ribbon, as well as the insert idea. I'm attracted to it because it's a different format than a standard card.

All of these cards are fantastic, but my 3 favorites are: Wendy, Julia and Betsy's cards. I loved the construction, color and the inside of these three the best.

My first vote for Julia's sympathy card. Well done! Close 2nd would be Debbie Olson. She blows my mind. Closer 3rd....Betsy. All were fab!

The sympathy card is absolutely exquisite. And I have to say this has been my favorite week ever on the blog-the inspiration has been incredible and sorely needed by me. Thank you!

I love the color combos of the "Life is better" & "love is in the air" cards...but the rest are inspiring as well! :)

All of these are unique. I could not choose one, but these are my top three. I chose the True Friend Remembers because of its simplicity and cuteness of the message, the Pink Posy Mother's Day card is just beautiful, I love the clean style and the stamps used, and the With Sympathy card is very unique, and intriguing. I usually do not gravitate towards browns, but this one really spoke to me. I loved it, and think I will CASE this one, maybe even using the brown.
This was a great idea to use inside out as the theme for this week. Thank you for them all, Rae
I could not get this to go through without using the anonymous, so I signed my name instead,

Oh a fave.... very close run thing between 3 ( Julia's With Sympathy;Kim's support and Wendys Sue's Love card ... but final verdict has to be Wendy Sue's Love is in The Air

Patricia said...

I really like the With Sympathy card. It can be used in so many ways.

Jewls said...

They are all awesome cards but if I had to choose a favouriute it would be Betsy Veldman's.

So creative and choosing a top 3 isn't easy.

1. Heidi - Love the sentiment and that she has left space above the whale to write your message.
2. Jessica - cute, clean and classic.
3. Julie - love the pull out design. Any message would look stunning on that inside card!

I love all of them, each for a different reason. My favourite is Julia's 'With Sympathy' card - what an elegant and versatile design.

I like Betsy's card the best because it is difficult to find Happy Anniversary cards for your spouse, and it is sphisticated and has a great sentiment. The "Thanks for your Support" card is very cute and funny too.

I love Julia's sympathy card- so stylish and elegant and suitable for both male and female recipients.

Julia Stanton's card is my fav. I love how the corner is bent over. Very creative.
