Happy 350 Cards & Gifts Week, friends! I'm super excited to show you some moxie fab projects from the issue to inspire you! Today we're talking card sets. Check out these yummies:
Birds for You Card Set by Cristina Kowalczyk, p. 13
Moxie Fab Alert: I don't know about you, but one of my favorite things in the world is to create multiples of a card design I'm in love with and give them away to my friends and family in a coordinating container as a gift for a certain occasion. Whether it be for a birthday, Mother's Day, a thank you gift, or a even a Christmas gift, there's nothing quite so satisfying as sharing a beloved design with someone dear. This one is sweet, simple, and oh-so-easy to make in batches.I know, right?
With Appreciation Card Set by Windy Robinson, p. 15
Moxie Fab Alert: Who wouldn't want to receive this g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s card set from little old you?
Peace & Love Card Set by Kim Hughes, p. 33
Moxie Fab Alert: Trendy, bright, and cheerful, this would appeal to youngsters and hipsters alike!
What about you? Are you "into" creating multiples and housing them in a unique container? What if we had a challenge in which you were asked to do just that?
And what if, instead of selecting the best of the best, I were to select winners randomly this time?
And what if two random winners were rewarded for entering our challenge by receiving a copy of this moxie fab special issue?
And what if I linked to their projects when I announce the winners on Wednesday, April 27?
And what if, at the end of it all, you gave away your beautiful creations, no matter how many you enter, because that's what paper crafting is all about--giving of ourselves through our craft?
If you are game, here are the details you'll need to have a random chance at winning this moxie fab issue!
- Create a paper crafted card set and container to give to someone dear.
- Upload it to your blog, click on the title of that post, copy the URL, and add it to Mr. Linky below.
- Tell your readers that you've created your project for the Card Sets Challenge in the Moxie Fab World and link it back to this post to encourage your readers to play along as well.
- If you don't have a blog, upload your project to this flickr gallery, copy the URL to your project, and add it to Mr. Linky below.
- Upload your projects by midnight EST on Thursday, April 21.
- Two random winning projects will be linked on this blog on Wednesday, April 27 and will receive a copy of 350 Cards & Gifts.
Ready? Set! Let the linky fun begin!

Great cards and I love this challenge. I make card sets all the time to give away. Thanks, Cath!
Great! I wil play too!
love the birdie cards ! I'll try to play - been getting lots of new papers - Tim Holtz, Echo Park, hoping to pick up some fun stuff on my shopping trip tomorrow.
oh gosh - how did I miss that frame full of buttons ? Super sale at Michael's, better go look for a frame like that - and better grab the mag too ! Cath - you are so good to show us all this !
Wow- these are so beautiful.
I want to play~!
LOL! I love the challenge. I don't usually create multiples, but I will definitely play along. :)
Love this idea! I have always wanted to do a card set for a gift, but never have....now I will! Thanks for the challenge to challenge us :)
BRILLIANT!!!!!!! I nearly always make multiples because it's nearly always the gift that I give for nearly any occasion. Fun! Fun! Fun!
I like the way these card sets are done, particularly the bird cards.
Beautiful cards, Wonderful challenge, I can not wait to get started!
What a GREAT challenge! Love your "what ifs"!! Can't wait to see what everyone come up with!
Oh my! My new scraproom will be finished and I can actually try this challenge. I've never made a set of cards yet, but I'd love to give it a try. Thank you for the inspiration and I'd sure LOVE to win this special issue.
I am SO excited for this challenge! Since I bought and read that issue, I have been working on an idea for a series and finally figured out what I want to do. I'm going to rush home tonight and get crackin' on it so I can get it submitted. Woo hoo!
What a fun challenge this was! It just so happened that I wanted to make a card set, so thanks for lighting a fire under me!
Great inspiration and such a fun challenge!
I have to say that I have actually never made a set of cards before that I have bundled together...so this is my first time, but definitely not my last! What a fun challenge!
I'm always making sets/giving them away! They make perfect hostess gifts for informal visits, playdates, neighbors, etc. It's a small cost to bring a big smile to make people feel special! I love that I can personalize them--one of my most gratifying stamping projects!
i think i created a new hybrid - a cross between and tag and a card. it is like a tag in that it is smaller than a card and doesn't open, and like a card, because it can be slipped into a gift box or bag with a room for writing a quick note. when giving a gift, we usually know who the recipient is, so the to-and-from isn't usually necessary.
Great cards sets! I have given cards as gifts but have never made a matching set so this was a fun challenge!
So many great ideas! Perfect challenge as well. It really peeked my interest!
I just finished a card set! That was fun!!
Perfect timing on this one...I needed to make a set of note cards for a friend> Thanks Cath!
Just entered my french balloon cards...So happy I played along with you!
This is what card-making is about---making, giving and receiving. What a fun challenge! Thank you so much!
I love this challenge! This is what I do...make cards and give them away! .......also, I am constantly inspired here so would loooooooove this prize!!!! .....thank you, Chanda
Great challenge!! Now to decide who to give them to :) Thanks for the chance to win.
Great challenge! I love to make card sets, but I had never made a holder before--the challenge was a nice impetus to finally make one. :)
Thanks for actually making me give my card set away. :) I sometimes hoard my cards, especially ones that I really love or ones that have won challenges. I do give a ton of them away too, but I need to give more, hoard less. Thanks!
Thanks for a fun challenge! My set is already on its way to Greece!
I had to make a set of cards for a swap so this challenge was perfect timing!
Almost missed this! This is a set I did a little while back. Hope it still counts!
Just the right kick in the rear to get creating this morning...thanks as always, Cath!!
What an awesome challenge, loved playing along :)
Thanks for letting me know about this fun fun challenge!!
Love all our "what if's ....." Cath! Thanks for this fun challenge!

Goodness! I love to make gift sets. Actually, I made these gift sets, posted and then found this challenge. Kinda backwards :) Thanks for all of your inspiration!
this is my first ever challenge, I am a newbie cardmaker! I decided to pop my challenge cherry (lol) doing this so I could at the same time make some cards for my group of best friends :)
I'm so excited to play along!! This is awesome : )
This was a fun project to do and now I have a ready-made gift for the next person who does something nice!
