The Tissue Paper Magic Challenge Winners

Have I told you lately how much I love my job? Last week I got to work hard and play hard with the Paper Crafts team and the Go-to Gals, and this week I got to look at all the moxie fab creations that all y'all made for the Tissue Paper Magic Challenge. I am so impressed with the field of entries, friends! Thank you so much for your creative approaches to what has proven to be a very diverse product with which to work!

And even though I flagged a full 25 projects, the field must be narrowed to just 5. And so, without further ado, may I have a drum roll please?

Sweet Pea Baby Shower Favors by Heidi Van Laar

Moxie Fab Alert: One of the most innovative uses of crepe paper in the bunch, I just gasped when I saw how cute these are, how easy they are to make, and how perfectly executed they are. Go Heidi!

Birthday Butterfly Card by Amber D.

Moxie Fab Alert: Well how clever to layer the die-cut butterflies to add texture and dimension to this clean and graphic wonder of a card. 

Just for You Card by Julia Stainton

Moxie Fab Alert: Speaking of layering, I think that was the most common use of tissue paper in all of the entires, but this one stands out because it is so much a part of the focal point of the card. It is exaggerated and patterned, certainly not to be missed. And when your task is to use tissue paper in an innovative way, calling attention to this particular product is key. (Not to mention the superb design and color that this card has goin' on as well.)

Upcycled Tissue Paper Card by Courtney K.

Moxie Fab Alert: Courtney layered and stamped, layered and stamped, and layered and stamped to create this clean and graphic yet oh-so-dimensional card. Which, in and of itself, is pretty gall-durned cool. What sends it over the top for me, and maybe for you, too, is the way she's used a pen to outline the tissue paper elements to give them definition. Know what I'm sayin'?

Love Ewe Card by Savannah O'Gwynn

Moxie Fab Alert: And last but certainly not least, this cutie! I love that Sav has taken a tissue paper technique that we all learned in grade school and applied it to this sweet and oh-so-well-composed honey of a moxie fab card!

And there you have it, friends. The best of the best. Thanks to everyone who gave this challenge a try--and if you haven't clicked through the projects yet, I highly recommend it.
