MOJO343 - Thank-you with Itty Bitty Banners

 

Another week and another Sunday for me creating another card. Actually, I created two cards using the MOJO343 sketch over at Mojo Monday designed by Julee Tilman. Tall & Skinny 

Here is my first card: (3.5" x 5.5")

Once again, using Afternoon Picnic DSP, but with different print patterns and color combination. This one has Crumb Cake, Island Indigo, Pool Party, and Whisper White cardstock. 

Created this flower long ago using the Fancy Flower punch and found it as I was searching for something. Therefore, thought it was perfect to use on this card. Added several basic pearls and cut a couple of leaves using the Besty's Blossom stamp set using Pear Pizzazz cardstock and Old Olive ink. Sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Banners. Second card is on another post.

MOJO 331 & PPA190 - Hearts A Flutter

Sorry for not posting lately, but I had an operation on my upper right shoulder and thus unable to make any cards nor post for awhile since I couldn't use my right arm after the operation. Still recovering but now able to manage creating a card with some help from my Mom and die cutting on the big shot, but she loves using it so no problem there. 

Again, my arm is still recovering and limited on how far I can move it, so please bear with me while I recover back to 100%. Actually, my Mom is helping me type while I'm dictating to her, since it's hurting quite a bit now.

The card is using the MOJO 331 sketch along with the Pals Paper Arts color challenge PPA190 which they are having this week. It's been awhile since I used this set: Hearts A Flutter and matching dies and so fun to fill this card with hearts and glitter.

The colors are from the color challenge, Rose Red, Blushing Bride, and basic Gray. Yes, I added a couple of hearts using silver glitter cardstock. Here is a close up of all the sweet hearts. Used Stampin Dimensionals in between the hearts to pop them up. For the sentiment, I used the stamp set: Itty Bitty Banners and Bitty Banners framelits. Final touch was adding some basic pearls.

Can't wait to work on some projects and cards from the Sale A Bration booklet and Newest Spring catalog "Celebrate the Everyday." If you need a hard copy of the catalog and or Sale A Bration booklet, please email me and I will mail them out to you. Don't want anyone to miss out on a one of Stampin Up biggest sale of the year!!

MOJO289 - Happy Birthday Vicki Burdick

I love this MOJO289 sketch designed by Julie Tilman and thought to use it for creating a birthday card for Vicki Burdick's Birthday! Lesley over at Always Playing with Paper has organized a linky party on her blog so you can add your birthday wish as a surprise for Vicki.

Although I've haven't meet Vicki in person, I admire her artwork and enjoy seeing her share her creativity. Her blog if you don't already know is called: It's a Stamp Thing. I'm sure you will love it. Best wishes go out to you, Vicki and hope you enjoy your birthday week and all year long.

Happy Birthday Vicki!

I used the stamp set: Daydream Medallions along with the matching framelits Floral Frames to create the center focal point but later added the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits in black carstock behind it to add a scalloped look for the base.

Added a 1 1/4" circle using basic grey and a 1" circle in whisper white. The sentiment comes from the set: Itty Bitty banner and cut with the matching framelits. Colors used were Real Red and Black ink. Almost forgot, to get the stripe banner, I used the set Hearts a Flutter and used the Basic Grey ink directly on the basic grey cardstock.

Here is a closer look at the embossing folder used which is one of my favorites called: Finial Press. Now that I'm posting, I realized it's retired already. Basic Pearls were added (you can color the pearls with a black sharpie to get this look.

DSP for this card is: Polka Dot Parade, Neutrals Paper Stack. Cardstock, Real Red Core'dination from the Spring Catalog, Basic Grey, Black, and Whisper White. Stampin Dimensionals were used as well. Hope Vicki continues to enjoy her birthday all year round.
