MOJO343 - Happy Birthday with Label Love

I liked this card size and sketch so much, I decided to create another one using the same DSP Afternoon Picnic along with the MOJO343 sketch . 

Here is my card:

After I finished this card, I realized that it's was a little smaller in length than my previous card. This one measures (3.5" x 5.25"), but I focused on selecting another stamp set so I can mail it out without much trouble. Therefore I used another stamp set for the sentiment.

This one is called Label Love and I used the matching punch. I also, used Stampin Dimensionals to pop it up. Colors used were Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, So Saffron, Crumb Cake, and Whisper White. Again, used the same layout, same paper, but got a different look as you can see from my previous post. Have fun and don't forget to check out the sketches over at Mojo Monday.

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.

MOJO342 - Thank You For You

Finally getting back into the swing and so happy to create, so I thought I would start with getting back to my regular Sunday posting of my Mojo Monday. This one is based on the MOJO342 over at Mojo Monday designed by Julee Tilman.

Also, I wanted to say "Thank you for all those that have stayed with me as a follower and who subscribe to my blog while I've been in recovery of my operation for me to get back on track again so I will be putting together a blog candy for a chance to win a surprise within this upcoming week". In the meantime....

Here is my card:

 As I was looking through my stash of papers, I came across this cute DSP Afternoon Picnic and couldn't understand why I haven't used it, so I went to work. For the base, I used Crumb Cake and went on to use Wisteria Wonder cardstock which I embossed with Needlepoint Border and Adorning Accents Edgelits.

Can you tell what I used here? Well I used Secret Garden to create this cute flowers using Calypso Coral and matching dies. Also, used the paper piercing tool to add a little more decor. Hard to see, but also did some fussy cutting on the flower to create some dimension and used Stampin Up Dimensionals in between. Sentiment came from the stamp set: Four You using Early Espresso ink. What do you think of today's card?

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!!

MOJO318 - Christmas Collectibles

Another week at Mojo Monday , MOJO318 designed by Julee Tilman and for me it's once again Sunday when I get a chance to create and post my MOJO for the week. Since it's the first Monday of the month, it's also contest week and a chance to win a Verve stamp set of your choice, so out come the paper and stamps to create a new card based on this cute sketch.

Here is my card below: 

This time around I went with Cherry Cobbler and focused on doing a two tone color Christmas card. Actually, one color if you don't count white. This one is easy enough to re-create and fun to do using the Chalk Talk Framelits, Christmas Collectibles stamp set, matching ornament punch, and the Season of Style DSP paper stack. 

Also, 3/4" Chevron Ribbon (Cherry Cobbler), 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon, and Northern Flurry Embossing Folder.

The sentiment comes from the set: More Merry Messages and here I did use another color: Early Espresso. Also, the paper piercing tool along with the Essentials Pack to give the tag some details which add a nice touch.

For the finishing touches, I added some basic pearls, dazzling details, and Stampin Dimensionals to give it a 3D look. What do you think of today's card?

MOJO317 - Best of Christmas

Another week at Mojo Monday, MOJO317 designed by Julee Tilman . Last week I wasn't able to play so I wanted to make sure to get this week's sketch done since I love square cards and this sketch. 

Here is my card:

 

Love this set: Best of Christmas along with this wonderful DSP called Winter Frost Specialty. Here I used Island Indigo, Whisper White, and Pool Party cardstock for the circles and mat and thought to add some glitter by using silver glitter paper as well.

Sentiment comes from the set: Petite Pairs and what better ink color to use, but Early Espresso. This card is easy to re-create and mail out. What do you think of today's card? Should there be some bling or the glitter paper is enough? Almost forgot, I used the Northern Flurry embossing folder to add some white snowflake in the background.

MOJO315 & Merry Monday - Best of Christmas

Another week at Mojo Monday, MOJO315 designed by Julee Tilman which I normally post on Sunday, but got it done earlier to join Merry Monday#79 challenge over at Always Playing with Paper by Lesley Croghan. What a great way to get a jump start again on my Christmas cards. I've been wanting to play for quite awhile now and figured to join 2 challenges in one. 

Here is my card based on this cute sketch:

When the Best of Christmas stamp set came out, it was on my order right away along with other items from the Holiday Catalog.

For the Merry Monday challenge: Snowflakes and Gray color came from the DSP called: Winter Frost Specialty. For the blue, I used Island Indigo ink and cardstock plus 1/2" Soft Sky Seam Binding Ribbon. Added some silver using Foil Sheets from the Holiday Catalog. I think that covers it all.

Don't want to forget, the button is from the Very Vintage Designer collection and added some dazzling details to give it some glitter effect. Ornament was punched out using the matching Christmas Ornament Punch and of course Stampin Dimensionals were used to pop up the ornament.

MOJO314 - Thank-You with Flower Shop

Another week at Mojo Monday, MOJO314 designed by the talented Julee Tilman and for me it's my Sunday when I get a chance to create and post my MOJO for the week. Since it's the first Monday of the month, it's also contest week and a chance to win a Verve stamp set of your choice, so out come the paper and stamps to create a new card based on this cute sketch.

Here is my card below:

I've had this beautiful DSP paper, Venetian Romance hidden and now finally got a chance to have some fun with it. So many color combinations went through my head since it has several terrific colors you can combine with and finally decided on Pistachio Pudding and Island Indigo.

Love this Stylish Stripes embossing folder from the holiday catalog for adding some texture to the background.

This sentiment comes from the Best of Greetings and was stamped using Early Espresso along with the die cut from the new Circle Card Thinlits. For matting the sentiment, the Decorative Label Punch came in very handy and perfect size for it. Added some 3/4" Chevron Ribbon in Calypso Coral. 

I just had to pull out this cute stamp set: Flower Shop and add one flower to this card along with Stampin Dimensional under it to pop it up. Actually, the entire card has tons of Dimensionals underneath each layer starting from the mat base.

Also, used Calypso Coral marker to color some of the areas in the flower and to finish the center, Dazzling Details were added to get it some glitter and shine. What do you think of today's card?  If you would like to join the fun, click here to go directly to the challenge.

MOJO312 - Lacy & Lovely

Got a chance to work with this week's Mojo Monday 312 sketch desgined by Julee Tilman. Once again, I used the stamp set: Lacy & Lovely. Here is my take on the sketch using several new products from the Holiday Catalog.

What's new on this card....paper called Season of Style (Designer Series Stack). This pack has 48 sheets 24 ea of 2 double sided designs so perfect if you wanted to make several cards. Yes, it's holiday paper, but as you can see here, I used it for everyday occasion. No sentiment was added, so I can decided later when needed.

Isn't this embossing folder cute: Pretty Print Textured Impressions. I love it and made sure to add it to my collection. Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler. Also new is the silver foil sheets from the Holiday Catalog which add the little extra I wanted using the Heats Flutter framelits. As always Stampin Dimensionals were used in between the layers of the circles. What do you think of today's card?

PPA170 & MOJO309 - Lacy & Lovely

The Pals Paper Arts is having a color challenge which I wanted to try so I combined it using the Mojo Monday 309 sketch desgined by Julee Tilman. If you would like to see all the wonderful inspirations, click here to go directly to the PPA170 challenge. The most important thing is to have fun with any challenge or challenges in this case.

Here is my card:

Here I used one of my favorite stamp sets called: Lacy & Lovely and started the background with one of the newest embossing folders called Stylish Stripes from the new Holiday Catalog. For the paper, I used the Regal DSP for the Crushed Curry and used Early Espresso cardstock for the matting behind it.

For the side flags, I used the Hearts Flutter Framelits and added some 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon (Midnight Muse). Also, here is a close up shot of the embossing folder in the background which I absolutely love.

For the center, I used the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits, than stamped the image using Midnight Muse and fuzzy cut, but before adding it on top of the doily, I added Stampin Dimensionals. From there, I stamped another flower and used my 1" circle and popped it on using dimensionals again. Added basic pearl to add finishing touches.

For the sentiment, I used a hostess stamp set called: Express Yourself which has a variety of words and perfect for any occasions along with the Word Window Punch. What do you think about today's card? Let me know, I would love to hear from you.
