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.

All of the products I used on today's card can be found on my Online Store or click on any of the products below to go directly there. Don't forget my customer rewards program.

MOJO288 & The Paper Players#141 with Best of Butterflies

Another week at Mojo Monday, MOJO288 although today is Sunday, last day to link up. This week's sketch designed by Sarah Bigelow. You can click here to view the wonderful cards already made with this sketch.

Also, trying to get back to playing more challenges as before, now that my niece has been born and my sister is now doing better. So I went over to check out what they had going on at The Paper Players and love the beautiful color challenge this week, so wanted to see if I could do a combo. To join over at The Paper Players, click here  to see the beautiful inspiration the design team has come up with. 

Most importantly, have fun with the sketch and color combo challenge. I was glad myself to work on a card and with this cute sketch. Here is mine below: 

Isn't this butterfly so cute? It's from the stamp set: Best of Butterflies that came out during April from the Best of 25 year stamp set collection. Did you know, if you collect 6 of The Stampin Up - Best of 25 year stamp sets, you will qualify to order 1 FREE stamp set of your choice valued up to $14.95. (Proof of Purchase is necessary to claim the free set).

Here I used the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits using Island Indigo cardstock and than went on to punch out a 1 3/4" circle. Than thought it needed something more, so added some paper piercing using the Essential Paper-Piercing Pack. 

Lastly, used the Elegant Butterfly Punch to punch out this cute butterfly and mounted using Stampin Dimensionals. The sentiment comes from the set: Petite Pairs. Hope you enjoy and have fun creating.

Best of Butterflies - available only in clear mount #133345

Delicate Doilies Sizzlits - item #126999 (I used the one on the left hand side)

Mojo Monday 243 - Betsy's Blossom and Floral District

Another week at Mojo Monday, MOJO243, with a sketch design by Julee Tilman. This week, there are two choices, either round or square since it's the last week of the month. I went with square as usual, but maybe next time I'll try out the circle.

Fun Fun and more fun.....with the new catalog that was just released June 1st and new items I got to play around with. This is a terrific DSP called Floral District which is a nice challenge for me with the bright collection, but really enjoyed it.

Great with Pool Party cardstock which is what I combined it with. As my main cardstock, I picked up Rich Razzleberry and embossed with the Polka Dots Folder.

Here I got to play with my new Edgelits (Adorning Accents) which I got a while ago but love playing with it. Hopefully you can see the embossed scallops which was created by using the Textured Impressions Folder that is matching set for it.

New ink color called: Midnight Muse (Bird) worked very well with this color combo along with Calypso Coral for the flower and So Saffron for the tail. For the sentiment, Petite Pairs was used again with Midnight Muse directly on the DSP. Stampin Dimensionals were used under the circles and Basic Rhinestones added for final touches.

 Card Size: 5x5

Circle sizes are 2 1/2" Olive Cardstock and 2 1/4" in Whisper White.

Hope you Enjoy!!

Mojo Monday 234 - Twitterpated and Blossom Party

Another week at Mojo Monday, MOJO234, with a sketch design by Julee Tilman. This week, two choices, either round or square. I should call mine Mojo Sunday since its always appears to be the weekend already by the time my card is up. Either way, it's always fun to have a new sketch to work off of. 

If you would like to join, click here to go directly to the challenge. Here is my card below....

Still working with this gorgeous DSP called Twitterpated that has such a beautiful array of patterned paper and still available in the Mini Occassions Catalog through April 30, 2012.

Here is a close up of the sentiment in Early Espresso, one of my favorite colors to work with and used the Petite Pairs stamp set for the sentiment. The Modern Label punch was used to correct a boo boo per say behind the square mat with Blushing Bride and also added a nice color contrast.

As for the other color of cardstock that was used, it's another favorite color of mine, Marina Mist along with the Curly Label Punch.

As for the flower, the Blossom Party Die was used to create it. Fast and simple and always love to be able to layer it. Colors used were Riding Hood Red, DSP, and Blushing Bride.

Almost forgot, 1/2" Stitched Poly Ribbon in Pear Pizzazz was also added to give it a little more contrast along with Basic Pearls.
Hope you enjoy!!

Another week sketch at the Mojo Monday, MOJO225 designed by Julee Tilman. This post will be short as I'm running out of time to post it up. Easy to join, click here to go directly to the challenge. Here is my card below.......

 

Used the DSP Love Impressions which I recently got and thought it would look great for this get well card.

The stamp set Petite Pairs came in very handy not only with the saying but the size of the sentiment. Also used the Owl Punch and for the leaf I used the Bird Builder.

Colors used were Riding Hood Red, Black for the square mats and Whisper White. For the Owl, I used Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight for the eyes, and leaf I used Pear Pizzazz.

Mojo Monday MOJO200 sketch - Tagtastic with Petite Pairs

Missed out on last week's Mojo Monday, but not this week. This week they have a new look, sketch designed by Julee Tilman and to celebrate they are giving away prizes. They will add one prize for every 50 entries (up to max of 8) and the randomly choosen winners will receive a $25.00 certificate to Verse Stamps. If you would like to join click here to go to their website. 

Here is mine

I wanted to play with some new DSP, so I grabbed the New In Color Patterned Stack and pulled out Island Indigo. This is such a pretty blue and to go with the new DSP, I went to choose a new stamp set called: Tagtastic (hostess set) and Petite Pairs for the sentiment.



For the cardstock solid colors, I choose Pool Party, another new color along with Lucky Limeade for the strip down piece on the sketch. It's always nice to have colors that work together so nicely.

There are many times when I stop and think what am I going to do here with this sketch, but lucky that this time it came along without thinking forever. I used the circle scissor plus to cut out a 2 1/4"  in Pretty in Pink DSP and a 2 1/2" in Black.

Like I said in one of my previous posts, my head has been thinking flowers, so for this card, I made another flower using whisper white cardstock and for the leaves, I used Build a Blossom stamp set and Pear Pizzaz ink. Almost forgot, I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch to add some contrast with the Lucky Limeade strip.
Hope you Enjoy!!
