Day: January 6, 2015

Well, you will never guess what I get to do this morning?! When I get to work I can finally move my office!! The new one is all set to go and I will start moving my stuff back there as soon as I get into work this morning! Took long enough but will be worth the wait for the door alone! LOL! It got quite chilly here yesterday and we are to have a little snow this morning changing to rain later on. I ran out to Target last night around 9:30 and it was a balmy 22 degrees, that’s way too cold for me! Tonight I get to go and pick Andrew up from the airport! He is coming back from nice warm Florida just in time for the cold snap! He promised to bring the warm weather with him, he’d better! LOL! I’ll be glad to have him back though! 🙂

My craftiness last night yielded my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch…

As soon as I saw the little square I knew that I wanted it to be and teeny envelope and I went from there. The base of the card is Real Red Card Stock and my background is a piece of Smoky Slate. I stamped the Dictionary Stamp in Smoky Slate for a little tone on tone texture. The first and second panels are both pieces of paper from the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack. The first one is backed with Real Red and the one with the ampersand with Basic Black. I adhered a piece of Real Red 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon around the back and then adhered it all to the card base with a mix of Fast Fuse and SNAIL. My little Vellum envelope is made with the Envelope Punch Board. I cut the Vellum to 3″ x 3″ and punched it at 1 1/2″ all the way around. To cover up the adhesive I punched out a piece of Red Glimmer Paper with the heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack and adhered it with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The tag is stamped with the One Tag Fits All Stamp Set and is heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I used the Note Tag Punch to punch it out and threaded a piece of White 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon through the hole that I made with the 1/8″ Circle Punch. Another piece of Red Glimmer Paper is cut out with one of the elements from the Circle Card Thinlits and also adhered with a Stampin’ Dimensional. Three Sequins randomly adhered with Crystal Effects complete the card. I really do love the little envelope pocket for the greeting, it adds a fun little extra don’t you think?! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Tuesday! 🙂
