Mojo 273 & Sneak Peek

Good day to you all! I do love a short work week, but then again, who doesn’t? I’m looking forward to this weekend and to another short work week next week too! The last two weeks of the year are the best! Do you all have some fun New Year’s Eve plans? I’m going with some friends to a another friends house, it should be fun. It’s so funny that I live so close to Manhattan yet I have no desire to go into Times Square for New Year’s. Must be the crowds that keep me away! I’m rambling, on to more important things now.

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week our sketch is provided by Teresa Kline…

My card features some more new products from the 2013 Spring Catalog. The base of the card is Summer Starfruit Card Stock. For the background I used a piece of Baja Breeze and stamped it with the Netting Background Stamp in Baja Breeze. All of the images on the card are from the By the Tide Stamp Set*. The coral on the circle is stamped in Summer Starfruit and the fish is stamped in Basic Gray. The strip of Basic Gray Card Stock has a piece of Natural 7/16″ Trim Ribbon* that I adhered around the back with some Sticky Strip. The seahorse is stamped in Summer Starfruit and the image next to it is stamped in Baja Breeze and punched out with the 1″ Circle Punch. I used my Paper Snips to cut out the fish and the seahorse. The fish is mounted to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the seahorse and image are adhered to the ribbon with Mini Glue Dots. For the greeting I used a stamp from Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched it out with the Word Window Punch. It is mounted to a piece of Basic Gray that is cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This is a great masculine card, especially for the outdoorsy type! If you have a fisherman in your life, well this would be perfect! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Thanks for visiting and have a awesome day! 🙂

Mojo 272 & Sneak Peek

Well, that wasn’t such a bad Monday as far as Monday’s go, except for the weather! It was rainy and dreary here all day today and still is this morning. The fine misty rain that just gets everywhere. How is the weather in your area? I have another sneak peek for you today. The stamp set is from Sale-A-Bration and the the Designer Series Paper and Framelits are from the Spring Catalog. 🙂

Today’s card is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week we have a clean and simple sketch from Carol Burrage…

Mojo272

I was laughing when I saw the sketch because I did something very similar with my post on Saturday! The base of today’s card is Raspberry Ripple Card Stock. For the background I used a piece of the new Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack*. For the main panel I opted for very clean, a piece of Summer Starfruit with some Raspberry Ripple Stitched Satin Ribbon around it and a knot tied on the right. The panel is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The three flowers are from the Bloomin’ Marvelous Stamp Set** and are stamped in Raspberry Ripple. I used the new Hearts a Flutter Framelits Dies* to cut them out. They, along with the greeting, are adhered to the card with more Stampin’ Dimensionals. Speaking of the greeting, it is from the same set and stamped in the same color. I used the Large Oval Punch to punch it out. I like the slightly bolder and different color combination and hope you like it too. What was your favorite product from today’s sneak peek? What has been your favorite so far? Let me know by leaving me a comment. There you have my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card, thanks for clicking on in today and I hope that your day is a nice one.

Mojo 271 & Sneak Peek

Hey there! How was your Monday? Mine was good, I had class last night and we made some bags and some tags. I also got a really nice early Christmas present from my clever friend Sandy and I’ll post some pictures sometime soon of them. It was rainy here all day yesterday and this morning too, but it’s also mild which isn’t bad. Have you gotten all of your shopping done yet, I haven’t! LOL!

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week Teresa Kline has given us this neat sketch…

Mojo271

I like how simple this is and I saw it as a great way show you some more new products! The base of my card is Island Indigo Card Stock and the background is a piece of Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper** from Sale-A-Bration. It’s great paper with all of the bright colors in it. The main panel is Whisper White and I stamped the images from the Madison Avenue Stamp Set** in Summer Starfruit, Tangerine Tango and Rich Razzleberry. I pierced around the edge with the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. Before I adhered the panel to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals I placed a piece of Pool Party that I cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlit on the background. The strip across the top of the main panel is Pool Party and the edge is punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch. A piece of Island Indigo 1/4″ Satin Ribbon** is adhered around the back and I adhered it to the main panel with SNAIL. One of the Sale-A-Bration Sycamore Street Designer Buttons** has a piece of Pool Party Bakers Twine tied in a bow and is adhered to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. The greeting is from the Bloomin’ Marvelous Stamp Set** and is stamped in Island Indigo and punched out with the Large Oval Punch, some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold that in place. So there you have a nice sneak peek of the product suite from Sale-A-Bration and another stamp set too! Did you enjoy your sneak peek and my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card for this week? Leave me a comment and let me know! Have a wonderful day!

Hello peeps! How are we all doing today? I’m pretty good, just beginning to muddle through the week. I have some fun news to share with you today. Have you seen the gorgeous ornament on the front of the Holiday Catalog… of course you have! Well, I love it but it takes more than a few runs through the Big Shot to make the pieces to put it together. So here is the fun news part. Someone that is very intelligent at the Stampin’ Up! home office has decided to sell the ornament as a kit! That’s right! You can purchase the kit with enough supplies to make 10, yes 10 of those beautiful ornaments! Here are the specifics:

Ornamental_Elegance_Banner(1)

Create 10 heirloom ornaments–or stunning tags to attach to a special gift.

The Ornamental Elegance Kit (132832) is $14.95 and includes:

  • Die-Cut Cardstock Elements
  • Cherry Cobbler 3-1/2″ Scalloped Tulle Ribbon
  • Natural Linen Thread
  • Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons
  • Large Pearl Basic Jewels

Now that is a great idea! Click here to go and order one or a few and get them in plenty of time to make for the holidays!

Told you that was some fun news! Now for today’s post which is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week have a nice simple sketch from Carole Burrage…

I was thinking of replacing the hearts with some ornaments but I decided to keep them. The base of my card is Very Vanilla Card Stock and to that I have added a piece from the Festival of Prints Designer Paper Stack. I used the Large Scallop Edgelit to cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler and adhered a piece of Crumb Cake to it. Some Lucky Limeade 3/8″ Ruffled Ribbon is adhered around the back with Sticky Strip across the piece of Cherry Cobbler. The greeting is form the More Merry Messages Stamp Set and is stamped in Versa-Mark and heat embossed with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool to pierce the edges and adhered it to a piece of Lucky Limeade before adhering it to the card. The two larger hearts are stamped in Lucky Limeade and Cherry Cobbler with stamps from the Joyous Celebrations Stamp Set. I used the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies to cut them out. The smaller heart image is from the Love & Laughter Stamp Set and is stamped in Crumb Cake and punched out with the Small Heart Punch. They are all adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I like the hearts on the Christmas card a lot more than I thought I would and I’m a big fan of the DSP. I hope that you liked my card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Thank for coming and taking a look and I hope that you have a great day!

Good morning! What’s up in your neck of the woods today? It’s supposed to rain/snow here. FUN! I went to my Stamp-A-Stack last night and got some much needed Holiday cards made. I feel much better now. I still have some more to go but 16 is better thank none!

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge. This week we have an interesting sketch from Julee Tilman…

I decided to use some Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper that I got from the clearance rack recently. It coordinates with the Merry & Type Stamp Set that is in the current annual catalog. The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. I used a piece of Old Olive for the background. Across the bottom is a piece of Early Espresso that I embossed with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The top half and the two pieces on top of that are the Letters to Santa DSP. A small piece of Cherry Cobbler creates the flagged piece. The image is from the Merry & Type Stamp Set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I punched it out with the Postage Stamp Punch and backed it with a piece of Old Olive that I punched out with the 1 3/8″ Square Punch. The greeting is from the Joyous Celebrations Stamp Set and is stamped in Old Olive and punched out with the Small Oval Punch. Both are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Who doesn’t like a little clearance rack purchase, especially when it coordinates with something that’s still current?! I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Thank you for stopping by to visit today, I appreciate it. Have a fantastic day!

Good morning! How is everything by you? Everything here is ok. Just trying to make it through the week! It was a little chilly and cloudy here on Long Island today and it’s supposed to be like that for a while. At least it’s not raining or snowing or for that matter hurricaining! Is that even a word?!?! Well, it is now! 🙂

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week Carole Burrage has provided us with this well rounded sketch…

Hmm… not as funny as I thought it would be! LOL! My card starts off with a base of Chocolate Chip Card Stock. I stamped a piece of Crumb Cake with the Etruscan Elegance Stampin’ Around Jumbo Wheel in Raspberry Ripple and adhered it to the card base with SNAIL. All of the stamped images are from the Daydream Medallions Stamp Set and are cut out with the coordinating Floral Frames Collection Framelits Dies. The large one is stamped in Raspberry Ripple, the medium one in Summer Starfruit and the small one in Chocolate Chip. The two smaller ones are adhered to the card with SNAIL and the larger one with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greetings are both from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set. The longer greeting is stamped in Raspberry Ripple and the Happy Christmas is stamped in Summer Starfruit. I flagged the end of the Happy Christmas and used a Naturals Designer Button tied with some Linen Thread for the embellishment. It’s like the Daydream Medallions and the Etruscan Elegance Wheel were made to go together. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Thank you, as always for your visits and comments. Have a fun day people!

Hello peeps! How was everyone’s Monday? Mine was ok, I had a lot to do and got it all done! I think that’s a first for me especially on a Monday! Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week Juliee Tilman has given us the following…

I really like the layouts that they come up with over ay Mojo. I have been on a bit of an ebay kick lately and I found this retired wood mount stamp set from 2008 called Glad Tidings. It has some great simple greeting stamps. I used three of them from the set. The base of my card starts off with a piece of Lucky Limeade Card Stock. I added a piece of Very Vanilla and stamped the top and bottom with Merry Christmas in Early Espresso. On top of that is a piece of Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper and a piece of Lucky Limeade that I embossed with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The panel in the middle is a piece of Very Vanilla and is stamped with another greeting from Glad Tidings. The left side has a piece of the velvet textured Window Sheet from the same DSP. On the right is a piece of Real Red 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon that I recently acquired from the Clearance Rack. A piece of Early Espresso that I cut with the Finishing Touches Edgelits is adhered to the back on the right. A Brights Collection Designer Button with a Basic Jewels Pearl in the middle is adhered to the ribbon with a Mini Glue Dot. The last greeting is stamped in Early Espresso and punched out with the 1″ Square Punch, I backed it with a piece of Early Espresso punched out with the  1 1/4″ Square Punch. Both panels are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the colors together with the vintage (sounds much better than retired! LOL!) stamps. I hope that you enjoyed my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card and that you are all set to have yourself a great day! Thanks for visiting!

Good morning everyone! How are you all doing today? I’m ok, still no power and it’s getting a little chilly here. I’m one of the lucky ones that has a nice warm place to stay. I really feel for the people that don’t. It has been exactly 7 days since we had power at my house. On a positive note I have seen tons of electrical trucks so I’m hoping again that today will be the day. They have come from all over to help, I even saw a few from Joplin Missouri, they had an incredibly tough time with the tornado and it’s great to see them here able to help us now. So a big thanks to everyone that is doing what they can to get us back to a civilized life here in New York. I won’t even comment on the gas issue, that has gotten way out of hand!

Happy time! Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week we have a sketch from Julee Tilman…

I’m loving the flagged items as always! My card starts off with a base of Early Espresso Card Stock. I used the Woodgrain Background Stamp inked up in some Illuminate Glimmer Ink. I find that it takes a while to dry but the end result is worth the wait. A flagged piece of Primrose Petals makes the next layer. The next two layers are pieces from the Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Paper Pack. The top most layer is backed by a piece of Very Vanilla. I cut a piece of Brushed Silver Card Stock with the Snow Flurry Bigz Die. For a little change of pace I stamped a butterfly from the Papillion Potpourri Stamp Set in Primrose Petals and punched it out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch. Both are mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals. I flagged the end and used a Vintage Faceted Designer Button with a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper in the center on the left side. I hope that you enjoyed my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card for this week. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of your comments, they always make me smile! I hope that you all have a great day and thank you so much for checking in with me today!

Hello everyone! Not the best morning here on Long Island. The wind here was incredible. The fence in the yard blew down and so did the front gate, I couldn’t get in the back. So many trees down and we have had no power since 6:30 yesterday. Thank god for the generator! Hopefully the worst is over and that all of you in the area affected by the storm made it through ok.

Now on to happier things, before the power went out I made my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. This week’s sketch is provided by Julee Tilman…

We won’t even address the round or square this week! I did a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 square card. The base of my card is Very Vanilla Card Stock. I used my Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool to pierce the edge of the larger and smaller pieces of Early Espresso. On top of the larger piece of Early Espresso we have a piece of Primrose Petals that I stamped in Primrose Petals with the Good Cheer Builder Wheel. I used the Scallop Trim Border and Scallop Trim Corner Punches to edge a square piece of Very Vanilla to place on top of that adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Next comes the smaller Early Espresso piece and another piece of Primrose Petals. The image is from the Scentsational Season Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso and cut out with the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies. The greeting is from the Mixed Medley Host(ess) Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals and punched out with the 3/4″ Circle Punch. They are both adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope you enjoyed my multi-layered Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Thank you for checking in with me today and I hope that all of you affected by the storm weathered it well. Have a better day!

Hello there! Glad to see you again! Happy Tuesday! Did everyone have a good Monday? Mine was ok, got a lot more stuff done yesterday than I thought I would and that’s always a good thing! Today’s post id for this Week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week our sketch is provided by Teresa Kline…

A fun sketch indeed! My card starts off withe a base of Very Vanilla Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Always Artichoke with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The piece in the middle is River Rock, by far my most neglected color. I used the Snowflake Party Builder Wheel inked in Always Artichoke to make my own Designer Series Paper. The Scallop Edge Border Punch and some Very Vanilla make the scallop  along the bottom and I adhered it to the card with some SNAIL. The stamped image is from the Scentsational Season Stamp Set and is stamped in Always Artichoke, the star is stamped in Bravo Burgundy and I cut it out with my Paper Snips. I used the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch to punch it out. A piece of Bravo Burgundy is pierced along the edge with the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. I adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flagged strip is stamped in Bravo Burgundy using the Border Banter Stamp Set. I edged it with the Bravo Burgundy Stampin’ Write Marker before I adhered it to the panel with SNAIL. I used the 3/4″ Circle Punch to punch out a piece of Always Artichoke the create the backing for the River Rock star that I cut out and used my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to make. They are both adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the color combination, it gives the card an older feel without any distressing. The little 3D star is probably my favorite piece! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Thank you for checking in and have yourselves a fun day! 🙂
