Mojo 253

Hello and good morning to you all. First order of business, Happy Birthday to my friend Danielle! I hope that everyone is having a good week. Mine is going well. I was a Perfect Prince(ess) over at Freshly Made Sketches today! Thank you to all of the lovely ladies over there and a special thanks to Cindy for choosing my card. You can see the card over at Freshly Made Sketches.

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week Julee Tilman has provided us with this sketch…

I like when, on occasion, the sketch calls for you to not put things on straight which sometime can be more of a challenge than putting them on straight! For the first time I have some Halloween stamp sets. Ever since I became a Demo I am really into the Holidays like never before. I can’t wait to make some Halloween stuff to decorate the house! My card starts with a base of Basic Black Card Stock. I used the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Tangerine Tango for the background. The strip of very vanilla “ribbon” is stamped in Tangerine Tango with the Border Banter Stamp Set. The pieces of Designer Series Paper, mounted on Basic Gray and Basic Black, are form the Howlstooh and Scaringbone Collection. For the main image I used a stamp from the Toxic Treats Stamp Set and stamped it in Basic Black on Very Vanilla. I used the Labels Collection Framelits Dies to cut it out and cut out a piece of Basic Black, cut it in half and adhered it to the back for a little border. The greeting is from the same set and is stamped in Tangerine Tango. I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and the Paper-Piercing Tool, fast becoming one of my favorite accessories form the 2012 Catalog, to pierce the edges and flagged the one side with my Paper Snips. The image and greeting are both mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The rosette is also made from the Howlstooth and Scaringbone DSP and I used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and the Owl Builder Punch for the circles in the middle. I’m having so much fun using all of the products from both of the catalogs! I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card and thank you so much for visiting! Have an amazing day!

Mojo 252 and Sneak Peek

Good morning peeps! How is everyone doing today? I’m doing pretty good, made it through Monday unscathed! I hope the same holds true for all of you. Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week Julee Tilman has give us the round or square choice…

I went with square as I always do. I know, I need to mix it up but I really like the square card better than the round one. The base of my card is Gumball Green Card Stock. I added two different pieces of Be Of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper for the background. The flagged piece of Very Vanilla is pierced using the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. The rectangle on top of that consists of a piece of Very Vanilla that is embossed with the new Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder* and mounted to a piece of Gumball Green. The Cherry Cobbler scalloped edge was created using the Adorning Accents Edgelits and adhered to the back before I adhered the whole thing to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the Circles #2 Bigz Original Die to cut out the Gumball Green circle, Paper-Pierced that too and adhered it to a piece of Cherry Cobbler that I punched out with the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. The greeting is from the Merry & Type Stamp Set and is stamped in Gumball Green and punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch. Two SIlver Mini Brads give it a little bling. The ornaments are from the new Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set* and are stamped in Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green. I used the coordinating Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies to cut them out and adhered then to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the new bundles that they have in the Holiday Catalog, they save you 15% when you purchase the stamp set and coordinating framelits together. Today is the last day to take advantage of the Reason to Smile Promotion and bonus $50 Host(ess) promotion. Tomorrow marks the start of the Holiday Catalog order. So many decisions! LOL! I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Thank you very much for stopping by and have yourselves a great day!

Mojo 251 and Sneak Peek

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday! Tuesday is better than Monday but not by much! It rained here a bit yesterday but I think it’s supposed to be nice today. I have some swaps to get done for a meeting on Thursday so I will be busy later!

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. The weeks sketch is provided to us by Carole Burrage…

What a nice simple sketch for this week, thanks Carole! The base of my card is Real Red Card Stock. I added a piece of Crumb Cake for a simple background layer. The piece of Real Red on the left is embossed using the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on Real Red Card Stock. For the two pieces on the right I used the Clockworks Stamp Set and stamped the top image three times and the bottom image once in Real Red. The circle in the middle is a pice of Soft Suede punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. I used the Affection Collection Stamp Set* for the scalloped cloud, stamped in Crumb Cake, and the wings which are stamped in Real Red. The pocket watch is also from the Clockworks Stamp Set and is stamped in Soft Suede. The clock face is stamped in Real Red and punched out with the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch. The hands are stamped in Soft Suede and I used a Metallic 3/16″ Brad in the center and then mounted it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The cool ribbon treatment uses one of the new Round Designer Ribbon Slides* and some Soft Suede 3/8″ Taffeta Ribbon and Real Red 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon. I used the Simply Serif Mini Alphabet to stamp the greeting with my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig. I really like the way the card came out and hope that you enjoy it too. Thank you very much for visiting to check out this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Have an amazing day!

I started my card with a base of Certainly Celery that I stamped with the large image from the Creative Elements Stamp Set. On top of that is a piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock that I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool around the edge. I added a piece of Primrose Petals Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon across the center and adhered some banners that are cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies in Primrose Petals. The next layer is a piece of Pool Party and on top of that is a piece of Primrose Petals that I also Paper-Pierced around the edges and flagged the bottom. They are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The next layer is a piece of Pool Party that I cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlits Die. I backed with a piece of Whisper White punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. The top is a piece of Certainly Celery that I punched out with the 2 3/8 Scallop Circle Punch and the embossed with the Perfect Polkadots Embossing Folder. I added a butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set stamped in Primrose Petals and punched it out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch. Some Basic Jewels Pearls are added for the body and it is also adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To the right is another doily cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlits Die in Whisper White and I added a piece of Pool Party punched out with the new 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch* from the Holiday Catalog. Some Primrose Petals flowers punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack are added with some more Basic Jewels Pearls in the middles. For the final touch I added a Vintage Faceted Designer Button with some Whisper White Bakers Twine tied in a bow and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot.

Mojo 249 and Sneak Peek

Good morning everyone! I hope that you all had a bearable Monday. My day was good, truth be told I am always looking forward to the weekend as I’m sure so many of us are!

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week’s sketch is provided by Carole Burrage…

I like the skewed middle piece to this sketch. I have to say that I had a harder time skewing the middle than I usually do putting it on straight! The base of my card is Rich Razzleberry Card Stock. For the background I used some International Bazaar Designer Series Paper and the the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on the pieces of Pacific Point Card Stock. Across the middle is a piece of Chocolate Chip that I use the Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies to cut the one side. The white piece is stamped in Rich Razzleberry with an image from the new Make a Mitten Stamp Set* from the 2012 Holiday Catalog. There are four stamps in the set that you can use for a border. The main images are from the Flock Together Stamp Set and are stamped in Chocolate Chip and Pacific Point. I mounted it to a piece of Daffodil Delight Card Stock and it is mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Made for You Stamp Set and is stamped in Tangerine Tango. I used my Paper Snips to flag the one and and mounted it to a piece of Tangerine Tango Card Stock. For the perfect finishing touch I added 3 Basic Jewels Rhinestones to the bottom right corner. I love the International Bazaar DSP because it has so many different colors in it and gives you a lot more options. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Thank so much for paying me a visit and have great day!

Hello everyone and Happy Independence Day! It’s so nice to have off in the middle of the week! I hope that you have an evening of safe fireworks watching planned for later. Today is my dog Winston’s most unfavorite day of the year. He will spend the evening shaking himself to piece because of the noise. He does it during thunderstorms too but July 4th is much worse. I have some parties to go to today and my friend Kim is out form the city to accompany me.

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This weeks sketch is provided by Carole Burrage…

SInce Stampin’ Up! doesn’t have any oval dies any more I used the Labels Collection Framelits instead. The base of my card is Very Vanilla Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Cajun Craze with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. To the top of that I added a piece of Comfort Café Designer Series Paper and I punched a piece of Very Vanilla with the Scallop Trim Border Punch to go along the bottom edge. The piece of ribbon across the middle is Soft Suede 3/8″ Taffeta Ribbon and I tied a knot on the right side and snipped it at an angel with my Paper Snips. The stamped image is from the From My Heart Stamp Set and is stamped in Cajun Craze. I embossed a piece of Soft Suede with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and mounted it to a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock. I adhered the stamped image and the backing to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the a nice finish I used one of the Naturals Designer Series Buttons and a Stampin’ Dimensional to adhere a piece of Cajun Craze that I punched out with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. To the center of it I added a Basic Jewels Large Pearl and used a Mini Glue Dot to adhere it to the card. I love the colors in the Comfort Café DSP and I really like the way the button looks with the paper and the pearl in the middle. I hope that y0u enjoyed this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card and thank you as always for checking in. Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Hello everyone and how are you all doing today? I’m doing well. It rained here again yesterday and actually was a little chilly out last night, however it’s nice and sunny and cool outside this morning. Today’s card is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Julee Tilman has give us this to work with…

Like I keep saying one day I will give the round card a try but for this week I went with square again. The base of the card is Gumball Green Card Stock. I used my Big Shot to emboss a piece of Primrose Petals Card Stock with the Petals-A-Plenty Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Then I cut a frame out of Whisper White Card Stock with my Paper Trimmer and the randomly stamped one of the images from the Four Seasons Stamp Set (Host(ess)) in Gumball Green. I placed a piece of Patio Party Designer Series Paper behind it and adhered it to the card with SNAIL. The band underneath the main image is Summer Starfruit and I used a piece of Gumball Green 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon down the middle. The large stamped image is also from the Four Seasons Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals and punched out using the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I stamped the image a second time and punched the middle out with the 1″ Circle Punch. The whole thing is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is stamped in Summer Starfruit and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. I really like the new In-Colors and the unusual combination on today’s card especially. I hope that you enjoyed today’s post and thank you so much for checking in. Have a great day! 🙂

Happy Tuesday peeps! How was everyone’s Monday? Mine was like any other Monday… not really a fan of Monday at all! Today’s card is for this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. The lovely Mary Fish has provided us with this sketch to work with…

What better excuse to use the new Postage Due Stamp Set than a card that needs some squares! The base of my card is Soft Suede and I used the Distressed Dots Background Stamp inked in Soft Suede for a little tone on tone texture. The greeting is from the From My Heart Stamp Set and is stamped in Soft Suede. I used the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies to cut it out and then I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack for the border. Two of the Metallic Brads add a little sublet bling to the greeting and I mounted it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a piece of Midnight Muse Card Stock to 1/2″ x 5″ and used the 1″ Square Punch to flag the ends. The stamps are from the Postage Due Stamp Set and are stamped in Midnight Muse and punched out with the Postage Stamp Punch. I mounted the stamps to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals too. This is a nice quick masculine card and I hope that you like it. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello everyone and welcome to Wednesday. We are cresting the hill headed towards the weekend and it only gets better from here! Don’t forget that today is the last day to leave a comment on Monday’s post for your chance to win some blog candy. Click here to got to the post and leave your comment. Today’s card is for this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. That clever Julee Tilman has given us this sketch to work with…

This was one that as soon as I saw it I knew what I was going to do. I started with a base of Island Indigo and I added a piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock that is embossed with the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The two pieces of Designer Series Paper are from the Fan Fair DSP and I used the 1″ Circle Punch to round two of the corners on each piece. The flagged pieces of Summer Starfruit are cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. I have to say that I wasn’t a fan of Summer Starfruit when I first saw it but it is fast becoming one of my favorite colors. All of the stamped images are from the Clockworks Stamp Set and are stamped in Summer Starfruit and Island Indigo. The gears are punched out with the 1/2″ and 1″ Circle Punches and the one behind is punched out with the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch. The pocket watch is cut out with my Paper Snips and the dial is punched out with the 1 1/4″ Circle punch. The hands are also cut out with Paper Snips and all of the elements are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the piece of Island Indigo that is cut out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies. The happy birthday is from the From My Heart Stamp Set and is stamped in Island Indigo and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies and also adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the way the Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit and Crumb Cake look together. And what a great stamp set and DSP for a masculine card. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Mojo Monday card and thank you so much for checking in. Have an amazing day!

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Half way there kiddies! I am super happy today because my new catalog order is coming this afternoon. I can’t wait to play with some new stamps! 🙂 Today’s card is for this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. The sketch is provided by Julee Tilman…

Everything on today’s card is from the new 2012-2013 Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I started with a base of Very Vanilla Card Stock and added a piece of Baja Breeze on top. Before I adhered it to the card I took a piece of Soft Suede 3/8″ Taffeta Ribbon and wrapped it around the sides and adhered it with some Sticky Strip. I used one of the new Naturals Designer Buttons and tied some Linen Thread in a bow and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot. The strip of Designer Series Paper is Comfort Café and I punched some Soft Suede with the Scallop Trim Border Punch and placed it behind the DSP and also behind the main image. The backing for the main image is Midnight Muse. I used the Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die to cut out the scalloped circle in Soft Suede. The stamp is from the Layered Labels Stamp Set and is stamped in Midnight Muse and cut out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies. I stamped it again in Baja Breeze and used the 1″ Circle Punch to punch out the create. The greeting is from the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and is stamped in Cajun Craze and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. The backing was also cut out using the Bitty Banners Framoelits Dies. I hope that you like this weeks Mojo Monday Card and thank you for taking a look. Have a great day! 🙂
