Mojo Monday 264

If it's Monday, it's Mojo monday, love mojo monday. What a fun sketch today, I hope you like what I did with it. Here is the sketch

I just love red and purple together. And I recently bought the Sizzlits Paper Doily, it's too cool.
It makes a fantastic bag topper as well as looking great on cards.

Colors are
Real Red
Perfect Plum
Very Vanilla
Punches:
Paper Doily Sizzlits
2 1/2" Round
Scallop Trim Border punch
Decorative Label Punch
Boho Blossoms punch
Stamp set:
Blooming with Kindness
And the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder
Use 1/2 sheet of Very Vanilla folded over for card, make the next vanilla layer slightly smaller, emboss with the folder, ink edges with Perfect plum.
Layer the doily, then a strip with the border adhired to the bottom, retanglar vanilla piece over that. I used the gold marker in the Holiday Catty for the lines around.
Then layer the circle and stamp sentiment, then punch out of vanilla.
Ribbon (perfect plum grossgrain, retired) and punched out the boho blossoms, layered and added a pearl.
Thanks for looking

Mojo Monday 260

Another Mojo Monday, this challenge really keeps me on my toes. 
For this week, I have an anniversary card for friends of ours. They are in their mid 70's, were child hood sweethearts and just got married 5 years ago.
I'm a little late, but they have been traveling  in their coach and we are planning a tiny surprise. Their wedding cake was carrot cake and we will have a small one or carrot cake cupcakes waiting for them at their house in the fridge with the card underneath.  Don't want them to think we forgot.

So, here it is, I'm planning on putting a piece of Very Vanilla inside for my message.
Colors: Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla.
Stamp sets: Friendly Phrases, Four Seasons ( Hostess set)
Also used, Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder
Scallop Edge punch
Floral Framelits die set
Bigz L Fun Flowers
Designer Series Paper Stacks (Pg 162 in the 2012-2013 catty)
Daffodil Delight Seam Binding
I used the very vanilla DSP over the Night of Navy card base, it has a very muted design. The center graphic and the leaves are both from Four Seasons. I LOVE that darling little leaf, and it's perfect for fall.
Thanks for stopping by.

I'm a guest stamper

I'm thrilled to be todays guest stamper at Stampin Pretty. (www.stampinpretty.com)  I had a lot of fun coming up with something fun and ended up with 2 to choose from. Mary liked them both, so here they are.

The first one is a mini album made using the SU Framelit Labels Collection dies. I choose the size I wanted, cut 2 pieces for front and back out of chipboard. I used cereal boxes, they cut beautifully using the die and are heavy enough for your covers. I covered each one on both sides with Designer paper from one of the DSP pads, the covers were done in the Neutrals pad. Some of the inside was done using the Subtles Pad
I used colors, Pretty In Pink, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Gumball Green.
I used the Elements of Style stamp set and blinged it up with rhinstones.
On some of the inside pages I put a second piece cut to make it only take up a partial page and glued to make a pocket so things can be tucked inside.

I used my Zutter binder for this, but It might even look better with one or two binder rings as the edge is quite small on this die. You can also add ribbons to the rings and anything else you like to fancy it up.

Next I did a small gift bag, started out using a lunch sack, I embossed the whole top with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, then cut the very top edge using one of the 2 Adorning Accents edge dies. You can get a matching embossing folder that looks awesome with the edge die as well.
I cut the flowers out using the Bigz L Fun Flowers die. This is quickly becoming my all time favorite die set. So many beautiful shapes all in one set!
Colors, Rose Red, Pretty in pink, Daffodil Delite and Wild Wasabi.
For the leaves I used the SU Sizzlits Little Leaves die, I'm finding it so handy.
I punched holes in the folded over top for the ribbon and tried both a bow and tying it under the flap. Let me know which you liked best, I couldn't decide. So here is a picture of the other way.

I sure hope you enjoy these and that it gives you some ideas for your one projects.

Pals Paper Arts Challenge 143

Good morning!  I have a PPA ( Pals Paper Arts ) challenge card for you today.
This clean and simple sketch was done by Pal Margaret Moody.

Here is my take on this one.

It really was quick and easy. I used Whisper white, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede colors.
The background piece is from the Festival of Prints paper pad DSP that is in the Holiday Mini.
It's sized at 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" so is perfect for using on cards.
I layered Soft Suede cardstock under Very Vanilla.  The image from Element of Style stamp set.
I used Crumb Cake seam binding for the ribbon/bow and cut a 1 3/4" scallop Circle then layered the Very Vanilla after stamping the sentiment from Petite Pairs stamp set, and punched out the 1" circle.

Mojo Monday 259 and Christmas

I couldn't help myself, I did a Christmas card. It's kinda like when the stores put holiday things in too soon, I have to be ready, more ideas are better.
So, here is today's sketch.

And I have to put here that I am so sorry. LOL. I wondered off sketch. It's a darling sketch, but when I got started it had a life of it's own. So, here it is.

It's pretty simple and very doable.  I used one of the new incolors, Raspberry Ripple along with Whisper White. The stamp set is Snow Swirled, I'm finding so many ways to use it. I also used the Crochet trim, Stripes embossing folder, Dots embossing folder, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Holiday Ornaments Framelits, (from the Holiday Mini) and Glitter Brads.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Mojo Monday 258

Yup, it's that time of the week again. I missed a couple being gone from home, but am so glad to be home and am loving this sketch.

It's just a really fun sketch, so many ways to play. Now, here is my take on it. I might have gotten a little carried away with color, but it for sure is bright and happy.

Colors used are Certainly Celery and Island Indigo, I considered some pink with it, but all three would have been a bit much, but Island Indigo would be wonderful with pink.
I used Island Indigo for the base card. If you want a lighter inside to write on, just cut a piece of paper a little smaller then the inside and glue on. I love using my Whisper White ink pad for my sentiment inside. Be careful if you do, it's really super juicy, a light touch with the stamp is all that is needed on the pad and on the paper.
layered the base card with certainly celery embossed with the Stripes folder, then cut 2 strips from a paper in my little DSP Festival of Prints pad. The size of the paper pad works really well with cards, It's 4 1/2"x 6 1/2" and is printed on both sides of the paper.
I cute my strips at 3/4", measured the center on one end and put a pencil mark then cut. If you have a smaller square punch you can use that for your ends. I cut the flowers out from the Big L Fun Flower Die in both colors, embossed the larges Island Indigo and smallest Certainly Celery using the dots embossing folder. I punched out two circles and cut in half for the top, added a pearl to my flower, and stamped the Thank You with the Perfectly Penned sentiment set.
Thanks for looking.

Too Pink

We have done true blue, now it's Pink's turn.

I didn't start out to make this quite so pink, but as often happens, it just happened.  My favorite thing about this card is the gorgeous taffeta ribbon, this one is Pink Pirouette. It's just gorgeous ribbon.
Colors for this card are: Pretty In Pink, Pink Pirouette, Rich Razzelberry. The stamp set is Priority Mail, it's a great all purpose set. And I used the Stamp Punch.

I embossed the Rich Razzelberry using the Petals a Plenty folder, layered that over Pretty In Pink card.  I cut out a strip of Pink Pirouette about 2 1/4 " wide by the length I needed to fit, used my scallop edge punch on one side, then layered a strip of Pretty In Pink over top, inking the edges first.
Stamped, punched and cut out the stamp designs, Happy Birthday and Eat Cake and layered them on using dimensional spots.

I put another strip of Pink Pirouette at the top edge attaching the ribbon at the back side before attaching the strip to the Rich Razzelberry.

I hope you enjoyed this one. I have a Pink fend friend that is going to get this one.

Style

Love these colors and love this stamp set.

I made this one for a friend. Pretty in Pink, Cherry Cobler and the Elements of Style stamp set, and Petals embossing folder. I hope you enjoy.
