Stampin Up, Mojo Monday 368


Good morning stampers! For once I am here in the morning with todays Mojo Monday card, what a neat sketch, so easy to use and so adaptable.




I have mostly been doing fall and Christmas cards, we do have to start early if we are going to get them all done, and that doesn't even mention how long it can take to come up with just the right idea.
But I departed from that today. I love the Just Because sentiment, especially when you make cards up ahead of time, it's is useful for so many occasions, or no occasion at all.

Today I used Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper white along with my blendies.

The And Many More sentiment pack is really a great one to have on hand, so many occasions, it's hard to find something it doesn't have.

On a personal note, my surgery is coming up pretty quickly. I can't say I'm not a bit frightened, but I am looking forward to having a life again after a period of work to recoup. I hope you will hang in there with me if I am not able to make cards for a bit.

Mojo Monday 340, Thinking of you

Slow poke here.  I'm getting better all the time, but still have limits on how much I can do in a day.
So, yesterday the priority was Curves, and while in town, I had a couple other stops. By the time I got home I was bushed and took a nap in my chair. LOL

So, here is my Mojo Monday card, just a day late. I only used 3 colors, I liked Basic Gray for the card base is it gave more of a contrast then the Smoky Slate would have, and I also used Crisp Cantaloupe.

I used the Dictionary background stamp.  After inking it up with Smoky Slate, I stamped on a piece of paper then on my background piece.

The large flower stamp is Gifts of Kindness, and the smaller pieces are from Polka Dot Pieces. Got together very nicely, don't they? I punched the flower pieces out using the 1 1/4" scallop circle punch,  stamped my sentiment, cut the banner end using scissors and inked the edges of that piece a bit.

Candy dots finished it all off nicely.   The sketch used ribbon at the top, but it just didn't need or want that I don't think.





It was a pretty quick card, I think it could be used for many different themes, and the dictionary stamp works really well for masculine cards.
