Mojo Monday 339, A Stampin Up Birthday SAB card

I decided to use my Gingham Garden DSP as I hadn't used it for quite a while. It was the very first DSP I bought this year.  I was lucky enough to go to a Home Office Regional last spring. As far as I know it was the one and only time they did that. And wow was it special.  At the end of the day we got a new catalog and we got to shop!  No one else had been able to see the catalog and still wouldn't for a few days.  We really felt special and that is a special memory. Also when I met Shannon from my group, we drove up together and shared a room, so a very special weekend all in all.

Ok, on with the card.  Daffodil Delight for the first layer and embossed using the Honeycomb folder, layered the 2 pieces of Gingham Garden then used one of the SAB stamp sets for the sentiment.  It's called See Ya Later, and what a fun set it is! If you think you'd like it today is the very last day to order. Just place a $50 order from any product current and choose it as your freebie from the SAB catty.

I used the Ovals Framelit collection for the sentiment and background for it.

The flower is made using the 1 1/4"scallop circle punch, the Petite Petals punch and the 1/2" round punch with a candy dot on top.   The other side has a butterfly made using the Bitty Butterfly punch.

That's about it, not hard at all and of course you can substitute what you have.  Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by.

Pals Paper Arts Challenge 161

Today we have a sketch challenge. I had a really hard time with this one, finally after making a mess of some of my paper and ink, the idea came.

Island Indigo mixed with Daffodil Delight and Melon Mombo.   Patterned paper is Gingham Garden (129310).
I am still working on getting all the different ribbons I need/want, and for this I needed a skinny one, so I used a retired ribbon. It's from the SAB last winter, I do love free, and I got 3 colors of this and some buttons for my $50 order.   It'll come around again with all new product, so keep watch.

I stamped using my En Francais BG ( 128562)wood (147790) clear,  stamp on Daffodil delight then punched out using the Blossom Punch (125603), then used the Flower Shop bundle (132727)wood, (132726) clear,  to stamp and punch the white embossed flower on top.  Over that I used a clay flower dabbed in Daffodil Delight. I stamped the sentiment in white Craft ink from Best of Birthdays, (132929)clear.

As always, thanks for stopping by.

Mojo Monday 291 and More new SU

Today I used a brand new package of DSP called Gingham Garden. I have to say that I told my friend Shannon who was at the regional with me that I wouldn't be getting that one. I really am not that fond of Gingham paper, well! There is very little gingham and lots of garden along with some nice smaller  patterns that are so perfect for cards and I couldn't resist.

This was round or square week at MojoMonday, and I chose square.

So here are the sketches to work from. Very cute, don't you think? Julee did a great job with these.

Before I list my supplies I need to tell you that I used a combo of new and current product, if you want any current product that is retiring, you'll need to get it ordered before May 30. On May 31st, the new catalog is in full effect.  Until then you will see a lot of the same new product being used as even as Demo's we can only preorder certain items.  So it's a great time to check out blogs and challenges and see what's being done with it before you order.

Masculine Birthday Card

I needed a card for my 14yr old grandson's birthday. He has reached an age where I can no longer get by with a cutest card. So sad, my 3 youngest grandson's are all 14 now, no more babies.

So, I did a card using a combo of old and new product.

It took me awhile but at some point I fell in love with this wood grain embossing folder, it's so useful!
I sponged on some of the Crumb Cake ink just to dirty it up some. The Patterned paper is part of the Gingham Garden paper pack, the whole pack is just gorgeous, this piece is done in Pear Pizzazz one of the new colors.
