Razzleberry, old olive, whisper white and my favorite Cottage Wall DSP

MOJO 100, MOJOMARIA

Goodmoring Stampers,

I finally got a chance to work with a couple of the mojo sketches.
This card came out so pretty! The color combination really came together beautifully.

Stamp set: Always
Paper: kraft, sage shadow, soft suede, whisper white and parisian breeze DSP (retired)
I used the finial press embossing folder on the sage shadow paper. There is also a clear brad in the flower on the bird. Its hard to see but the bird also has a light coat of stickles glitter.



Here is the first Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I really like this stamp set..it is so much fun. As I was making this card I realized that I tend to use the beer stamp the most!! Hmmn, is that because thats what my hubby drinks?
Stamp set: Cheers to You
Paper: so safron, not quite navy, whisper white and the new Build-A-Bear SDP paper (in the holiday mini)
I used crystal effects on the mugs and its hard to see in the picture but I also used the new shimmer paint on the foam. Very cool!

ELEGANT BOUQUET EMBOSSING FOLDER

Goodmorning Stampers,
I am really liking the new embossing folders. I find that it makes cards so easy and adds just the right touch! So here is a card I made using the Elegant bouquet folder and the Thoroughly modern DSP (which I also love!) The colors on this DSP paper are so much fun to work with and very pleasing to the eye. It just makes me want to smile! The base of the card is kraft and the embossed image is Melon Mambo. I also used the Teeny Tiny stamp set for the sentiment. Scallop edge punch and all the oval punches, and of course some fun polka dot ribbon in soft suede.

STAMPING 411 #112

Hi there stampers,
I finally got time to stamp alitttle this morning!! Here is my take on the Stamping 411 sketch this week.
As I've told you before I have a very good friend who has moved to Canada...so with her in mind I made this card.

I used One of a Kind,Cold & Cuddly, and Hard to Say stamp sets
Basic grey, black,whisper white CS and the new Night and Day DSP (love it!)
I stamped the images of the animals and then cut them out and popped them up. I also made two of the signs and cut one out to face the other way.
I added a filagree brad and fire red square brad and the gingham black ribbon.
This is the sentiment that I put inside. They had to move for work not because that is where they wanted to necessarily go.
Well thanks for looking, hopefully she will smile when she opens the card!

HAPPY CAMPER

Hi there stampers,
We spent our vacation this year in Lake Tahoe with my brother and sister-in-law. To thank them I made this fun card for them. We had many visits from the bears at our campground so I thought it was very fitting to have the bear coming out of the trailer!
I used the happy camper stamp set and pines stamp set
chocolate chip, old olive, whisper white and some retired DSP
I used my hobby blade to cut out the door on the trailer and colored in the windows to look like light inside. I also masked the trailer so I could put the trees behind it. Then I popped the bear out of the door and made him holding the lantern with linen thread.

GIFTS

Goodmorning stampers,
It is so good to be home with my family. I enjoyed convention and my time away tremendously but its always nice to come home to a welcoming family!!
Here are a couple of gifts I made for my friends and roommates in Salt Lake. I made them the notebooks with some beaded pens (not pictured) I covered the notepads with DSP. I used the daisy #2 big shot die for the flower on the left and the scallop punch and flower sizzlit die for the one on the right. I punched with the word window punch and added a strip of cardstock to make the closure and then added the sentiment to the strip. I also made them a cute matching bag with the new fancy favor die and the butterfly die. Inside I put a small bottle of hand sanitizer, lip balm, mints and gum. I just love how easy it is to make really cute projects with the big shot!!
