Mojo 253 - Hi there!

Happy Tuesday! Here's my take on Mojo Monday #253.

 I struggled finding the right designer paper to work with this one! Nothing was working right!

Wine glass stamp is from Purple Onion and colored with Copic markers. The sentiment is from the Wordy Bird stamp set from Verve.

I ended up going with paper from Hot Off The Press and changing the bow to the top. Black rhinestones are from Kaisercraft.

Rustic white cardstock from PTI was used in front of the black card base. Spellbinders circle nesties used to cut out the wine glass and add the layers all around.

Thanks for stopping by! I'd enjoy hearing/reading what you think of this one!

Birthday Blessings

Hi everyone! Stocking up on my Birthday cards for my stash. Here is a clean and simple one for you today!

The sentiment and the flower stamped in yellow in the back ground are from Papertrey, Ink.

The black and white gingham paper is from Impress and I used the medium scalloped border die from Quickutz to cut the border. Circle nesties used for the sentiment.

Yellow grosgrain ribbon is tied using the Bow Easy.

Thanks for stopping in and have a great weekend!

Round

Hi everyone! I decided to step out on a limb and try something I've never done before and that is a round card. I used the Mojo Monday sketch #252!

Sentiment is from Verve Stamps. I used the largest scalloped circle nestie to create the card base and then added from there.

Designer paper is from my stash and I couldn't even guess where is comes from. As a matter of fact all the purple paper on this card comes from my scrap pile.

The flowers were purchased from Oriental Trading Company years ago, but they work well for this card. Leaves are punched out of green cardstock using the MS craft punch.

Thanks for stopping by and I'd love to hear what you think of my round card.

Fern - MFTWSC82 sketch

Hi everyone! I got this My Favorite Things newsletter in my email which included a sketch challenge that intrigued me! Here's the sketch.




Here is what I did with it.

Stamps are from Papertrey, Ink. I colored the vase using G21, 24 and 28 Copic makers, then cut it out and popped it up using foam tape.

The designer paper is from Hot Off The Press and the green cardstock is from Bazzill. I used the tab die that I just purchased from MFT to make the tab out of black cardstock. Circle nesties used for the sentiment.

Stamps are from the following sets from PTI:
Vase - Mega gracious vases
Fern - Turning a new leaf
Sentiment - Communique curves sentiments

Thanks for stopping in!

Cased

Hi everyone! I cased this card off of a picture on Pinterest. Changed up the stamps and added a sentiment panel, but used the same color combo. You can find the original card from Kitty here.

Background stamp is from The Angel Company and is stamped in Peeled paint distress ink. The leaf stamp is from K&Company called lotus floral stamps and stamped in Forest Moss distress ink. the flower stamp is from Inkadinkado and I used worn lipstick distress marker and misted with watercolor to get the effects.

Sentiment stamp is from Papertrey, Ink. Small self adhesive gold pearls from Reflections were added to both ends of the panel.

Pink Cardstock is from Hot Off The Press and the green is from Gina K Designs. I used antique linen to sponge around the perimeter of the white panel.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Mojo Monday #251 - Miss u like crazy

Hey there! Well, I did better than I thought I would. It's Wednesday night and I'm done with the Mojo Monday sketch - didn't think I'd be able to get to it until Friday. :-)

Sentiment stamp is from Verve. The little flowers are stamped using markers and the huff method. The stamp is from the former Angel Company. I added some small amber rhinestones from Kaisercraft to the centers of the flowers and the paper flower on the side has a brad in it. I haven't used a brad since I discovered self adhesive pearls and had to dust off the top of the bottle to get one out (giggling)!

Designer paper is from Making Memories which I cut up the last piece of for this card. I added a bit of faux stitching to set it off a bit from the light yellow background.

Thanks for stopping by!

In my prayers

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a good week! Mine was super busy and left little time for creating in the studio. At least I managed to get one card done today!

Stamps are from Papertrey, Ink called Gracious Vases! I just ordered the supersized version of this set with dies to match! I can't wait to get them!

The vase is colored with Copic's, cut out and then adhered to the card using wacky tack. Orchid is lightly colored with a pink using the colorless blender.

Designer paper is from Daisy D's and I used some really dark gray cardstock to layer/outline it so that it stuck out a bit. I colored the white tiny satin ribbon with a Copic that matched the mat on the main image.

I hate making sympathy cards, but I needed to replenish my stash.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Thanks for dropping by!
