Three Little Words

It seems here lately that I can’t sneak away to my scrap room without my 4 year old grandson, Dylan being right by my side.  It doesn’t matter the chore, he is up for the task.  Anything to be able to get to play with Nana’s toys.  He’s a really good helper. 

Every time we start to make a card, he does his best to convince me to use his favorite color, Pacific Point.  I like Pacific Point, too.  It’s such a fun & happy color. 

Stamp sets used are:  Three Little Words & Sincere Salutations. 

Colors used are:  Whisper White, Pacific Point, & Marina Mist.

Teal Thanks

Greetings Stampers!  I absolutely LOVE Taken with Teal and it disappoints me that the color was discontinued.  I really wish I had the money at the time and I would have stocked up on the discontinued color and others.  Sigh…  There is the chance, though that the color may come back in the future as an “in color”.  Who knows!

This card was inspired by Sandi MacIver at Stamping with Sandi.  She is truly a creative genius as far as I’m concerned.   She’s one of my favorites that I go to when I’m looking for my Mojo.

This card was created using the following tools / supplies:

• Bigz Beautiful Butterflies die
• Embosslits Beautiful Wings
• Four Frames Stamp Set
• Just Believe Stamp Set
• Style Beautiful (background on label)
• Halfback Pearls
• Linen Thread
• Decorative Label Punch
• Dimensionals

Only half of the butterflies are adhered to the card, I was working on the image of them looking like they were fluttering and flying off the card.

Here is a close-up of the sentiment.  I used one of the stamps from Style Beautiful as a background on the sentiment tag.  It’s hard to see in the picture, but it’s there.

Mojo Floret Thank You

I seemed to have a really hard time getting this design to come to form.  I’m thinking it was because of the Simply Scrappin’ set I was using.  Sigh.  I seemed to struggle with this card from the very beginning, I think that’s why I wasn’t very happy with how it turned out.  It seems to be lacking something, but I didn’t want it to be too busy and wanted to stay as close to the sketch as possible.

Hearts from the Heart

When I first started out with this card, I was CASE’ing it from Kathy Black's project, but once I got started, it took on a life and identity all it’s own.  Looking at the two, you would never guess they were supposed to be alike. 

There are hearts everywhere on this card from the embossed hearts on the base, the little hearts on the white piece, the heart Build-a-Brads, and the double combined hearts.  The sentiment is embossed in red embossing powder.  I hope you like it!

Love You Much - Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge entry

Greetings Stampers!

Here is my entry for Monday’s challenge.  I used specialty paper for the bottom piece, shimmer red paper, and then Basic Grey and Basic Black for the remainder.  And Well Scripted for the stamp set. 

The pretty little flower is crocheted.  It’s a Fleurette from Stampin’ Up!’s Accents & Elements line that is now discontinued.  I think they are very beautiful and I love them very much.  I use them sparingly because they are no longer available., but thought they would be a good fit on this card.  

Here is the Sketch for this week’s Sketch Challenge from Mojo Monday.

Happy Razzle Day to You!

I thought it would be nice to create a lattice-type border on the side of a card. Once I did that, the white area looked too lonely and in need of something so I ran it through my Big Shot with the Flower Garden embossing folder. The Lots of Tags Label 2 that the sentiment is on is perforated around in an oval, so I cut the Whisper White along the oval to make it smaller and to fit perfectly in the matt I had created.
Colors used on this card are: Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, and Whisper White.
Stamp Set: Friendly Phrases.

Thank you very much for stopping by!
