KID MOJO!

Well, if you'll look below, you'll see the Monday Mojo sketch this week! Now you know I'm normally the pretty, kinda distressed, kinda rustic, , organized, coordinated kinda gal! Well, I decided to have fun with this one!

I don't make too many kid cards because my kids are all grown up!!! Occasionally there's a birthday or something, but it's not my "go-to"!  So, I decided to go that route this time & make a fun card! 

Here it is!

 I love these little guys! They are so much fun to design! They are from the Make a Monster stamp set! You have a choice of 3 cute "monsters" & 12 cute add-ons like eyes, mouths, horns, etc. 

 I used some scraps from the Summer Smooches DSP pack.  Using that one up quickly! That's a versatile pack with so many fun colors! 

The card base & mat is Island Indigo, and the coordinating colors are Daffodil Delight & Real Red.  

And the sentiment of course is from the new Itty Bitty Banners stamp set & cut so perfectly with the Bitty Banners Framelits!! 

You must recognize the Scallop Edge punch also! Who could live without that?!  

Know any little ones that may like a card like this?

Happy Stampin'!

SUMMER SILHOUETTES

The DIL Gina was over the other night after a long Saturday of "work" for a swim. So of course, now that I have brought her over to the "dark side" ( ;) ), she said, "MIL, can we make a card"?! Well of course I said, "heck ya"!!! 

So she had a blast making some birthday cards for friends while I worked on my convention swaps! 

Then we decided to make a card together. A good friend of ours just lost a very close friend to ALS-what a horrible disease that is.  We wanted to acknowledge our prayers & love for her with a card made from our hearts!  

Here it is!

 I just got a shipment the other day with this beautiful stamp set, 

Summer Silhouettes! I saw those flowers & knew I had to have it!!! It's soooo pretty! Tons of stamps too!  

We used the Natural White or a base, then the colors of choice were Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Gumball Green & Melon Mambo.

The paper is a scrap from Summer Smoochies. 

The pretty design behind the paper is actually a stamp from the set! Nice! 

 I "stippled" the tops of the blossoms with markers. Gina added the cute little yellow flowers for accent! 

The ribbon is 1/4" Night of Navy grosgrain-ok, it's retired! But it goes perfectly with the card!

 Oh, the final touch was some Dazzling Diamonds on the stipples just for accent. They don't really show up on the pic, but trust me, they're there!!!

The 2nd pic shows the envelope Gina stamped to match! 

We have fun stamping together! She actually booked her first workshop for the end of July!!!

I can see lots of possibilities for this stamp set! It's very pretty! 

That's today's card! Need any more details just let me know!

Happy Stampin'!

I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!

I woke up to some very exciting & fun news today!!!! If you remember, I posted this card in our weekly LNS (Late Night Stamper) challenge for paper piercing!

Well, I got the news today that I WON that challenge!!!! I am soooo over-the-top excited!!! 

First, I've never won anything craft-related before!

And second, this is a group of amazingly creative & talented stampers!!! I feel like I pale in comparison to their work!!! This was such an honor I can't tell you!!!

 If you are visiting from LNS, thank you so much!!!! You made my week-and it's only Sunday!!!! Please let me know that you were here!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!

This weeks Mojo Monday sketch was a little trickier than expected! Looks easy enough, right?  Well, that's a lot of elements to add to a small card! I got a little creative with it! Look!

  

It looks like Christmas colors in the photo, but it's not! It's Lucky Limeade & Rich Razzleberry with Whisper White! 

I don't use white often other than as a card base or to stamp the words on, but I think it looks pretty with this combo! The paper of course is the Summer Smooches! I love that paper pack!!! A little ribbon & Boho Blossoms punching & you're good to go!!!

The sentiment from the Perfectly Penned stamp set fits perfectly into the large oval punch, with a cut from the new Apothecary Accents Framelits for the background! I love this combo & think I'll be using it often!

 I also used the Bird Builder punch! Can you find where?
