Mosaic Madness Sneak Peek

Don’t you just love stamp sets that give you unlimited inspiration?  Mosaic Madness is definitely one of those sets – the possibilities are endless.  For this card, I paired this cool new stamp set with another new Hostess set – Morning Meadow. One of the coolest features of this set is the matching Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) and Mosaic Punch.  Be sure to take a close look at this projects as I added some fun little details.

Creative Tips –

• I ran a piece of Whisper White card stock through my Big Shot with the Mosaic TIEF.  I decided to cut it smaller so that I could use it as a partial background.
• Tip – If you want to place the punched pieces over your design, be sure to really line your paper up with the side of the embossing folder.
• I chose some of our newest in colors to give this project a light and fun look – Coastal Cabana and Crisp cantaloupe.
• I stamping several of the mosaic pieces in Coastal Cabana and punched them out using the new Mosaic Punch. 
• To give the card a light and spring feel, I added a few little flowers using the Itty Bitty Punch pack in Crisp Cantaloupe.  Together these punched pieces make a nice combination. 
• Rather than cover up the edge of the white in the middle of the card, which usually is my instinct to do, I added a new detail – the chevron edge.
• To make this detail, I used the new Scoring Borders Plate for the Simply Scored Tool.  This fun plate has an overlay over the grooved plate which has tons of designs for you to add as a quick and easy embellishment to your project, just like this one.
• To me, the card needed a little something to help fill in the side, but not take away from the cool mosaic patterns in the card.  The floral vine from the new hostess set Morning Meadow in Coastal Cabana was the perfect solution.  I’ll be honest – I can’t wait to use this stamp again – I have so many cards that pop into my head when I look at this stamp!
• One of the cool things about this new hostess set are the sayings that come with it – you never can have too many!  The Thank You in this set is not stacked like I have it. but laid out next to each other.  I didn’t want my banner to go over onto the mosaic side, so I stamped the two words on top of each other and created a banner with a 1” Square Punch.  Click here to see my video on how to do this.



• To give the card a few finishing touches, I popped up my greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added the smallest pearls to my flowers using our Pearl Basic Jewels.

This was a fun card to put together and it really came together in just a few minutes.  The new Mosaic Bundle has the stamp set and punch bundled together at 15% off!  Add the embossing folder and you have so many possibilities!  I hope you loved this card – have a fun day creating!
