Mojo Monday Thanks

Written by Leave a Comment

 

Don’t you just love the beginning of the week?  Yes, I know the weekend is over, but it’s a fresh start to another week!  Can you tell that I’m a ‘glass is half full’ kind of person? So this Monday I walked into my creative studio and thought what should work on?  I wanted a little inspiration, so I checked out what the Mojo Monday sketch was for today, and voila!  Here is where this sketch took me.

Mojo262

  • I grabbed my Artistic Etchings stamp set and immediately focused on two stamps – the Eiffel Tower and the round medallion. 
  • I looked at my Color Coach and the color Primrose Petals jumped out at me.  I quickly looked at the combination options and loved the Basic Gray, Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit.  I also liked the other options to throw in Baja Breeze and here is the result
  • Because Summer Starfruit can overtake a project, I decided to use it as a highlight color underneath my embossed header. 
  • I tried to use Primrose Petals and Basic Gray Ribbons, but the Summer Starfruit Satin Stitched Ribbon was the perfect pop to the card.  Obviously it too was the perfect choice for my crown embellishment.

  • I used the Medallion as the focus for the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower which is popped up on Dimensionals – I used the edging strip for this image since it is so thin – don’t throw that piece out!
  • For my banners, I stamped the medallion in Primrose Petals on Whisper White.  It gives this ornate look which is a perfect compliment to the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. 
  • To give a cool look to my circle embellishment in the center, I stamped the medallion and then used the points of the crown as a border around the edge.  It looks quite ornate.

I wanted the sentiment to be small, so I used Teeny Tiny Wishes and created a small banner to fly from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

This stamp set is a great set to try collage stamping with, but I just love the little touches it gave my Mojo Monday card.  I hope you will try your own!

Chit & Chat Challenge

Written by 2 Comments

I just love getting the week started off right!  I was sitting at my computer working this morning and saw an email for a Sudsol Chit & Chat Challenge come on the screen.  I thought – why not kick this week off right?!!  Sudsol is a great Stampin’ Up! demonstrator community that I belong to.  If you are a demonstrator and would like to find out more – click here.

So the challenge this morning was to make a card just like the provided sketch.  Here is my result!

I used the set Snowflake Soiree and made my own lace background using the second to smallest snowflake in the set. 

  • Tip – the key to making the lace is to not have any gaps and to actually overlap the snowflake edges.  Stamp in rows, starting at the top.  The next row be sure to overlap as well and have a snowflake placed in the gap from the row above.  It’s a beautiful pattern – especially on a large Christmas Tree on a scrapbook page. 

I just love the end result using Early Espresso, Lucky Limeade and Cherry Cobbler.  The Designer Buttons – Brights Button and Linen Thread are the perfect little embellishment to this simple and quick little card.  The criss cross of the linen thread is a signature of mine.

Ultimately, this will be a featured Holiday Stamp A Stack card this fall – so if you would like to make a stack of these and several more – check out my Upcoming Events Page – or RSVP here. 

I encourage you to now sit down and make your own version!  Happy Stamping. 🙂
