Mojo Monday Lacy & Lovely Hello

Written by 2 Comments

I never knew that I would come to love Monday mornings so much.  That’s right, it’s Mojo Monday time again!  This first full week of December is cram packed and I was hoping for a sketch that would come together quickly, and I was not disappointed.  When I saw the trio of hearts in the Mojo sketch, my mind immediately went to the stamp set Lacy & Lovely.  This is a stamp set that is perfect for all occasions and one set that every stamper needs.  If you don’t have it yet, let me know and I’ll be sure to contact Santa to make sure that you get it under the tree this year!

Creative Tips:

  • I chose a background paper that wasn’t going to dominate the card.  The Designer Series Paper Stacks in each color family gave me the perfect simple design.  I chose the 2011-2013 In Color collection and used Pool Party.
  • To make sure that my Large Scallop Edgelit cut straight, I held it in place on top of my card stock with a post it note.
  • I kept the border of my greeting from the Lacy & Lovely set only 1/16” so that it wouldn’t dominate that space.
  • Pearl Basic Jewels are just the right finishing touch for the three stamped circles.
  • I used the 1”, 1 3/8” and 1 3/4” circle punches to cut out my images.

This card came together really quickly and the color combination makes a statement.  I absolutely love the look and I think anyone who gets this card will immediately smile, since that’s what it makes me do!

Lacy & Lovely Sketch Challenge

Written by Leave a Comment

I made this for the SUDSOL Sketch Challenge this week. The colors Night of Navy and Lucky Limeade are nice and crisp and turned out better than I expected.  I used the stamp set Lacy & Lovely; it’s rather easy to use and quickly becoming one of my go to sets.

  • Lacy and Lovely has three sentiment stamps in it: Hello, Thank You and Miss You – along with four images.  It’s a great all around set.

One of my other favorite cards with this set I did with color blocking – you can see it here.  Here is the SUDSOL sketch I used for inspiration:

Sketch155-001

  • I used the Circles #2 Originals Die from my Big Shot for the 2 1/2” circle, but you can use our 2 1/2” circle punch too.  I layered the smaller flower with a 1 3/8” circle punch.
  • The Designer Series Paper is from the cute little Festival of Prints DSP Stack.  It’s a great way to add that little flair to your project. You get 4 sheets of each design!

I stamped more images from this set on the Night of Navy for a little pizazz.  Since the cardstock is so dark, it’s hard to see.

  • The Scallop Edge Border Punch gives just the right finishing edge to the project – keeping in line with the circular images and providing that neutral break to the colors.
  • I love adding a banner for the sentiment, it’s fun, easy to do, and can be any length of size.  I make the cute cut at the edge with a square punch.

Be sure to step out of your box and play with lots of color today!  And if you don’t have this set yet, what are you waiting for?  Take it from me – it’s super easy to use!!  Here is another sample I made coordinating this set with our Delicate Doilies Sizzlits Die and coordinating Finishing Touches Edgelits. 

Don’t forget – it’s the last two days of our great Spool Ribbon Promotion! Choose a FREE spool of our rich In Color 3/8” Stitched Satin Ribbon with every $40 spent.  That’s an $8.95 value!  For more details click here. 

Creatively yours –
