Mojo Monday 537




I'm back with another card using the Mojo Monday Sketches. I went through my scraps and saw I had some reasonable sizes pieces that I could use to make this card. This is 4.25" Square Card. The Background is the ink splatter of Stampin' Up Marina Mist Ink. I didn't have a good way to make a splash so I ended up stamping the pad on one of my acrylic blocks and adding a splash of water. I layed a piece of white cardstock on top of that and then dried it with my head gun.

The Image comes from The Greeting Farm Layer Cake Clear Stamp Set (NLA)

The ink is from Stampin Up' I'm sure most of it's discontinued, but you can find similar in many other places. I'm just using what I have.

The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps Mini Messages (NLA) I added the dots around it using a black Gel pen and wrote "to you" in my own handwriting.

I finished the Card with some  Raspberry Timeless Twine



Christmas Cards Galore



Since I have had more free time I decided that I would take the opportunity to start on some Christmas Cards. I know that may be a bit early but each year when Christmas comes I never have enough time to create cards that I'm really proud of. It's always a mad dash to get something out in the mail and I never have enough. 

The best thing is that I didn't have to go out and buy anything to make these cards. They were all made with stamps that I already have in my massive collection. Some of the Stamp Companies have since gone out of business and the Stamps are no longer available (NLA) for purchase. RIP Peachy Keen Stamps and Scrappy Moms Stamps. I loved being back on your design teams back in the day.
