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.

Here are some cards I made in the last few weeks

I made 6 of these cards using my Cameo 4 Machine

Center Panel Stepcards 
Banner Shape.

Mojo Monday 536

I made this card following the Mojo Monday Sketch  #536. I  know I haven't been posting on this blog in such a long time but I do still often make cards just have no time to blog them.

I used the Merry and Bright Stamp set  (retired) from Papertrey Ink.

Stamped using Stampin' Up Old Olive, Marina Mist & Real Red Ink, The star I believe is More Mustard.

Some of those colors might be retired as well, I don't know I haven't kept up on that.

The Pattern Paper is from My Mind's Eye "Tis the Season" 6x6 paper pack and the red is a scrap of recollections Cardstock.

The dies I used are some generic ones from amazon

Hi Everyone

Today i'm sharing with an adorable card for the younger set.

 This card was inspired by my nephew and daugter who are both totally in love with MINIONS from the Movie Despicable Me & Despicable Me 2

 

If you've seen Despicable Me 2 you probably known about the Evil Minions. I'm working on a card for that minion but I just need to figure out the hair :) So maybe you'll see that in the future

I hope you enjoy today's video

Episode 130: One Layer Masculine Birthday Card

Hi All,

Today I wanted to try my hand at making Clean and Simple Birthday Cards.

The entire project was less than 5 minutes start to finish, I didn't even have to edit the video which is a huge time saver

I hope you like it

Neenah Solar White Cardstock

Stampin up Ink: Basic Grey, Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron

Episode 128: Birthday Cake Card using Miss Kate Cuttables

Hey Everyone

I took the last few days off since my little one had her first days of school and it was emotially and physically exhausting for me (very early mornings!!!!)

I will add the photos that I took on the first day onto my School scrapbook Album. I'm having them printed via the Groovebook Iphone App. Once my photos come in I will post more about that

This week I am moving onto Birthday Theme Projects!

This project was inspired by my old sketchbook that I found when my sister was helping me clean/organize my craft room. Many Sketch Gems in that book that I will be working out of slowly but surely.

Here is my project

I hope you Enjoy the video

Hi Everyone,

Today I have another project to share with you. I am still going with the Back to School theme and I was going through my Stash and I found some adorable Simple Stories Papers from the Summer Fresh Collection

Although the collection is designed for "Summer", I think that the color palate is perfect for the transition into fall and most importantly back to school.

I combined my Summer Fresh papers with Some red Cardstock from the American Crafts Earth Tone Variety Pack

The Kraft, Blue White and Yellow Cardstock is from Recollections

The Orange Cardstock is from American Crafts Earth Tones

I used my Fiskars Apron Lace punch to create the white borders on each page
