Mojo Monday #162

It is Mojo Monday time once again!! Today I decided to make a Round card....I think I am sorta hooked on them!! This one is for a friend who just lost her mother....I really wanted it to have a sympathy sentiment on the front but I just couldn't find one that fit....so that had to go inside the card.

I used my new Distressing Essentials kit from Stampin Up!! Itis must have for vintage cards....it comes with: 1 flat stamp, 4 distressing ink spots, 1 sanding block, an emery board, and 3 precision files. I love the precisions files....they are awesome for distressing the edges!! I can't believe I waited so long to order it.....order yours today!!!

Pun Fun.....a great stamp set

Below you will find two cards made with the Pun Fun stamp set.....this a a great set to have with so many fun images and sentiments. When putting this set together I did not attach the sentiments with the images....I cut them separately and added them to the edge of the wood mounting block so that I could interchange the images and sentiments.....makes the set so much more versatile.

Get you set today and begin letting you creative juices flow as you create cards for those young ones in your life. Pun Fun can be ordered here!!

Mojo Monday 160 & Color Throwdown 114

I was laying in bed this moring thinking about how long it has been since I made a card.....wow!! My last post here was for a CTD challenge....#109....that was 15 challenges ago!! I need to make time for some card making!!! Now that my Maine album is finished I think I will do better. I am heading to CA for a week with my hubby (business mostly but we are planning a few fun things too) so once I get back from there...then I will get my mojo back on!!

For today's card I used the Mojo Monday sketch (even though it's Friday) and the Color Throwdown color combo (Poppy Parade, Choc. Chip, So Saffron, and Pear Pizzaz). I flipped the sketch for my card. Stamped my main image in Choc. Chip, sponged my background with So Saffron, Poppy Parade, and Pear Pizzaz, and layered it on some designer paper to match. Added some brads, chipboard, ribbon, and stitching to finish it off. The stamp set is called Just Believe....a must have set!!!
