My late Mojo...

A few weeks back I was going to take part in the Mojo Monday challenge.  I had all good intentions on it.  I had my card made in time, I just neglected to post it.  So now cleaning out my camera I noticed that I had not posted it ~ so here goes.  A day late, a dollar short...

This was for the Mojo Monday sketch 142.  My base card is Certainly Celery that I layered with Basic Black and some old DP from SU!.  I punched the edges of the DP and the Basic Black with the embossed diamond punch from Martha Stewart (thanks Betty!!).  I then added the ribbon to the panel before I adhered it to the card.  I stamped the image from my Fresh Cuts set with black ink and used my chalks to add a little color here and there.  I layered that on to a piece of Certainly Celery and Basic Black ~ I then added a couple of little scraps of ribbon to the back before adhering the panel down to the card.  I took a couple of rhinestone jewels and added them to the panel where the ribbon meets the image.  I added a butterfly and some more jewels to the top right side for a little more bling.

Once the card was all put together I added some stickles to the front panel here and there and I was  complete.

Do you like??  I hope so, that's why I do it ~ to share ideas with everyone.

Have a super great day and stay cool!!

Black Medallion

Here's another shot at the Medallion stamp. This one did not turn out like I wanted it to, but I still like the final result.
I stamped the image on to the Basic Black base card with versamark ink and sprinkled it with Chablis embossing powder. I was wanting white, but I have no white EP - how is that? I then stamped the Medallion image with black ink on to white cs then again on to another piece. I stamped the image from the Fresh Cuts set over the top of one of the Medallion images. I added some chalk to the flower of the Fresh Cuts image, trimmed the image panel and adhered it to a Barely Banana piece of cs then to the card base. The other Medallion image center was cut out with my coluzzle, I added a crystal brad and added it to the card base with pop dots. I took a sentiment from the Oval All set and stamped it with black ink to a piece of Barely Banana cs. I took another sentiment from that set and stamped it with black ink on to white cs, punched it out with my smaller oval punch, adhered it to the Barely Banana piece and added it to the lower right of my card base. Once I was done I added some stickles to the Medallion image here and there for a little more color and I was complete.

Stay tuned, I've got one more to show you...

Fresh cut Monday

Well here I am, another weekend under my belt. One more weekend closer to the BIG "40". Of course I pronounce it "fffffoorrrtttyy". I can't even type it right! I can't be getting closer to 40 - I was just 25 yesterday! How did this happen? 40 -ugh! I can say that I am grateful for one thing ~ I am a lot happier than I was when I was 25. And with age comes wisdom, and I am one wise guy *Ü*

Enough! I think that I just popped another grey just talking about it. Are you ready for some cards? Well ~ here goes.

One of my "new" favorite set's is called Fresh Cuts. It is so versatile. You can do so much with it.
The base card is Mellow Moss that I layered with some DP from The Angel Company called Kamalaht and some green marbled paper I've had forever. I stamped the image in with Mellow Moss and cut it out with my coluzzle then I layered it on to a layer of the green marbled paper. Before adhering it on to the card I added a length of ribbon to the card and tied a knot. I added the image panel then the flowers then I chalked the images flowers to add a little more color. I stamped the sentiment in Mellow Moss, punched it out with my word window punch and added it to a punched scrap piece that I punched out with my oval punch. I paper pierced it and added it to the top left of the card with pop dots and I was complete.

This card is basically the same, just different colors. The base card is a blue linen that I've had forever, that I layered a piece of TAC's Kamalaht DP to. I stamped the image with Night of Navy ink and cut it out with my coluzzle and added it to a piece of Night of Navy cs. Before adding it to the card I added a length of ribbon to it and tied it in a knot. I added the image panel and then the flowers. I colored in part of the stamped image with chalk then added the sentiment panel that I stamped in Night of Navy and punched out with my word window punch and I was complete.

I hope that these creations inspire you today! I might not make it back today ~ if I don't, see you tomorrow!

I am here!!

Barely!

We had some terrible storms last night, it was awful!! Here we are in the middle of the night in the attic because we had a leak in our room. I don't even want to ask 'what next?'!! It was right next to my computer. Oh, what would I do without that!!!

I know that I've apologized before for not being around, but I have an excuse. Me and my big ideas with digital scrapbooking. I've become so addicted to it that I want to learn more ~ so I joined a group called digital scrapbook place. Oh, it's wonderful! And there is a member on there who's been giving me "lessons" so to speak. She's very kind to take me on, and very patient. It's really amazing what you can do.

I know, I know ~ enough of the blah blah blah's. You want to see some cards don't you? Ok, hold on to your hat - here we go!

This first card I made a week or so ago. Betty left this stamp set with me to use and believe me I used the heck out of it. I love this set!! It's by SU! called Fresh Cuts. And yes, I had to use Chocolate Chip.

The base card is Chocolate Chip that I layered with Certainly Celery and Barely Banana. I stamped the leave images in Chocolate Chip and Old Olive on white cs. I then layered Chocolate Chip and Certainly Celery cs over that with a length of ribbon and the three eyelets. I stamped the main image in Chocolate Chip on white cs and cut it out with my coluzzle. I then cut out 2 more layers with my coluzzle in Chocolate Chip and Barely Banana. If you look close you can see that I shaded part of the image panel with yellow chalk. I added some small flowers to that panel and layered it with pop dots and I was complete. I thought that it turned out really pretty. I actually have it sitting on my desk.

For this card I used another one of Betty's sets. Isn't she nice enough to let me use her stuff? I'm so bored with my stamps right now and Betty's been kind enough to let me use hers.

This set is called Pretty Amazing. I stamped the images on to a piece of white cs and I tried to keep the colors like those on the DP Summer Picnic. I then cut out the image panel with my scallop oval nestie ~ I did the same for the panel I layered under it in Real Red. I took the Summer Picnic DP and layered that on to the card with some ribbon. The image panel was added to the card with some pop dots, as well as the bird. The sentiment panel is from the Fresh Cuts set that I stamped with Old Olive ink and cut out with my coluzzle. The layer under that is some scrap DP that I punched out with my Marvy oval scallop punch.

I think it turned out really cheerful, don't you?

That's all I've got for you right now ~ I don't want to spoil you *Ü*

I'll try to be back later to show you some more! Have a super great day!!

Ahhh, I didn't forget

Yesterday I showed you all a sneek peek at what I made - you ready to see the whole project?


Here goes!!

I had a friend ask me to make something for her using these fresh cut note cards, so I had to do it for her! I just love these. And I have no idea why I didn't get this set a long time ago!!

I took the note cards and stamped the image from the Fresh Cuts set with Positively Pink ink and punched out the flower. I then added the prima with the brad, added a length of ribbon and then backed the image with a piece of Chocolate Chip paper. I left the inside blank so whatever can be written in it. I stamped the envelope also.

The box is just a basic box made from Purely Pomegranate card stock. I stamped it with the same image as the envelope in Purely Pomegranate ink and them assembled it. The panel on the front is a carousel note die that I cut out of Pink Pirouette card stock. As you can see I stamped the Fresh Cuts stamp on to a note and added the flower (also stamped from the set in Chocolate Chip ink) and a brad. I then cut it out with my coluzzle and added a piece of Pink Pirouette card stock behind it. Then I cut out the next larger size with my coluzzle circle in Chocolate Chip and adhered that. I added a length of ribbon to the back before adding it to my carousel note box. I added a strip of the paper for a handle that I attached with brads and I was complete.

This set is basically the same, I just used the Fresh Cuts image with Chocolate Chip ink, added the prima and a crystal brad. I punched out the flower petals and backed it with a piece of Old Olive card stock. I added a little piece of Soft Sky card stock at the bottom of the note card. I stamped the envelope with the coordinating stamp in Old Olive ink also.

The basic box design is made out of Soft Sky card stock. I stamped it with Bliss Blue ink and assembled the box. I cut the carousel note die out of Old Olive card stock and added it to the box. I stamped the Fresh Cut stamp on white card stock with Chocolate Chip ink. I stamped the flower from the set in Chocolate Chip ink, cut it out and added it to the image with a crystal brad. I them cut the whole image out with my coluzzle. I cut another piece of the same size out of Old Olive card stock and added it to the back of the image panel. I then cut the next size larger out of Chocolate Chip card stock and added it to the back of the image panel. I added a length of ribbon to the back before adhering it to the carousel note and I was complete.

You think that she'll like them? I hope so, I think that they turned out nice.

Well ~ that's all for now. I plan on getting off the computer and creating!

Have a great day!!
Hugs,

Joani
