Mojo Monday Challenge 255

Hey there!

I decided to follow along with the Mojo Monday challenge this week.  Although my mind is very much still on Christmas, I've also had to think about thank you cards lately as I need to make some for a very special friend (details later!).  I don't think I'll use the one below as it doesn't reflect my friend's style or colours, but it was outside the box for me and I used the colours mainly to try and use up some retired DSP that I love but can't use in my classes.

The products used are as follows:

*Whisper white card stock (100730)

*So saffron card stock (105118)

*Perfect plum card stock (101889)

*Wild wasabi card stock (108641)

*Retired DSP

*Retired so saffron ribbon

*Pearl basic jewels (119247)

*Decorative label punch (120907)

*Dotted scallop ribbon border (119275)
*Modern label punch (119849)

*Curly cute stampe set (W117014 / C120510)

Get out there and stamp!

My First Stamp Class

Earlier this spring I held my first stamp class.  I was very lucky that my sister brought along some creative friends who I thoroughly enjoyed meeting.  The following are a couple of the cards we made in that class.  If you are interested in attending, feel free to email me.

This was a mother's day card (although any sentiment would do!).  The products used are as follows:

*Night of Navy card stock;

*Pocketful of Posies DSP (retired);

*Modern label punch (119849);

*Word Window punch(119857);

*Lattice Bigz die (115958);

*Floral Fusion Sizzlits die (115969); and

*Large Pearl Basic Jewels (125577) - I'm so glad these carried over from the Mini.

This was a wedding/anniversary easel card and the products used were as follows:

*Pretty in Pink card stock;

*Whisper White card stock;

Feel free to contact me if you would like any information about any of these cards or if you would like to order any of the products listed.

Butterflies, pearls and all things girly!

Likely best that I mention this early on, but I am a girly girl and I love all such things!  Butterflies, birds, owls and flowers.  Pearls are one of my favourite embellishments as well.  The card below is one of my earlier ones and uses non Stampin Up! card stock (gasp!) but I think shows off my love of delicate and feminine images.  I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die (118138).  This is a pretty inexpensive tool to add to your collection at $14.95 and it is one that you can use over and over again.  The background was embossed with the Elegant Lines Textured Impression Embossing Folder (119277).  These folders again are relatively inexpensive and are incredibly useful.  I often find that I turn to these folders for my backgrounds instead of DSP!
