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!

Last card in the Christmas set

Don't worry, this isn't my last Christmas card.  Far from it in fact.  But it is the last one in this set.  For this one, I decided to go away from the other sketch and came up with this on my own!






The products used are:


*Gumball green card stock (126840)
*Raspberry ripple card stock (126842)
*Snow festival DSP (126908)
*Hemp twine - retired
*Mittens - retired
*Curly cute stamp set (W117014 / 120510)
*Whisper white card stock (100730)


The felt mittens are retired, but there is no reason why you couldn't use the mittens in Make a mitten (W127940 / C127943) as well as the builder punch (127824) instead!!


Until next time!

Christmas card

I decided that I needed to use up some retired embellishments that I had from last year.  So I used the sketch at Try Stampin' on a Tuesday as the inspiration for the next few cards that I will post.






The products used in this card are:


*Whisper white card stock (100730)
*Tempting turquoise card stock (102067)
*Gumball green card stock (126840)
*Raspberry ripple card stock (126842)
*Retired ribbon
*Retired wreath and holly embellishment
*Chocolate chip card stock (102128)
*Woodgrain emboss folder (127821)
*Tiny tags stamp set ('merry') (W118091 / C118592)


As a tip, to get the even banner tips, use your square punch!  It takes some getting used to in order to ensure it is centered, but once you get the hang of it, it's great!


Until next time!
