Mojo Monday Challenge - November 23, 2009

This Mojo Monday challenge was easy using Stampin' Up! products:

• Christmas Jingle striped DSP
• Textured cardstock in Real Red and Chocolate Chip
• Old Olive cardstock
• Stampin’ Up! Exclusive Die Movers & Shapers Curly Label
• Hostess Stamp set - Christmas Punch
• Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Real Red Stampin' Write markers
• Old Olive 1/4" grosgrain ribbon
• Eyelet border punch

The Stampin' Up! exclusive Movers & Shapers Curly Label die is FANTASTIC. All I had to do to create the card base was cut my 8 1/2" x 11" paper in half length wise and line it up on the die. The unique cutout has perforated marks shaped around the cutout piece.

Of course, I had to design the card first using Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio. You just have to get this program!

My First Mojo Monday Challenge

I have been checking this blog out for months now and finally decided that tonight I will meet the challenge.

Each Monday a new sketch is added to the blog; the challenge is to use the sketch to create your own "masterpiece".



I, of course, playing with the new Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio, first created my "masterpiece" on the computer and then went to my craft room and created the card with real cardstock.

I used all Stampin' Up! products with this card

• Mellow Moss card base
• Really Rust cardstock and DSP from the Patterns Pack III (available as a Level 1 Hostess Benefits)
• Mellow Moss 1/4" grosgrain ribbon
• Thoughts & Prayers stamp set
• Large oval and scallop oval punch
• Basic Black ink
• Stampin' Dimensionals

This is my digital creation
