Mojo Monday - December 28, 2009

Want a challenge? - check out Mojo Monday



Santa gave me a new camera and photo box to capture better pictures of my cards. I had to return the photo box because the camera stand was missing. Once I get it a replacement and learn how to use various software programs, I hope my pictures look more professional.

I love the added dimensions to this card. I used three different embossing folders and the Stampin' Up! Big Bold Cupcake and Movers and Shapers Modern Label die. I also used Stampin' Up! Modern Label and Word Window punches. My color scheme was Stampin' Up! Night of Navy, Really Rust and So Saffron cardstock.

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!

Do you or Santa need help finding the perfect gift? Have Santa contact me. I will help with suggestions or Santa can purchase gift certificates from me (redeemable only through me).

I love comments; please leave one.

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
