Sketch Challenge 255

Here is the sketch for this week's "Sketch Challenge"

I needed a card to send to my aunt who just found out she's going to be a grandma! I'm very excited for her and thought this week's sketch challenge would provide the perfect template to work from. I find baby cards the hardest to make - especially if they need to be gender neutral! I gave it my best shot and hope she enjoys the results!



Supplies:
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Patterned Paper
Ink: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink
Stamps: Nursery Necessities, A wheel who's name escapes me!
Accessories: Flowers, Brads

Mojo Monday 113

Mojo Monday is here again! Okay - so it's here and now it's gone!
Here are my Mojo Monday cards. I have used up my Sympathy cards (which actually makes me very sad) and so decided to make a new one up. Wedding cards are always fun to make and have on hand.
Enjoy!
Here's the Mojo Monday week 113 sketch!
Try out your own card for fun and let me know how it goes!

Sketch Challenge 254


Happy Sunday!
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I finished up my "Sketch Challenge" card a few days ago and am finally sitting down to post. I like Roxie's sketch again this week. You'll see though that I rotated the card since I couldn't get it to work the other way. I need a few more Christmas cards so thought I would use this challenge to complete the collection!

Thanks for looking!


Supplies:
Stamps: Delightful Decorations, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Real Red, Merry Moments DSP, Very Vanilla
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Old Olive
Accessories: Gold Cording, Gold Brads

Flight of the Butterfly

As mentioned in the post below I purchased the Stampin' Up! "Flight of the Butterfly" stamp set. I've seen lots of people making cards using it and since I love butterflies I thought I would give it a whirl. I have be playing with it and really enjoy it.

I also have been using the "Cottage Wall" DSP and really enjoy the colour combination.

I hope you like my most recent creations! Hopefully more to come in the next few days!


Supplies:
Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly
Ink: Orchid Opulence, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive
Paper: Kraft, Whisper White, Cottage Wall DSP
Accessories: Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon





Supplies:
Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Circle Circus, one that I have no idea where it came from!!!
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, DSP that's retired...
Accessories: Sparkly brads

Mojo 112

Okay so I figure getting the Mojo Monday card out a few days late is better than nothing! I got a new stamp set the other week - Flight of the Butterfly. I really enjoy it and have been playing with it for a few days! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!


Here is this week's sketch!










And the final product!

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly

SC253 - A little late!

Sorry for not getting any posts up in the last week. My husband and I were away for the weekend and I've been fighting off a cold. This is last week's Sketch Challenge card. I am currently working on this week's challenge card and will have it up later this week!
I must admit I love flowers and butterflies so this card is a fav of mine! I do love the Garden Greetings stamp set - though not in the current Stampin' Up! catalogue, it is still on the dormant list and available for order.


I found this sketch a little more challenging. I guess I have a hard time thinking outside the box...those triangles threw me for a loop!
Here's the finished product:

Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Greetings, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Orchid Opulence
Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Whisper White, Cottage Wall DSP, A light purple who's name escapes me!
Accessories: Butterfly punch, jewels, glitter

Mojo 111 - Get Well Soon


This week's sketch looks easy but I don't have a lot of "big" stamps to fill the space up. I fell back on one of my all time favourites - my tea pots! I don't have any "Get Well Soon" cards on hand and know so many people that are sick right now.
The card came together pretty quickly - not one of my best but I like it and hope it would cheer someone up!

Supplies:
Paper: Old Olive, Real Red, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Patterned Paper (Chatterbox)
Ink: Old Olive, Real Red
Stamps: Tea for Two (I forget the name...)
Accessories: Flowers, Brad, jewels
Have you tried the Mojo Monday sketch yet? It's fun and a great way to get some cards made in a hurry!
