I am back to try my hand at another Mojo Monday card challenge.

This weeks challenge:

I chose to go with the square sketch, since I usually don’t make square cards.  I am so in love with all the new products that are available in the new Sale-a-Bration promotion, that I knew I had to choose one of my favourites for this card, the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper. I kept things really simple, partly because that’s the style of card I like and partly because that’s what I felt this sketch called for.  Hope you like it.

My Card:

Here’s what I used (all Stampin’ UP! products):

Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede Textured, Everyday Enchantment DSP

Stamp Set: Fresh Vintage, Elementary Elegance (both only available during Sale-a-Bration)

Ink: Calypso Coral, Pool Party

Embellishments: Everyday Enchantment Brad, Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon, Basic Pearl, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Sale-a-Bration is on now through March 31, 2012. The Designer Series Paper I used in my card, is not available for purchase, but can be yours free with a $60 purchase of Stampin’ UP! products. Contact me for details.

Thanks for taking a look!

I’ve been having so much fun designing cards with the weekly sketch from Mojo Monday, that I had to try another challenge.  This time it’s the Friday Mashup.

This weeks challenge was to make a card using the sketch, or using a new product we hadn’t used before, or making a project combining both.

My Card:

I decided to use the sketch and something new I hadn’t used before. I recently purchased some Designer Paper from the new Stampin’ UP! Occasions Mini Catalogue, called Sweet Shop and hadn’t had a chance to use it yet. So when this challenge called for something new, I not only used this paper but one of the new coordinating brads as well. I just love how everything coordinates.

Here are the details:

Card Stock: Soft Suede, Pool Party, Sweet Shop DSP, whisper white

Stamp Set: Create a Cupcake

Ink: Soft Suede, Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder

Tools & Fun Stuff: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Modern Label Punch, Sweet Shop Jelly Bean Brads, Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon

Now to decide who the lucky recipient will be!

Valentine’s Day is fast , so I decided to use this theme for this week’s Mojo Monday.

This week’s sketch:

My card:

When I first saw this week’s sketch I thought it would be easy to come up with a design. But looks can be deceiving – what looks simple can sometimes be very tricky.  I had a hard time coming up with something that wasn’t too simple (or boring) or too fussy (not my style!). It took a while but I have to say that I am pretty happy with what I ended up with.

Here are the details:

Card Stock: Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Whisper White, Love Patterns DSP, Red Glimmer Paper

Ink: Real Red

Tools: Big Shot, Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, dimensionals, Corner Punch, Large Oval Punch and Scallop Oval Punch
