Maybe a Little MOJO?

Ya know, everyone talks about "losing their mojo" and "how to get mojo".  I always just get in there and play, and somehow it comes out in the end.  If not, it is time to walk away for a while.  This card is for the MOJO #222 and the MIM #47 challenges.

I used the MIM #18 challenge(Tissue with Texture) for the doily image. 

Stamped the doily with white Stazon on Kraft tissue, crinkled it up and applied it with liquid glue to the card front.  I wanted to go neutral with this so it could fit many occasions.

Cardstock:White, Linen and background paper(PTI), old hymnal and book print.

Ink: Black and Tea Dye duo(PTI)

Stamps: Greeting (PTI), Doily(Inkadinkado)

Extras: Linen thread and Scallop Circle punch(SU), mini brad

Have a great afternoon.

I promise...

...that this will be the last Make-It-Monday challenge for the day.  I have seen so many cards that are using the Mister Huey spray mist.  Well I just thought I would try to make my own.  I used a glossy craft paint and water in a mister bottle.  I don't get the big droplets the the Huey spray gives you but I enjoyed the technique (MIM #15-Make your own Mist).

The Vintage Violet cardstock was embossed with a Cuttlebug snowflake folder and mounted on a kraft cardstock base.  The snowfalke was diecut from kraft cardstock.  The peace was diecut from a Kleenex box that I liked the patterned of.  Then the whole thing was sprayed with my mist.

Cardstock: Violet(SU), Kraft(PTI)

Ink: Stampin Up

Extras: Dies and button(PTI), Ribbon(SU)

Okay, I am done for today.  Have a warm and safe evening!

Tuesday Trigger and MIM #47

So when I saw the quilt for the Tuesday Trigger I immediatlly thought of the numbers dies from Papertrey.  I loved the bright colors of the numbers againts the white ground of the quilt.  Then I was looking through the MIM challenges for this week and saw the scribbles with markers in the MIM #29.  Match made in heaven.  The glitter stripes just came later when I thought the card could use a little punch(MIM#3 challenge).

I really had a goodtime putting this together.  And as a bonus my niece turns seven in March so I will be all ready!  Yea!

Cardstock:White(PTI), Green and Turquoise(SU)

Ink: SU Bold Brights Markers

Extras: Numbers and Circle Dies(PTI), Glitter(Recllections)

Fun, fun, fun,

MIM #47 (1st. edition)

You may wonder about the 1st. edition but there are so many great challenges this week at Papertrey Ink to cover that my goal is to try to do several.  The first one was kind of a mix of two challenges #42 (Layered backgrounds with Sentiments) and #31 (Background with Non-Background stamps).  I used a bunch of the sentiments from the new Tag-Its #11 to create the background on the bottom of the card. 

I am in the valentine mode now.

Cardstock: Kraft, White and Poppy (PTI), Pos. Pink(SU)

Ink:White(SU)

Stamps:Papertrey Ink

Extras: Heart Dies and Felt(PTI), People Dies(ProvoCraft), RickRack(sewing stash), Ribbon(SU), Tape(Heidi Swapp), Clip(HobbyLobby)

New Years Wishes!

I am going to enter this in the MIM #47 challenge.  I used the MIM #3 challenge.  You can get some great effects with embossing.

  Just wanted to stop by and give you something fun and bright to look at.  The entire image is covered with glitter embossing powder so it really shines.

The flower was stamped with water-proof ink then watercolored with the stamp pads and a waterbrush.  Then the image was covered with versamark ink and completelly embossed with the glitter embossing powder.

Cardstock: White(PTI) and Guava and Background Paper(SU)

Ink: Basic Brown, Guava, Banana(SU), Versamark

Stamps: Papertrey Ink

Extras: Dies(Spellbinders), Ribbon(SU), Button(PTI)

Stay warm and safe,

MFTT-Stripe-tastic

This is one of the cards that was dancing around in my head like sugar plums.  Not sure if I nailed it or not.  You know how sometimes it looks way better in your head that the outcome is.  So here is the trigger picture.

And here is the card.  I went with a tri-fold card that is 4.25 by 4.25 inches.  I want to duplicate the stripe, colors and the snowflakes on her collar.

Cardstock-White and Bordering Blue(SU)

Ink-Stampin Up

Stamps-Stampin Up

Extras-Snowflake Die(PTI)

Hope you keep warm and toasty this evening.
