Mojo Monday 422 – Taylored Expressions

I’m playing along with the Mojo Monday Challenge #422 with just-released stamps and dies from Taylored Expressions.

I used the Stitched Banner, Stitched Rectangle, Stitched Square and Stitched Circle Stacklets to cut out the geometric shapes on the card. To create the skinnier rectangle, I cut the patterned paper once with the Stitched Banner die and then used it again to cut off the banner part. The heat-embossed sentiment and kitchen items are from the Life is a Kitchen stamp set.

Mojo Monday 414 – Happy Fall

I’m playing along with the Mojo Monday 414 Challenge with a CAS fall-themed card created with Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts.

To begin, I cut kraft and red cardstock with the Easy As Pie Confetti Cuts set (I cut both the pie top and bottom twice for added dimension). I heat-embossed a sentiment from Forever Fall on a die cut created with one of the dies in the Layered Banner Duo Confetti Cuts set. The apple patterned paper was cut with a die in the Documented Confetti Cuts set.

I’m playing along with this week’s Mojo Monday challenge.

I got the idea to use the tree stamp from the Penny Black 40-187 Love Birds set after seeing Sarah Bigelow’s card. With the tree stamped, I begin mixing and matching patterned papers from the We R Memory Keepers Love Notes pad. I tend to cut all of the elements in a variety of papers/colors before making my choices. Needless to say, it can take quite a bit of time! I added a sentiment heat embossed with Penny’s Black 30-160 Friendship set and added a bird cut with the 51-094 Tweets die. I’m obsessed with that particular bird, especially as I often want to have an element pointing into the center of the card and that one fits the bill!

Mojo Monday Meets ColourQ

Today, I’m playing along with Mojo Monday 378 and ColourQ 273. I like that tropical-feeling color combo so much, I had to play along again!

The card width is around 4″ and it’s a tad taller than 6″. I almost always make tent-fold cards, but I wasn’t able to for this card due to its height. I used the Paper Smooches Flower Dies and a Stampin’ Up sentiment stamp. The Poppy Parade banner was stamped with a Stampin’ Up background stamp for tone-on-tone texture.

Hip Hip Hooray!

There’s a new challenge over at Stamp Nation – to create a card with Red, White and Blue, one of my favorite combinations! I paired those colors with the sketch from Mojo Monday 352.

Hip Hip Hooray!

This card is 3 1/2″ wide by 5 1/2″ tall. I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder to dry emboss navy Stampin’ Up cardstock. The stars were cut from several different My Favorite Things die cuts using Stampin’ Up and Bazzill cardstock. The patterned paper strip is from the Carta Bella, Ahoy collection. I stamped the Stampin’ Up Hip Note sentiment with Stampin’ Up navy ink.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July!
