Mojo Monday #329

I have a Mojo Monday card today... using the Buzz & Bumble papers and accessories, which I love!

I sponged the edges a little with Cocoa ink to soften them and add a bit of definition between papers.  Here was our sketch:

Stamp set, papers and wooden button - all Buzz & Bumble Workshop on the Go; Cardstock is Cocoa, Sunset & Champagne; Ink is Cocoa - all Close To My Heart. Verve Classy Label die.

Artiste Valentines

I am posting on the Art Impressions blog today...

Time is inching closer to Valentine's Day... so I've put together a few goodies to help inspire you for the big day!  I'm using the Boy Cupid Set (Sku#4219), and I've made a couple of cupcake picks and a matching card:

 

This little fella is so sweet, so I wanted to make one of the picks with just a heart that he could aim his arrow towards:

 

I used my Cricut to cut out the red doily shapes from cardstock, as well as the matching cupcake liners, and hearts.

 

I tied some Baker's twine onto the picks, and glued small red hearts onto the ends.

 

I cut fairly close around the image, and pop dotted him over some silver glitter paper.  Here is the matching card that is 5" square:

 

And finally the inside:

Happy stamping everyone!

 

 



Viva La Verve Valentine

I am using the sketch from the Viva La Verve week #2 challenge for January... using one of my fave Valentine sets, Wings of Love.  I usually gravitate towards red when I make Valentines, but the background striped paper has soft smudgy pink hearts all over it which got me going in a pink direction.  I am entering it into Verve's January Diva Dare "Smitten" as well:

Here's a close-up of the heart that I paper pieced, and covered with coarse glitter:

Patterned papers are Head Over Heels Collection by Bo Bunny and Lucy, Close To My Heart; Cardstock is Black & White Daisy; Stamp set is Wings of Love, Verve; Vintage Oval die, Verve; Copic Markers.

Mojo Monday #328

I'm still working on adding a few generic birthday cards to my stash, so I wanted to make a guy card this time using this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  Although according to my daughter, this is not a guy card (it's not quite this limey in person!)... too funny.  I'm sure I'll find some guy who'll like it :o)

Patterned papers are Marjolaine, Basic Grey; Cardstock is Cocoa, CTMH; Ink and brads are Cocoa, CTMH;  Stamp set is Birthday to You, Verve; Classy Label die, Verve. 

 

Sweet Sunday Sketch #202

I'm needing to build up my stash of generic birthday cards for my daughter to give to friends, etc... so I made up two of these using this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch:

Patterned papers are Girl Friday by Cosmo Cricket; Cardstock is Chocolate & Colonial White; Stamp set is A Little Everything, Close To My Heart; Ink is Chocolate, Close To My Heart; button, CTMH; American Crafts twine.

 

Action Wobble Valentines

 Have you seen the new Art Impressions Valentine sets that were just released??  They're wonderful, and you can see them *here*.  There are six new sets, and 3 sweet sentiments... and I have four of the new sets to share with you today!  Caution - many photos ahead...

These are what I call the Ai Hugs sets  :o)  They were designed so that you not only receive the full image, but you also get a stamp of just the torso, that you pop up on an Action Wobble, and it gives the impression that the image is hugging itself!  So without further ado, here is the sweet Has Hugz Set (Sku#4362):

and here's a closeup where you can see the top of the kitty popped up:

And here is the Bear Hug Set (Sku#4361):

And now for the Main Squeeze Set (Sku#4360) :

And finally the Tweetheart Set (Sku#4363):

Thanks for bearing with me through all the photos... but I'm not done yet, here are a couple of set shots.  Happy stamping, everyone!
