Tall and skinny MOJO ...

MOJO Monday is changing their size a little bit.  This week their challenge is to make a tall and skinny card.  Always fun to shake things up.

Stamps:  Love From Cocoa (Sweet 'n Sassy)

Paper:  White, Red, Crumb Cake Black (SU)

DP:  Bright & Basic (Recollections)

Ink:  Memento Black, Real Red (SU)

Accessories:  Copics, oval, rectangle & scallop dies (Spellbinders), heart & polka dot embossing folder (Cuttlebug)

Once again I pulled out my sponge dauber.  Between sponging and Cocoa stamps, my cards are looking the same...only the colors are changing.  :)

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

Birthday challenge ...

The folks over at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps are hosting a new challenge on Friday's.  This week it is to use the word Birthday on your card.  I found the perfect sketch over at Pals Paper Arts.

Stamps:  Cocoa's Gift, Love From Cocoa (Sweet 'n Sassy)

Paper:  Perfect Plum, White, Sage Shadow (SU)

DP:  Bold Basics (Recollections)

Ink:  Memento Black, Perfect Plum (SU)

Accessories:  rectangle dies (Spellbinders), Copics, blender pen, rhinestones (SU)

Here is the sketch ...

I used the blender pen to color the box.  I wanted something that wasn't smooth looking.  I guess I got the effect I was looking for.  Hmm, been using that sponge dauber a lot lately.  This card will be going to my purple loving neice for her 20th birthday.  

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,

First Valentine's card ...

Posting my first Valentine's card of the year.  My inspiration for this cutie came from the Mod Squad Challenge Blog and MOJO Monday's sketch.

Stamps:  Love From Cocoa (Sweet 'n Sassy)

Paper:  White, Rose Red, Not Quite Navy (SU)

Ink:  Memento Black, Rose Red (SU)

Accessories:  Lacey and circle dies (Spellbinders), Copics, heart and polka dot embossing folder (CuttleBug), wooden heart, ribbon, gem 

The Mod Squad challenge was to use some kind of wood on your card...paper, emblishment, etc.   I went with a little wooden heart.  Here is the sketch from MOJO this week ...

I made my background by rubbing my ink pad directly on the embossing folder and then running it through my Cuttlebug.  

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

Just a note ...

A real quick post as the deadline for entering this card into Tuesday Morning Sketches is in a couple of hours.  Here is the sketch ...

 

Here is what I created ...

 

Stamps:  Love From Cocoa (Sweet 'n Sassy)

Paper:  Early Espresso, Whisper White (SU), Lime Green

DP:  Recollections

Ink:  Memento Black, Early Espresso (SU)

Accessories:  Copics, square and scallop dies (Spellbinders), sponge dauber, label punch (SU), ribbon (H.L.)

 

As you can see this card will be going to Bethany.  I thought I would hand write a little something so the paper wouldn't look so empty.

 

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

 

Have a great day,

Pam~
