Mojo Monday #483 Blog Entry

Today I am participating in the Mojo Monday #483 sketch challenge. Each Monday we are given a sketch to use to create a card. Today I chose to use the Carousel Birthday stamp set and coordinating Cupcakes & Carousels DSP. I LOVE both of these items. They make it so easy to put a card together. This card literally came together in less than an hour! That's a record for me! Anyone who knows me, knows I ponder craft ideas into the ground before I actually get them down on the cardstock. Between having this sketch and the coordinating products, it makes me look like an artist. 

I LOVE THAT! 

After all, that's why I became a Stampin' Up! Demo. Their products and tools make me look good! LOL!

I used the new Watercolor Pencils to color both the carousel horse and the letters. They are so easy to use! I finished off the card with some Peekaboo Peach ruched ribbon. 

Here's the sketch design.

I stamped off the carousel image in Sahara Sand and used it for a background image to the sentiment inside the card.

And did you notice...I was able to sneak a horse in today's post! ;)

New Stitched Framelits/Mojo Monday

Stampin' Up! released their new Stitched Framelits - just for November. After November 30th you won't be able to order them again until June of 2017.

I used them on this Mojo Monday card and can I just tell you, I LOVE THEM!!!  I'm so happy that I purchased them on release day!

We have a friend who had a hip replacement yesterday and I wanted to make him the perfect card. After seeing the Mojo Monday 474 sketch come up in my email, I decided to kill 3 birds with one stone - Make our friend a personalized card, be able to link it to the Mojo Monday 474 sketch AND use our beautiful new framelits.

 That's what I call a Win! Win! Win! :) And what's better than one card? Why, two of course! ;)

The cone-headed dog is CASEd from Tami White. I punched him out with the Fox Builder punch in Soft Suede and Chocolate Chip.  The card bases are in Emerald Envy and Dapper Denim. The DSP is Moroccan - isn't it awesome?! The sentiment is from the Here For You stamp set. The ruched ribbon is in Emerald Envy and Dapper Denim. The dog collar is vellum punched out with the 1 3/4" circle punch.

Here's the Mojo Monday sketch I used: 

I hope you enjoyed today's card. That little dog just makes me giggle :) See ya tomorrow with the second card from last week's card class.

Till then, Happy Stamping!
