Sweet Summer Mojo

Cards

Over on Stampin’ Up in Oz we have weekly challenges. Last week we had a colour challenge using Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive & Pumpkin Pie. I didn’t get around to creating something for it during that week but when I saw this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch I decided to complete 2 challenges in one and also use one of the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets called ‘Sweet Summer’.

 

Here’s the Mojo Monday Sketch 175.

 

And this is what I cam up with.

 

I’ve left a sentiment off this card for 2 reasons. One is, I’m not sure it needs it. Two is, I’m not sure where I’d position it.

Any ideas?? Or are you like me and not sure it needs one??

 

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Sweet Summer
Card: Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Watercolour Paper, Old Olive Patterns DSP (Brights Pattern Stack)
Ink: Stazon Jet Black, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: Pumpkin Pie 3/8” Taffeta ribbon, Circle Scissor Plus, Blender Pen, Big Shot, Lattice Embossing Folder.

 

Till next time…..

To A Classic

I’m back with some more ‘male’ cards.

When I saw the Sketch for Utah Divas International this week (January 22nd), I knew exactly which set I was going to play with. Another new set for me from the Idea Book & Catalogue 2010|2011 called ‘To A Classic’.

Here’s the Sketch.

I’ve actually created 2 cards, same layout, stamp set and colours, just in a different order. Colours have come from the Colour Coach, of course…..

This is my first card.

This one has some Patterns DSP which I like but I also thought, after making this one, that it would be a nice quick card suitable for a Stamp-A-Stack but using that DSP would make it an expensive card.

So along comes my 2nd card.

Colours are swapped around and in place of the Patterns DSP I’ve used a background stamp.

I’m still undecided if I prefer one over the other.

Do you have a preference??

Supplies:
Stamps: To A Classic, Sanded Background
Card: Not Quite Navy, Sahara Sand, Poppy Parade, Whisper White
Ink: Stazon Jet Black, Poppy Parade
Accessories: Blender Pen

Till next time….
