You & Me Mojo327

Good evening!
Since I hadn't really been stamping a lot due to the holidays, vacation and technical issues I wanted to start of the New Year by using a sketch challenge.  Mojo Monday never lets me down!  I love this week's sketch. It's perfect for the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday!

It's kinda hard to tell from the picture, but the larger heart is 3-D.  I punched 3 hearts out, folded 2 of the hearts in half and adhered them to the third heart. Since there is no Valentine's Day themed DSP this year- I used the new Fresh Prints DSP stack.  The Gold Sequin Trim is one of my new favorites!  So pretty!

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock:  Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White

DSP:  Fresh Prints DSP Stack

Stamps:  Perfect Pennants, Language of Love

Inks:  Crumb Cake, Real Red, Coastal Cabana

Tools/other supplies:  Stampin' Trimmer, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, SNAIL, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals, Full Heart Punch, Small Heart Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Big Shot, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Gold Sequin Trim

Monday Montage is back!

                                                                                     Good evening!  Welcome back for another edition of Monday Montage! Now that the holidays are over- we will resume our normal blog hopping schedule!
As you may have noticed over the last few weeks- I haven't been updating my blog as much as I normally do.  I am pleased to announce that I am back on my normal blogging/newsletter schedule as of tonight!

My card today features my favorite set from the new 2014 Occasions Catalog.  The stamp set is called Starburst Sayings and it even has a matching Starburst Framelit set!   I love the Oh, Happy Day stamp!  It's such a fun sentiment!  Perfect for celebrating many different occasions!

Since Stampin' Up! has released the new Occasions catalog, I figured I should share as much new product on this card as I could! The embossed arrow background was created with the new Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The Starburst with the arrows is made from the brand new DSP called Retro Fresh.  This package of DSP is FULL of fun patterns!  Arrows, stripes and much much more!  Definitely a must have from the brand new Occasions catalog!

Thanks for stopping by tonight and I hope that you will follow the hop all the way around!  Just click on the Next arrow to go to the fabulous Dara Gloden's page or hit the back button to visit the fabulous Cathy Casey's page.

Monday Montage Gift Card Holders

                                                                                     Good evening!  Welcome back for another edition of Monday Montage!  Due to technical difficulties I've not been able to update my blog until today.  I apologize for the inconvenience.  It's truly been annoying to not be able to post!

Tonight I have several gift card holders to share with you.  They are all the same basic style just different colors/embellishments/stamped images.  These gift card holders are super easy to create and are the perfect packaging for your gift cards!

Inside each holder is a set of white coin envelopes which have been embossed with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder.  The top envelope holds the gift card and the bottom envelope holds a tiny little card with a sentiment.  Unfortunately I don't have a picture of this to share just yet as I'm still having technical issues and things don't want to cooperate!  I will update this post as soon as I can with the inside pics!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you click the buttons at the bottom of this post to move around the hop!  Lots of beautiful projects will be shared this week!!!

Timeless Talk set

Good morning!
Have you ever looked through a catalog and saw an item that you liked but you weren't quite sure what to do with it?  That was me with the Timeless Talk stamp set that was featured in the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog.  I fell in love with the set immediately but just didn't quite know what to do with it.

A few months ago- I ordered the stamp set and it sat untouched for a very long time.  Then as I was designing my Craft Project Central project, I found the Timeless Talk Desktop Card set that the fabulous Laurie Zoellmer created.  I knew exactly what I was going to make!

 I absolutely love this desk set.  The cards are super cute and the box is fabulous!  It's also super easy to create!  If you're interested in the tutorial- you will need to subscribe to the October 2013 session.  The tutorial is easy to follow and is perfect for any level crafter!
Here are the 3 cards that go inside the box:

That's it!  Super cute and super fun!!!!

Monday Montage

                                                                                     Good evening!  Welcome back for another edition of Monday Montage!  I hope that everyone had a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! The holiday's are nice but they never last long enough!

Tonight I have a Christmas card to share with you. I wanted to create a somewhat non traditional Christmas card and this is what I came up with. Even though it's a non traditional card- I did keep red and green for accent colors.

The Burlap Ribbon from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog is awesome! It's extra wide which makes it perfect for ribbon roses!  I added a little bit of Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon to the back of the ribbon rose for a little added decoration. 

Don't forget to hop around with us tonight!  Click the back/next buttons to go all around the hop!

Have a wonderful evening!
