Mojo Monday 478 Contest | Encouragement Card featuring Simon Says Stamp
Now that I've gotten back to making time for card making, I can't stop! It feels good to get these ideas, that have been packed in my head, out onto paper. I still have at least one more card after this one to share :) For this card, I decided (again) to go back to the Mojo Monday 478 Contest. I used this card sketch and used the supplies from SSS Snow Much Thanks Card Kit - this time, using patterned papers AND solids to create a card - not just mix and matching paper with o
Mojo Monday 478 Contest | Scratch-off Birthday Card featuring Mama Elephant and SSS
Thank goodness for Mojo Monday! I feel like it definitely is helping me to find my card making mojo :) After I made my last card using the Mojo Monday 478 Contest sketch, I felt the urge to make another! I began again with the Simon Says Stamp Snow Much Thanks Card Kit. I pulled the patterned paper that looked like sprinkles and immediately thought "birthday card." I decided I wanted to bring out the pink from the patterned paper, so I used the pink paper from the kit and als
Mojo Monday 478 Contest | Spring New Baby Card featuring Lawn Fawn
Alright, so it's the first Monday of the new year, and I am determined to stick to the schedule that I have set for myself. Today, I promised I would create a card to share with you using the Mojo Monday sketch for this week, which is Mojo Monday 478 Contest. For this card, I wanted to pull my Simon Says Stamp January 2017 Snow Much Thanks card` kit, since I had yet to do anything with it other than take it out from the box and transfer it to a ziplock baggie. When I looked t
Mojo Monday 458 & Simon Says Anything Goes | SSS Seeing Stars Card Kit
I apologize up front that it's been a while since I've posted on my blog or YouTube channel, but with starting a new job a few weeks ago, I've been exhausted coming home from work! I finally got a chance to sit down and create a card (one of my early days off work) using the August 2016 SSS Seeing Stars Card Kit. Unfortunately, it seems that a lot of people would agree that these kit released 2 months too late. If we could have had it for June, we would have been able to make
Mojo Monday #454 & Simon Says Anything Goes | SSS July 2016 Handwritten Floral Greetings Card Ki
My SSS July 2016 card kit finally came today! I know I always say it... but it's seriously like Christmas when it arrives; when ANY craft package arrives really :) Of course I had to open it right away and dig in to make a card! As much as I love my YouTube channel and sharing my card processes, it really take a lot of work to create a video from start to finish. Sometimes, I really do just like to create a card and not have to worry about whether I'm in frame while recording
Mojo Monday #453 & MFT Color Challenge 48 | SSS Dream Distress Ink Card
There were A LOT of challenges this week that I was interested in doing from sketch challenges to color challenges. I decided to pick both a sketch and color challenge as the base for my card idea. You'll see that I tweaked some things for each challenge to make my own individual card and design. I began my card by referring to MFT Color Challenge #48. The combination of colors was really pretty, and I was in the mood for making a distress ink background so I pulled distress
Mojo Monday 452 | Your Next Stamp Keepin' It Reel Father's Day Card
If you watched my Spring 2016 Collective Cardmaking Haul, you would have learned that I purchased the Your Next Stamp "Keepin' It Reel" stamp and die set with my Dad my in mind as I knew Father's Day was coming up... AND... although he doesn't fish much anymore, I know my Dad as the fisherman in the family :) Before this release from YNS, I'd never purchased any of their stamps, but I came to learn that they have some REALLY cute stamp sets! I have a few of theirs on my wish
Mojo Monday 451 Contest | Simon Says Stamp June 2016 Card Kit
For my second card for the Mojo Monday 451 Contest, I pulled the SSS June 2016 Card Kit that was still sitting out on my desk and used some of the leftover products to complete my card. As with my first card, I also used the Lawn Fawn "So Much to Say" stamp set and pulled the "feel better" sentiment as I don't have many cards with that sentiment either. I decided to use Versamark ink to stamp the sentiment and white powder to heat emboss it. I almost think that using white in
Mojo Monday 451 Contest | Congrats Distress Ink Blending Card
Ah, it's contest week at Mojo Monday again :) I'm still trying hard to keep up with this schedule of blog posts that I set for myself, but sometimes I get home from work and I'm just so tired... of literally, doing nothing all day. The fact that it's contest week just gave me that extra push... and not only did I make one card, but I made TWO using the Mojo Monday 451 Contest Sketch. So I can submit both cards, my second card will follow in the next post :) For this card, I d
Mojo Monday 449 & Simon Says Anything Goes | SSS Look for the Miracles
Does anyone else just love getting their monthly card kit in the mail? I swear, it feels like Christmas every time it arrives! Unfortunately, due to a busy life, it often sits on my craft desk unattended for at least a week or so until I finally have some time to sit down and create something with it. Well, with it being a 3-day weekend for me, I've had the time to catch up on all my video editing, participate in card challenges, and make a card using my SSS card kit, and HOP
