Monochromatic

I made today's card for the Kween Bee Kreation challenge -- Monochromatic! It was fun and quick.

I simply used my Modern Label punch on the navy hues in the Patterns Pack III Hostess. I mounted those standing up on a piece of Bordering Blue and added it to my Night of Navy card.

I wrapped it with a knotted piece of retired Vintage Violet Grosgrain Stitched Ribbon.

For the sentiment, I used the Tiny Tags "hello" dipped in Night of Navy ink and stamped onto Whisper White card stock, cut out with the Word Window punch and matted with a Bordering Blue Modern Label punch.

Play along--It's fun!

Happy Weekend--

Mojo 116

Good morning! It's raining here so I could not photograph my card outside :-(

The base is Always Artichoke. The insert is Mellow Moss with a matching piece of grosgrain. The circles were cut with my Big Shot, using Nestabilities die cuts. I do not know where the star stamp comes from! It's Stampin' Up, but I have no idea which set it belongs to!  If you can tell me, I'd be happy! It's stamped in Always Artichoke and finished off with five gold brads. All of the patterned paper comes from the Hostess Patterns Pack III. This is such a valuable item to have---many colors and patterns at your fingertips in an easy 6 x 6" size.

PPA19 - Inspiration

The thinking this week was "vintage" when I saw the Pals Paper Arts inspiration sleigh photo above. I couldn't quite reach back as far as the sleigh goes, but I did reach back into my little girl memories! When I saw this stamp set, it reminded me of 60's ornaments! I'm from the 60's, so I had to have them. 

• I started with a Very Vanilla card base, and stamped the sentiment from Grateful Greetings in Old Olive ink. 
  

• I stamped the three ornaments from Tree Trimmings in Old Olive and Real Red onto Shimmery White card stock. I cut them out with my paper snips.
  

• I punched a 1/8" hole into the top of each ornament and slipped a folded 2" piece of stretchy gold cording through the hole. 
  

• I secured the cording on the back of the Top Note Die half with sticky tape. 
  

• I placed the ornaments onto the half of the Top Note die cut, popping them up on dimensionals. Then I tied a bow around the top of each piece of cording. 
  

• I used Snail Adhesive to adhere my die cut, but thought my card looked like it was missing SOMEthing, so I used my Matt Pack and Paper Piercer to pierce holes around the sides and bottom in the shape of the die cut. I did this free-hand. 

I really like how this card turned out!

Won't YOU play along with Pals Paper Arts and design a project inspired by the sleigh photo above?

Mojo Monday

Obviously short on time around here! Mojo Monday on Tuesday? How could it be? Oh well, I got my Mojo going late Monday night, but finished a couple of projects after that. 

This card was a snap. I tried to keep to the sketch, but my large sentiment, which I then decorated, was too big to push into the left-hand corner, so I centered it.

Please leave your comments below, I love to read them.
