"Wickedly Cool"

Hi Guys, I really got my mojo on tonight with this weeks

"Mojo Monday's #153"

It all just flowed, don't you love it when that happens.

I'm soooooo loving this new Halloween Set

"Wicked Cool" It stamps so clean and with such fine lines!

I started with Whisper White cardstock for my base card,

and added a mat of Rich Razzleberry,

next came DSP "Wicked Fun" lots of wicked fun going on with this card!!!!

I punched the scalloped squares with SU extra large scallop punch,

next I punched the images out with the SU 1-1/4 square punch.

Spooky was stamped with Basic Black Dye Ink on Whisper White,

then punched with Oval Large SU Punch,

and matted with the SU Scalloped Oval punched Rich Razzleberry.

Check out how these punches all work together, and really make your work look so professional.....and boy do they save time!!

Ribbon is Rich Razzleberry and may not be available now,

but there is a solid 1/4 inch grosgrain.

I added a black star button and some glitzy rhinestones

and there you have it.

Hope you all enjoy it.

I've posted my favorite card last( my design) , therefor making it first on my blog for today. Don't you love how you have to think in reverse. As if thinking forward isn't hard enough......!!!

I started this card with a Bashful Blue card, layered Early Espresso ( I'm liking it more than Chocolate Chip, who would have thought it??), I added an embossed Whisper White layer, then the DSP, guess......no.... not Greenhouse Gala.... again....!!!

I added a punched border in Bashful Blue.

The main sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso then trimmed and mounted on Whisper White, then Bashful Blue. I stamped the image again on Bashful Blue and cut out the flower. Added some glitter, popped it all up a little, added the polka dot ribbon and wha-la!!

I think I'll take a few days off from Friends Never Fade and DSP Greenhouse Gala.

What do you think????

I just love this card, lots of work, but it turned out great. I CASED it from Amy Sheffer, it was listed on SCS as urbangardenthanks.

Real Red. Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzaz, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White. DSP is Greenhouse Gala, and I added some red bling in the middle. I used my 1 1/4 inch square punch to do the 4 center colors. Lots of fun and I like how it turned out.

2010-07-11T14:49:00.003-05:00

I CASED this card from Sandy MacIver, she's my hero. I really like her style. Real Red and Pear Pizzazz CS, Scalloped Border punch in Whisper White, sentiment incased in an antique brass Hodgepodge Hardware. Main image was colored with SU markers and stamped on Whisper White, it was cut out with the rectangle spellbinders.

The DSP is again, my favorite Greenhouse Gala.

2010-07-11T14:36:00.002-05:00

I enjoyed making this card, isn't it interesting how some cards just come together easily, and then others you agonize over. This is my design, same set "Friends Never Fade". Base cardstock is Pear Pizzazz, next mat is Baja Breeze, I stamped the bottom design with versamark, and also stamped the main design with versamark, then embossed with clear embossing powder. The paper is DSP Greenhouse Gala. The sentiment and the main stamped image are popped up. The ribbon was in my stash, and the felt flower and brad is from SU.

I liked how this card turned out.

2010-07-11T14:13:00.004-05:00

Bashful Blue card base, Early Espresso embossed with the new embossing folder "Vintage Wallpaper", Bashful Blue and Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso, I then stamped the flower in the same set with Bashful blue, sprayed it with Vanila Shimmer Smooch( kiss, kiss, kiss...love this stuff. It makes your snowflakes just beautiful) and cut it out. Popped it up with dimensionals.

Added ribbon and rick rack. And a little flower to the middle of the flower.

Not my favorite but it will do.

After posting this I realized I have used several stamps to make this card. The colors were chosen for the Curtain Call, Act 33. I just love this combo, Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, and Night of Navy. The DSP is SU's Certainly Celery. The memories sentiment is from "Define your Life" it was stamped in Night of Navy, I then colored the stamp from "Of the Earth" with my SU markers, huffed on it and stamped over the sentiment. The Sharing in your Sorrow sentiment is from the set "Thought and Prayers" and the branch on the inside is also from this set. The butterfly and inside sentiment is from "Ann-ticipations"

It is my favorite Sympathy verse.

The inside was cut with the "Top Note Die" from SU,

I use it quite often when the card is dark.

2010-07-11T13:44:00.003-05:00

This card is a MOJO Monday Sketch, # 142. The colors are Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, and Pumpkin Pie. The DSP is my new all time favorite "Greenhouse Gala"

I've been on a "Friends Never Fade" binge, I am really loving the new releases from Stampin' Up. I was anxious about the new color change. It's been the biggest one since I've been a demonstrator. But now that I have all the new colors and have purged my files and stamp pads, I am really loving the change. Looking back into previous catalogs, I realize it was definately needed. !! I think it's the best release yet. I'm hoping to get a Stamping Up blog going so ya'll can link to SU from here.

OK for the card above I used the new Crumb Cake (Kraft) and Night of Navy. The DSP is from BD Designs which is no longer in business :((
