Mojo Monday and CASE

This is a card I created for my last stamp camp and it just so happens to fit this week's MOJO challenge.  I was originally inspired by a card on Mary Fish's blog that's been removed.  Glad I CASE'd is before she took it off.  She used different DSP, but the idea was the same.

I love this set.  It's a hostess set that is so versatile.  I just love that it goes withe Keep Calm fad!  This card features new DSP and 3 of the new in colors!  Enjoy!

A Betsy's Blossoms take on a CASE

Well, I've been out of commission for quite some time, but I'm out of school for the summer, so hopefully I can post more often.  The end of the year is the hardest time for teachers and students and there just wasn't enough time to do what I really wanted to do.

Okay, onto the card.  I have to admit, this card was inspired by/CASEd by this card here.  I used this at my stamp camp last week and everyone loved it.  This card features the new Betsy's Blossoms stamp set which I simply LOVE.  It also features new DSP that combines lucky limeade, rich razzleberry, and daffodil delight!  No new in colors here!  The outline around the DSP is done haphazardly with a rich razzleberry marker.  I really like the effect it adds to the card.  Sort of a faux stitching!

Here's a close up on the bird.  I stamped it in early espresso and rich razzleberry.  Then I cut out the wings of the latter and adhered the big one with a dimensional.  I think it really ties it in nicely!  Let me know what you think!

Sweet Shop is Sending me Soaring

Please excuse the title, but I'm tired.  For some reason, short weeks are very long for teachers.  One more day...one more day!  Ok, this is a card we made in my stamp club on Sunday.  I don't do 3 X 6 very often because unless I have 12 X 12 card stock, I find that it wastes too much paper.  However, I had some 12 X 12 Wisteria Wonder lying around, so I changed the size of the card a bit.  I used the Sweet Shop DSP from the Occasions Mini (only available until the end of April) and layered it with some Lucky Limeade and So Saffron (Thanks, Heather Summers)  I used the Send me Soaring Stamp set and stamped the clouds in Pool Party, The kite and sentiment in Old Olive, and the string in Wisteria Wonder.  Oooh...and I finished it off with some baker's twine wrapped around the side.  I really like how it turned out!  Please let me know what you think.

Inspiration from the Great Mary Fish

Okay...so granted the lighting is awful, but my sweet husband took the photo for me so I wouldn't have to.  This card was inspired/CASEd by the great Mary Fish.  You can see her card HERE.  I'm happy to say that I changed it a bit.  Her cards are so wonderful, sometimes I just make an exact ditto of hers and call it a day!  Thank you Mary for the inspiration!  

The one HUGE difference between hers and mine was that I wanted my card to be a standard size.  I know I'm a skinflint, but I hate to waste that much card stock on a 3X6 card base.  Because I changed the size, I decided I needed to do a little more scoring.  I just love the little detail it adds.  I scored 3 times at the top with quarter inch increments and the same at the bottom.  I corner rounded the front and back (just like Mary) For the sentiment, I simply colored the words in Wisteria Wonder and stamped away.  My kids, my husband, and I made 20 of these in about an hour.  It's a very quick and easy card!  We LOVE assembly line cards.  The kids were punching and we were scoring and stamping.  So much fun!  Enjoy and have a wonderful day!

SAB Loving Thoughts

Hey all!  See, I told you I would try to blog more often.  Every other day isn't so bad.  Someday, in my dreams, when I can do this full time, maybe I will be able to blog every single day!!!  WOWZERS!  Ok, so I got the inspiration for this card on Stampin' Connection, but I can't remember from whom.  SO sorry!  I just love the simplicity of it.  I used a Poppy Parade for the base and then cut a layer of the SAB DSP.  I have to say that this is my favorite DSP from Sale A Bration since I've been a demonstrator.  I love every single sheet!!!  Ok, I cut a 3X4 piece of Very Vanilla and layered a piece of Poppy Parade underneath.  There are two pieces of ribbon wrapping behind the stamped layer which coordinates (of course...thank you SU!)

The flower is punched with the new Blossom punch.  I punched it once in Poppy Parade and once with another piece of SAB DSP.  I tied it all together with a brad from the SAB bundle and another two pieces of the lucky limeade ribbon.  What do you think?
