MOJO 157

It's amazing, but I found some time to play along with the Mojo Monday sketch this week.  I used mostly retired items in the making of this card.  I tend to always want to play with my newer stuff, but I have so many retired things to use.  Here is the sketch:

Here is my interpretation of the sketch.

The large flower is a die cut on board that has been inked with More Mustard craft ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder.  It looks almost leatherish to me.  The sentiment is from a set called Absolutely fabulous.  I like the continuation of the sentiment on the inside of the card which says, "No seriously, ...you are." 

It's a GORJUS day in Reno today.  Time to go play in the sunshine.

Thanks for looking.

More Christmas cards

I'm continuing to make Christmas cards.  I will be making these two cards with some ladies on Saturday for a Christmas Card Class.  If you are interested in making either of the cards on your own, I do offer card kits for both.  Just send me an email and I'll reply with the particulars!

One of the ladies coming to the class loves blue and white.  This card is in her honor.  It uses the new snowflake embossing folder and the basic rhinestones.

This second card is really stunning in person.  It's the kind of card people want to touch because of the sparkle.  The sparkle is done with heat and stick powder and dazzling diamonds.

The sparkle is not showing up in the picture. :-( I need to learn how to take better pictures!

Hope you like the cards.

First Christmas card of the year

I have created the first Christmas card of the year.  Yes, it does seem way too early for jingle bells, holly and the manger.  But the weeks are short for those of us making cards!  I like simple cards that mail easily.  Well, let me clarify...I love wonderfully ornate cards, but for mailing lots of them during Christmas, the simpler the better.  With that in mind, I created this simple card.  Another bonus is that it is easily mass produced.  (Sorry friends, I do not make individual card designs for each of you.  Alas, I may appear crazy, but I'm not!)  I like the sentiment of JOY for a Christmas card.  Although Joy is there in every day of Life, more folks seem to find it in the holidays.  Lookie:

I'm grateful to SU for adding bling to the inventory line-up.  The pearls are wonderful.  Lots of sizes and easy to use.  Plus, I'm a pearl girl. 

Thanks for sharing a moment of your day with me.
