Soaring Mojo

#stampinup   #saleabration2016   I had so much fun playing in the Mojo Monday sketch challenge yesterday, that I wanted to play again today! Yesterday, I made a bright and cheery card with bold colors. Today I'm going the opposite way and using neutrals--and the card is still cheery!

I started with three 1" strips of the Going Places 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Stack and flagged the ends with the Banner Triple Punch. I adhered them to a Very Vanilla card base, as in the sketch.

Next, I cut a 3"x4" Very Vanilla panel and stamped the sentiment from the "Sky Is the Limit" set in Basic Black Archival Ink and the larger clouds from the same set in Tip Top Taupe. Some of the clouds are stamped full strength; some are stamped off once.

I stamped the airplane from the same set in Basic Black Archival Ink onto a Very Vanilla scrap and then fussy cut it. I adhered the airplane to the Very Vanilla panel with Stampin' Dimensionals and I adhered the panel to a slight larger Basic Black mat with Snail Adhesive. I adhered this whole assembly to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I really like the way this card turned out and I love the clean, crisp sentiment.

Mojo Birthday

#stampinup   A couple of my favorite stampers (Hi Justin Krieger and Mary Fish!) posted cards using a totally awesome layout. Being the cracking analyst that I am, I figured they must be playing along in a sketch challenge--and they were! I headed right on over to this week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge so I could play along, too!

I wanted to create a bright and cheery birthday card--so what better colors to use than those in the Cherry on Top 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Stack? I cut three 1.5" strips of DSP and flagged the ends with the Banner Triple Punch. I adhered these strips to a Bermuda Bay card base, as in the sketch.

Next, I stamped two solid balloons from the "Celebrate Today" stamp set in Watermelon Wonder onto Whisper White Card Stock and added the happy birthday sentiment in Bermuda Bay on top of the balloons. I cut these out with the matching Balloons Framelits.

I cut a 2.5" by 4-3/8" Whisper White panel and backed it with a 2-5/8" by 4-5/8" Crushed Curry mat, I wrapped a length of Pool Party Glitter Ribbon around the assembly and adhered it to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added the balloons to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals, too.

For a final bit of bling, I added two medium-sized Basic Rhinestone Embellishments to each balloon.  And there you have it: one bright and cheery birthday card!
