Mojo Monday/Paper Playtime 4/1/13

Mojo Monday/Paper Playtime Entry

This week I made a card to satisfy TWO challenges, the Mojo Monday sketch AND Paper Playtime's "Use a Pun". Mojo Monday challenges always end on Sunday night, but this Paper Playtime challenge actually ends on April 14th. More excitingly...it's contest week on Mojo Monday! I will win one day, but until I do, I will keep playing!


Here is the 4/1/13 Sketch...

And here is my card...

Mojo Monday Entry

This week they gave you a choice of a circle or square. I don't have anything to make a circle card so I went with the square.

Mojo Monday - Happy Birthday...AGAIN!

I am getting better. This time I did the Mojo Monday post on Tuesday! One week I am actually going to do it on Monday. This week I did another birthday card, but that is because I actually did it for my mom to give to a coworker for her birthday. She said their birthday was the day before Spring and that the woman was excited about that so I thought why not add a little Spring into the card!

Mojo Monday - Happy Birthday

So I decided to try my first Mojo Monday...although it is Sunday. The deadline for submission is tonight at 10pm so I have time. The point is that every Monday they release a "sketch" and you use it as inspiration to make your own card. Check out the site here.


Here is the sketch...

Here are my cards...

Crafty Me - Welcome Little One

New Baby Boy Card

Ok so I have improved my card making skills A LOT since my first post when I first started "Stampin' Up". One of my coworkers asked me to make a card for her to give to someone (I forget who) that is having a baby boy. Here is what i came up with!

This is called a "Slider" Card and I got the idea from a YouTube video. I put the link on my Pinterest page. Check it out here.

The top is the card closed and the bottom is the card when you slide it out (using the ribbon) to the right and reveal the rattles.

I think it's cute! Wish I had more supplies to make this kind of stuff, but I think I did pretty good with what I had and thanks to another coworker who let me use her stamps!

Let me know what you think!

I'm Stampin' Up!!!

HELLO WORLD!!!

So I have picked up another hobby...CARD MAKING! I have my co-worker to thank because she invited me to a Stampin' Up card club and I was hooked instantaneously! Bought $120 worth of supplies to get started on my FIRST night!

How it works is you find a Demonstrator and either go to their house or you can host at your house. Mine comes up with the ideas for 3 cards and we just made them using her instruction. We pay $12 and get 6 cards (2 of each) and the envelops to go with them. If you order while there, she even gives you half off of the club price so it's only $6!

We have card club this Friday night and I am super excited to see what she is going to have us do! I love these clubs because you get to try out tools and techniques and see if you like it. I used a few tools last time that I added to my Wish List and I plan to purchase SOON! I love using my imagination so this is wonderful because others get to share in my creativity. You can also make other things, not just cards, but I am just getting my feet wet!

Here are some I have done on my own just to practice and see what I can do! Sorry if it's a little blurry....

I will also be adding my crafts here on Pinterest
