Birthday Girl/MOJO#420

Hello all! I just arrived home from North Carolina on Saturday afternoon after a wonderful 10 days. While there we scouted out areas in NC we would consider moving to next year, we did some house hunting, and spent time with our children and their families. Tiring, but fun.

I was able to get some much needed time in my Studio today. Good thing! I realized I didn't have a Birthday card for one of my my little princesses, Amelia, who will be 2 this week. 

MOJO#420 came to my rescue! 

I love the bright papers in the Cherry on Top DSP and I'm sure Amelia will also. The #2 was cut using my Cricut Explore which was  layered. I added some Crystal effects to the candle wick and some small dots to add interest to the number.





Make your Tuesday great and go do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,

Just this and that today

Yesterday and today I have been trying to get back into my Studio to get some cards and crafty things created.  I did manage to do that, but boy am I RUSTY! Although I gleaned some great inspiration from the web, my little 3x3's really lack the WOW factor.

I love the papers, but not loving the finished product. I made 2 sets of 3 to send along with a thank you to some friends on the East Coast who hosted us while we were there.I thought about starting over with these, but I really would like to get them out tomorrow. So, I guess they go "as is"...

The card was a CAS card, but unfortunately, I don't have a name to give the person credit. If I come across it, I'll post it.

CASEd from Karen Page

This is a card I made for my husbands birthday Sunday. I did CAS this one also, but I really like the CAS card better.  I added the bottom gray panel to cover a ink oops, but should have started over. I'm really not loving the panel, I feel it it just makes the card look to busy and off balance. If I have the time tomorrow, I will be making another one.

Boy, this post is sounding very "Debbie Downer".  I tend to be my own worst critic. I'm sorry for that. I promise to be more upbeat in future posts. ;o)

Have a great weekend and I hope you get to do something CRAFTY!

Get Well / MOJO Monday#408

 

Today is a card made using the MOJO#408 sketch.  I recently was going through all my cards and reorganizing and filing them into appropriate categories.  I saw that I had only one actual get well card. So my mission today was to use this sketch to fill that void.

I just recently received my August July Paper Pumpkin, and it included a Get Well stamp. PERFECT!

Actually, all the images on the card are from the July kit. The finished card size is, 3 1/2" x 6" so this card called for a specialty envie using the SU Envelope Punch Board. This board makes doing that so easy.  My card size was listed, so all I had to do is cut the paper and follow the simple instructions listed on the board.  I added the tea cup and flower on the front of the envelope and just the outline of the flower on the back flap.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your day and go do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,
BernieBee

Me?Miss You? / Mojo Monday

I have a very quick post tonight. This card is based on a sketch by MOJO Monday. 

The stars on this card were used as part of the design with a special meaning. My 4 year old grandson, Kempton,  seems to be  into stars right now. I'm  really not sure why.

Since he lives in NC and I live in CA, keeping in touch with him is important. The sentiment from the SU "Happy Happenings" was perfect to let him know how much I missed him.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and are able to do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,
BernieBee

Congratulations!

Yesterday I decided to play along with the SUO CHALLENGE, Stars and Stripes, although I didn't add stripes my card which I hope still will qualify.

I haven't  played along many times with this challenge and,  honestly, I don't know why. It's really a great way for me to use my Stampin' Up products. The Star Framelits with matching Eclectic template for example. This was my first time using either of these products. :0)

 The paper in the Cherry on Top DSP stack is so much fun. I love the designs and colors and I used coordinating card stock for the stars and layering on this card.

 I also used the star from the Circle Cards thinlits. It nested perfectly with smaller star in the Star dies. The Congratulations sentiment from the Bravo Stamp set worked great for the finishing touch.

Have a wonderful day and go do something CRAFTY! Why not play along with the challenge over at SUO and get out those much loved, but seldom used products!

Hugs,

Bernie Bee
