Mojo Melon Mambo

Hi Everyone,

Thought I’d better get in and do my Mojo Monday card for this week, here it is…

 and here is the sketch….

    

I have stamped the large rose from Fifth Avenue Floral in Crumb Cake ink on the white base, framed it with Melon Mambo and went ballistic with the paper piercing tool! I love how the Mat Pack keeps you going in straight lines.

A little (well sort of little) package arrived just in time from Stampin’ Up with my order this month and I was able to use the Floral Fusion sizzlit to make a flower. I stamped in Melon Mambo on the white flowers that I had cut (using the Triple Tread flower stamp). 

The little leaves sizzlit is there too.

Designer Frames embossing folder with Oval All stamp set for the sentiment and it’s layered onto a crimped piece of Crumb Cake that has been swiped over with White Shimmer Paint.

I went with a colour combo from Dynamic Duos

Crumb Cake with Melon Mambo was my choice, only Whisper White kind of got in there.

Hope you like my card today, I’ve had a rather crafty afternoon and have a couple more cards to share with you using Crumb Cake card stock over the next few days. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you again soon..

Matchbook Note Holder

Hi Everyone,

Just thought I’d quickly share this cute little matchbook that I made some time ago now.

It was done in Rich Razzleberry / Tempting Turquoise / Black card stock. For a little project, there sure are quite a few tools used here:-

Beautiful Wings Sizzlit die, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch and the  Extra Large Oval Punch, Scallop Edge punch, and Ribbon Border Punch! Embossing folders – Square Lattice and Designer Frame, stamp sets – Oval All and My Friend.

The stamped image was done on glossy paper and sponged over with matching inks – maybe a little Island Indigo too – since I love that colour so much! It was then cut out with the Extra Large oval punch – as this fits inside the Designer Frame almost perfectly! I just ripped around the frame for a rustic edge.

Here it is opened up

And here’s a different view

If you’d like to make one of these yourself, there is a tutorial on Split Coast Stampers you can go in search of.

 I’d like to share it with Come and Get it Challenges – cute as a bug , and I picked the cutest bug of course – a butterfly!

Hope I’ve given you some inspiration – be back in a day or so again
