Birthday Girl in pink

Morning, it's Monday again so that means it's time for a project from me made using the lovely goodies from Craft Mojo. 

This gorgeous little girl and the sentiment is from a MFT stamp set called Cupcake Cutie and she's coloured in with Copics. 

The background paper, the twine and the adhesive pearls are all from Doodlebug.

Happy Birthday dog

Morning, happy Monday! Today's card uses one of the elements and a sentiment from the MFT Cupcake Cutie stamp set- isn't that do just soon cute?

I've simply coloured the image by using some Distress Inks as watercolour- I dab the ink onto an acrylic block and then pick up the colour using a water brush. 

To finish the card I added a few Doodlebug Jewels and a coating of Wink of Stella (of course).

Christening

Morning, today I have a Christening card to share with you today.

To make this card I've used the absolutely gorgeous MFT Floral- Fusion Cover-up die to cut some Doodlebug textured card. I layered the die-cut panel on some coordinating card and added a seam-binding ribbon bow and a MFT die-cut tag/banner (from a Blueprints die set).

To accent the flowers I've added Doodlebug pearls to the centre of the larger die-cut flowers.

Easter Egg

Morning, I've decided to make a little Easter card but with a slightly non-traditional theme. 

I've made a little fried egg on toast using the Paper Smooches "Wake up" stamp set. The plate was created with circle dies and the toast and egg-yolk were actually stamped on Doodlebug Patterned paper. I've also used some Doodlebug paper in the background to give the luck of a table cloth. 

To make the egg look like it had been fried I added Glossy accents and I made the sentiment by using die cut letters and attaching them to some Doodlebug twine. The little "Happy" is from the Paper Smooches Birthday Word Dies.

Off we go a camping (again)

Morning, for today's card I've used dies from the MFT Roughing It set along with a sentiment from the co-ordinating stamp set.  I love this die-set it has so many little elements in in like twigs, marshmallows, two sizes of campfire, trees and the tent- I can see I'll use it for lots of other occasions in the future.

I've added some shading using Copics and a little bit of Wink of Stella on the fire and clouds.

Happy Camper

Hello, happy Monday.

I've used the MFT Roughing it Stamp set (for the sentiment) and the MFT Roughing It die set to create the tent and fire. I've also used the MFT Wood Plank and Burlap background stamps to create texture on the Crafters Companion Neenah Desert Storm card.

The coloured, patterned paper is from the Happy Camper Doodlebug 6x6 paper pad and to age it a little I've treated it like the Kraft card and inked the edges a little. Finally, I've add a little string detail around the middle with the natural ivory coloured twine.  

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday

Morning, for this week's Craft Mojo post I've REALLY kept my card nice and simple. 

I've covered my base card with some pretty Doodlebug paper and then stamped some tiny flowers on the lower half using a flower stamp form the MFT Whimsical Wishes stamp set. I've stamped the flowers in Memento Espresso Truffle Brown ink as it's a little softer than black. 

To make the sentiment strip I cut a piece of cream card using a die from the MFT Blueprints 18 set. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Whimsical Wishes stamp set and added the little starburst in between, stamped in Memento pink ink. Finally, I added some tiny Doodlebug sprinkles to the two little starbursts. 

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget the 30% discount on everything in the Craft Mojo continues!!!!

Make each day a masterpiece

Morning, it's Monday- the last one of the month already!! Today I have a card made using a lovely set from MFT called Whimsical Wishes which is available from Craft Mojo AND Sally is having a relocation sale so EVERYTHING has 30% off at the moment!!!!

So, here's my card, I really like the sentiment- it's such a general though that it could be used in some many ways. Here I've tried to interpret it literally by making my card a little work of art. First I placed the outline stamps and a sentiment, I stamped them using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Next I added the solid circles using Distress ink. Then I added Doodlebug sequins in co-ordinating colours. 

After I finished the card, and in line with the sentiment, I decided to "frame" the card by making it into a shaker card. I did this by cutting an aperture and then added a sheet of window plastic behind it. I also stamped a row of the scribble circles onto the frame and added sequins to each one.

Finally, I put 3D foam on the back of the frame, added more Doodlebug sequins before sealing the card up. 

Thanks for stopping by today! (sorry about the photos, I just couldn't get the lighting right)

Bear Hugs

Morning, happy Monday. Today's Craft Mojo card features an adorable paper-pieced bear. I think it would make an ideal valentines card for a man!

The image, sentiment and sign are all from the Happy Camper stamp set (Paper Smooches). As it happens most of the Doodlebug papers I've used also came from a 6x6 pad called Happy Camper.

Whilst the bear and the sign have been fussy cut by hand the square pieces have been cut using square from the MFT pierced square STAX and the curvy landscapes were made using the Paper Smooches stitched dies which I then hand cut along. 

If you didn't already know Sally is have a relocation sale and everything in the shop has a massive 30% off so now is the time to stock up on a few essentials or bag yourself a bargain!!

Penguin Party

Morning, Rebecca here and today I have a card that features an adorable penguin image from the Create a Smile stamp set- Penguin Party. The images are so cute and very versatile, I also like how easy they are to colour and cut out!

I've stamped the image using Black Tuxedo Memento ink onto Neenah white card stock, then I coloured it with Copic Ciao pens and added a layer of Wink of Stella. 

The papers are all from Doodlebug as are the pink sequins.

You're a good egg!

Morning, it's the first Monday of 2015 and time for a Craft Mojo DT post. Today I thought I'd share a fun little card using two of my most favourite companies- Paper Smooches and Doodlebug. 

I've created a little scene here using stamped images from the Paper Smooches Wake up stamp set which are stamped with Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with my NEW Copic Ciao Markers- I adore them sooooooooo much (they aren't listed in the Craft Mojo shop yet but if you email Sally with your colour choices she does have them in stock). I've also added a touch of Wink of stella to the egg to make it look shiny and "fried"! Everything has been stuck together using another favorite- Tombow mono multi glue. 

I've made a "plate" using some MFT circle dies from a couple of Blueprints sets and a little "table cloth" from Doodlebug paper (Springtime 6x6) which was cut using a rectangle die from the MFT Stitched Rectangle die STAX.  I also used a sheet of the paper (with chickens on) to cover the card base too.

Finally, I added the sentiment onto a little MFT die cut flag and attached some Doodlebug twine.

Thank you!

Hello, it's my very last Craft Mojo DT post of 2014 and I thought I would share a thank you card with you.

  
I've used the gingerbread couple from the Giddygum Drops stamp set and coloured them using my new Copic Ciao pens (these are available from Craft Mojo but not listed in the shop- just drop Sally an email with your colour choices). They image is stamped onto a piece of Neenah cardstock which was cut at an angle using the MFT Blueprints 18 die and then the cross stitches were added using the Papersmooches Stitched die. 

The little hearts are also from the Papersmooches stamp set and the sentiment is from the PS Pretty Phrases set. Finally, I added a length of twine.

Peace Wreath

Morning, happy Monday- gosh, I can't believe it's the last Craft Mojo Monday before Christmas and I have my last Christmas card to share with you.

I've used the Wplus9 Woodland Wreath stamp set and matching dies. I adore this set- it has lots of two-step stamps which is how I've achieved all the shading on the elements. I've used Memento inks- I love these little dew drop ink pads!!! 

I popped all the elements up on 3D foam and then attached the wreath to the base card which I covered with some Snow Day Lawn Fawn paper. Finally, I added a short length of natural twine and the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas!!!

Thanks a million tags

Hello, I hope you're well. I'm back with some little festive tags made with goodies from Craft Mojo.

The tag has been cut using the Papersmooches stitched tag die and stamped with the MFT Swiss Dots Background stamp.

The snowflakes and banner were cut from Doodleug papers, the snowflakes were die cut using MFT Let it Snowflake dies and have Doodlebug sequins embellishing them. The banner message is from the Papersmooches Blissful Banners stamp set.

Baby Girl

Morning, today's card is a baby girl card.

The main elephant image is from a Jane's Doodles stamp set called Jungle Baby. I stamped the image onto patterned paper from the Carta Bella- True Friends pad, before cutting it out and then layering it on to several die cut pinking-edged circles of coordinating paper. The circles were cut using the MFT Pinking Edge Circle STAX.

The little sentiment flag was made with a sentiment from the stamp set and a the smallest die from the MFT Stitched Rectangle STAX.

Finally, to embellish the card I used some pink seam binding, some Doodlebug sequins and a little crystal charm.

Pop-up Christmas card

Morning, Rebecca here with a Christmas pop-up box card. 

Once I'd made the card (more details can be found on my personal blog) I covered all the visible parts with Lawn Fawn Snow Days Christmas paper.

Inside the "box" you need a few additional strips of card to attach your elements to, this gives the depth to the card. The Polar bears, the cup and the sign are all from the Cool Day MFT stamp set and the other elements are from the Christmas Cuteness set.  I tried to colour all the images with similar tones to the paper.

I also used the Papersmooches stiched border die to make snow snowdrifts to cover up the supporting card strips that each of the stamped elements are on. To embellish the finished card I added MFT die-cut snowflakes, Doodlebug Sequins, a paper bow cut using the MFT Dainty Bow die, Stickles glitter glue and some Doodlebug gems and pearls. 

Thanks for stopping by today!!

From both of us

Morning, I hope you're okay. 

For this week's card I decided to use the cute Polar Bears from the MFT Cool Day stamp set, which are stamped on the matching die cuts. 

I coloured the bears to look like a couple and I have them sitting on an iceberg, also from the set which is floating just of the shore of the North Pole. The snowy landscape was cut using the MFT Snow Difts die and covered in lashings of Wink of stella.  I also add some Stickles glitter glue to the snow on the North Pole Sign....

The background for the card was made by stamping the MFT Swiss Dots background stamp in Memento Summer sky ink. And to finish the sentiment is a die cut made using the Papersmoochs Christmas Word dies and surrounded by a few Doodlebug sequins (of course).

This calls for a toast!!

Morning, happy Craft Mojo Monday! Today's card uses a gorgeous and cute Papersmooches stamp set called "Wake up" along with some bright a beautiful Doodlebug patterned papers. 

I stamped the images on to Neenah Solar white card using my trusted Black Memento ink pad, coloured them with Promarkers and then fussy cut them out. 

The little background patterned panel was cut using the largest square from the MFT Die-namics Pierced Square STAX. 

Hope this bright and cheery little card has brightened up your Monday!

Happy Birthday!!

Morning, back again! This time I have a birthday card to share with you that use lots of lovely items which are available from the Craft Mojo shop!!

I've covered the bottom of the card with some spotty Doodlebug paper (from the Forest Friends pack), just above this I've tied a length of Doodlebug twine and then attached the Wplus9 die cut "happy", which is cut from a piece of card which I sprayed with Hero Arts ink and then finished with a layer of Wink of Stella. 

The little fishtail banner is cut using a die from the MFT Blueprints 18 set and as a Wplus9 sentiment stamped on it. To finish the card and pull together all the different shades of green and torquiest I added a selection of Doodlebug sequins.
