Mojo Monday 132 Welcome Neighbor

Good Monday morning!  It's time for my weekly challenge card made from the Mojo Monday Challenge!

I didn't do a lick of stamping on this card (well, except to stamp the back with my personalized Stampin' Up! stamp!).  Instead I featured the Sale-a-Bration freebie that you can earn with your $50 Stampin' Up! order...Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad!

Sale-a-Bration ends Wednesday!!!

You only have 2 days left to place your online Stampin' Up! order for at least $50 to earn your choice of 4 new clear-mount or wood-mount stamp sets, 77 wood-mount stamps sets from the Idea Book & Catalog, the Scallop Border Punch in the new flat-storage style, or the cute paper pad that I used in my card today!

The Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad is a thick 6" x 6" pad of paper that you can use for your scrapbook pages, cards, or any other papercrafting project you might think of!  It comes with 72 double-sided sheets, 3 of each of the 24 designs...enough for the likes of me to not have to hoard it and actually USE it!

Here are the deets on my Mojo Monday 132 challenge card:

• My Kraft card base is 4-1/4" x 8-1/2" folded in half, making it a 4-1/4" square card...still fits in our regular envelopes!
• I used my Scallop Circles #2 Bigz Die to cut the Crushed Curry card stock in my Big Shot.
• The Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad did all the work, including the one lone cloud floating above the scene that I cut out with my Paper Snips!
• Kraft Taffeta Ribbon put the finishing touch on it.

Don't wait until the last minute to place your online Stampin' Up! order and earn your Sale-a-Bration freebies, because the system will be very busy!  Get your order in NOW and get in the shipping queue before everyone else does!

Sweet Birthday Frost White

This card was a candidate for my Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack, but didn't make the cut.  I still like it, though!

Frost White Shimmer Sweet Birthday

I like the curved paper piercing...easily done with my Pick-a-Petal Classy Brass Template and Paper-Piercing Tool.  When a project is lacking something, usually paper-piercing fits the bill.  Just place the template over your card stock and move it around until you see what you like, then pierce!


I also added a little shimmer to the dotted Kraft card stock, and the cake is coated with Crystal Effects to make it shiny like an epoxy embellishment.

It may have been an event reject, but I think it's good enough to use!


Below you'll find a list of all of the materials I used in this card, complete with item numbers that you can copy and paste into your shopping card when you place your Stampin' Up! order with me...remember that for every $50 you spend, you'll get to pick a free stamp set, paper stack, or punch while Sale-a-Bration lasts through the end of March!

What Have You Done for YOU Lately?

Are you exhausted by the time you pick your kids up from school or daycare?

Would you like the kids to look forward to coming home from school instead of wondering if you'll be cranky or too tired to spend time with them?  Your family and your sanity are important.  Is your job robbing you of either one?

Working from home doing something you love would allow you to ditch the boss and office politics, not to mention all that time commuting and witnessing road rage!

You deserve better!

Imagine your peaceful household during the day, your new workplace:  You've met old and new friends in the course of your flexible business day, you've picked up the house in between, you can hear the birds singing outside, and the coffee never tasted so good while taking a break on the deck.  You look forward to greeting your loving children with hugs, a plate of warm cookies, and time devoted to them every day!

YOU can have this, just like I do!  This business is flexible...some days you work hard and some days you take the day off for yourself or for your family!  It's entirely up to you and there's no time sheet to fill out!

If you'd like more information on joining my US team and owning your own stamping business in your town, contact me and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.

My "desk" blotter...not full of dull meeting schedules and bored scribblings, but alive with flitting hummingbirds, blue skies, cute lions, drafts of creativity, and encouraging stamped words!

I'll be over here if you need me, watching the mountain bluebirds and the bald eagles while I work!  Then again, I might be on the deck enjoying the warm sun, or taking a walk to get some fresh air.  Won't you join me?


Click to read more about it and even sign up now if you'd like.

Michelle

Chocolate Bunny Carrot Treat

Easter is less than 2 weeks away!  This Easter basket is really easy to whip out if you need something cute and quick:

Chocolate Bunny Carrot for Easter

Here's how I made it:

• Cut a Pumpkin Pie Scallop Circle with the Big Shot, then curl at one end and use Sticky Strip to secure.
• Attach ribbon handles with 2 brads and the Crop-a-Dile hole punch to each side.
• Decorate with the Wide Oval & Scallop Oval Punches.  I stamped the Happy Easter greeting in Basic Black Classic Ink from the Well Scripted stamp set onto Green Galore Card Stock.
• The Chocolate Bunny is stamped on Close to Cocoa Card Stock in VersaMark ink and embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, & I adhered him to the inside of the carrot with Mini Glue Dots.
• Fill with crimped and shredded Easter grass (make your own if you like!) and top with jelly beans or other treats!

It's been in the 60s, and beautiful sunny weather like that feels like paradise after a long winter!

Mojo Monday 131 Paradise

This week's Mojo Monday Challenge sketch was for a long card, so I planned mine to fit into our Stampin' Up! Small Open-End Envelopes #107286 that are 6-3/4" x 3-1/2".

• I cut my card base to 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" then scored and folded it in half.
• Next I stamped one of the leaves from the Paradise stamp set in VersaMark ink onto the So Saffron card base for a tone-on-tone background.
• The Chocolate Chip 5/8" Satin Ribbon is a nice compliment to the colors in this card, with a bow tied off the side.
• The center panel of Chocolate Chip Card Stock is 4-1/2" wide by 2-1/2" tall, then each rectangle of Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack (available in a stack of 48 sheets of double-sided 12" x 12" paper in the Occasions Mini Catalog until April 30th) is 1-3/8" x 2-3/8".
• The Paradise leaves were stamped on Old Olive Card Stock in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and cut out with my favorite Paper Snips from Stampin' Up!.
• The finishing touch was a quick and easy greeting from the Chocolate Chip Chit Chat Rub-Ons package that has a second sheet of Whisper White greetings...both sheets total about 186 rub-ons!!!!!  A worthy purchase for the number of projects you can use them for!

Thanks for visiting paradise today!  Click to see my other challenge projects I've completed.


Below you'll find a list of all of the materials I used in this Mojo Monday challenge card, complete with item numbers that you can copy and paste into your shopping card when you place your Stampin' Up! order with me...remember that for every $50 you spend, you'll get to pick a free stamp set, paper stack, or punch while Sale-a-Bration lasts through the end of March!
