Good Morning Fellow Stampers -
TGIF! The good news is that the sun is shining this morning; the bad news is the next snowstorm slides into town this evening, and we're under another winter storm watch - eeek! So Mom and I have bounced our little birthday get-together for her birthday since last weekend; but we've settled on today so that we can stay in where it's warm and dry tomorrow. Brunch, and a little shopping; I think we'll dye our Easter eggs today, and probably spend some time on the Heritage Album. Should be a nice day!
So while we're off having fun, I'll leave you with my MOJO Monday [MOJO440] challenge design to keep you inspired and send you off to your crafting spaces!! Have fun!
Here's my color palate for today's design. Try clicking on the squares! You'll love that it takes you to my Online Store and shows you all the products available in that colorway!!
Doggone Delightful Stampin' Design Tips:
- Layerothology. This card base is cut from Very Vanilla cardstock, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4", turned with the fold to the top. The background is Sahara Sand, embossed with the World Traveler textured impressions embossing folder and matted with Basic Black cardstock.
- Banners Galore. The horizontal layering is a series of 3/4" to 1" banners cut from Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Going Places designer paper. I love the artistic swirl in this particular paper which echos my color scheme for this design. The vertical pieces are a different style of "banner" using the same paper, matted with Basic Black, and popped with dimensionals. I purposely kept the mid-layers smaller in size so as not to cover the background embossing, which was an important element of my design to this card.
- Picture Perfect. I have not had a chance to use this stamp set yet, so I was determined to give it a whirl with today's design. I love this set and hope to play more with it shortly. In keeping today's design more "masculine" I chose the lovely 2-step stamping Starfish image; stamping it first in Crumb Cake, then stamping the second layer in Versamark and embossing with a mixture of Clear and Irridescent Ice embossing powders. This little guys just sparkles in the light. He is fussy cut, and backed with two 2" circles, layered together for a nice background.
- Greatest Greetings. I chose the sentiment for today's card from the Greatest Greetings stamp set, stamped in Sahara Sand on Very Vanilla. I fussy-cut this banner, curved it with my bone folder, attached it with glue dots so it would stand up a little, and added some Neutral Enamel Dots in Basic Black for a nice finished pop of color. I think this card is the perfect little reminder for that special someone in your life how important they are to you -- not just at Valentine's Day!
I hope you have enjoyed today's card design! Remember, it's all in the details 😉
Have a fabulous day everyone! Remember, I'm only an email away for anything you need, or any questions you have!
