Mojo Monday 97

Here's what I came up with for this week's Mojo Monday sketch. The colours are Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo. I used the coloured letterpress technique with the texturz plate, and "rocked and rolled" the bird from the Always set.

Thanks for looking!

Two Cards using the New In Colours

This was one of the make n' takes at my open house today. It's a super simple, yet effective card to make. The butterflies were cut out using Stampin' Up's Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die and the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes was punched out using the fabulous new Modern Label Punch. The Designer Series Paper is my new favourite, Razzleberry Lemonade.

Here's another card I made using the Razzle Dazzle set. I really like how the two larger stamps in this set can be used as an all-over background, as well as on their own. So versatile! Thanks for looking!

Playing With the New In Colours!

I've been having so much fun playing with my new stamps and In Colours. I got the idea for this fun and handy bookmark from this video on the Stampin' Up YouTube channel. I used the Rock and Roll technique to get the two-toned effect of the flower.




I also whipped up these little guys today. I attached some adhesive-backed magnetic strips to give them some holding power. Notice the new Modern Label punch? Love how it works so well with the Word Window and the Designer Label punches.

By the way, the book in the photos, The Secret Life of Bees, is a great read if you're looking for one; I'm just finishing it up now. In the summer, I have the luxury of time to catch up on the pile of books I accumulate all through the school year. There's nothing better than lying out on my back deck on a chaise lounge with a good book and an icy glass of lemonade, reading the afternoon away!
