MOJO202 Anniversary Card

I used the MojoMonday Sketch#202 here for this anniversary card. I also used my Color Coach to get this color combo of Baha Breeze, Island Indigo and Rich Razzleberry.
The base is Island Indigo card stock and I added some Baha Breeze and then Baha patterned paper from the Pocketful of Posies DSP. The Razzleberry paper is also from the Pocketful of Posies DSP. I stamped the flower from Vintage Vogue in Razzleberry, cut it out and added an Island Indigo Designer Printed Brad. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the greeting from Vintage Vogue in Island Indigo. I put that all on a Whisper White circle that was cut out with the Circles#2 Big Shot die. That was layered onto an Indigo piece punched with the 2 1/2 inch Scallop Circle punch and popped up with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped the triangles from Pennant Parade in Baha Breeze and cut them out. Finally, some 1/4 inch Rich Razzleberry grosgrain was snipped out with scissors to create the banner look.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps:  Vintage Vogue and Pennant Parade
Papers: Whisper White, Baha Breeze, Island Indigo, Rich Razzleberry, Pocketful of Posies DSP

Christmas in July with Pennant Parade

I was making some samples for my Open House today and I used the Pennant Parade set for this cute Christmas card.
I ran the Wild Wasabi card stock base thru the Big Shot with the Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions Embossing folder. I added some Poppy DSP from the Pocketful of Posies DSP. I ran a strip of Whisper White thru the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch. The tree was stamped in Wild Wasabi and cut out. The base is in Early Espresso and the star in Poppy Parade. I punched out the star with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack. The 1 3/8 inch Circle punch was used on a Whisper White piece and the 1 3/4 inch Scallop Circle punch on the Poppy piece. I added dots with my White Gel pen and popped up the entire scalloped circle with Stampin' dimensionals. Merry from Pennant Parade was stamped in Poppy Parade and punched out with the Small Oval punch.

New Papers with Retiring Stamp Set

This card uses a retiring stamp from the Fun & Fast Notes stamp set but new papers from the Pocketful of Posies Designer Series Papers. I also used the MojoMonday Sketch#196 here.
The base is Rich Razzleberry and I added some Razzleberry DSP's from Pocketful of Posies. I inked up the cake stamp from Fun & Fast Notes in Basic Black and colored it in with my Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Write markers. I used the Coluzzle to cut the ovals from Whisper White and Rich Razzleberry and popped them up with Stampin' dimensionals. The square is more Pocketful of Posies DSP and matted with Crumb Cake. The 1 1/4 inch Circle punch was used on more DSP and the 1 3/4 inch Circle punch on some Rich Razzleberry. Finally, some 5/8 inch Old Olive grosgrain ribbon that is retiring finishes it off.

Dad's Card using Sneak Peeks

This is a Father's Day card I made using some Sneak Peek items. I used the Pocketful of Posies DSP and the Pennant Parade stamp set. The sketch I used is the Splitcoast Sketch#337 here.
The base is Early Espresso card stock and I added some papers from the Pocketful of Posies DSP. I ran a piece of Crumb Cake thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice textured impressions embossing folder. I stamped one of the pennants from Pennant Parade in Early Espresso and used the XL Petite Pennants Punch to punch them out. I stamped Happy Father's Day from Teeny Tiny Wishes  in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla and punched it out with the Word Window punch. That was layered on to an Early Espresso piece punched with the Modern Label punch. I used a retired alphabet set, Short Order Alphabet, to stamp the letters in Early Espresso and punch them out with the 3/4 inch Circle punch. The circles were popped up with Stampin' dimensionals. Finally, I hung the pennants from a sliver of Early Espresso.
