Mojo Monday 231 - You're My Sweetheart

I am having a case of Spring Fever! It is sunny and rainy, and I have a HUGE list of things I want to do. So much to do, so little time. And the weather is really not cooperating on my schedule either! So since it was rainy this weekend, I scratched working in the garden and riding my bike to craft. Here is one of the cards I crafted:

I made this card for the Mojo Monday 231 Challenge.  I was so excited for this one, as I just purchased a couple of new Cricut Cartridges and had the perfect one to make the half circle shape on the top!  And I think it turned out very lovely! I tried something I never have before on this one as well... I used blue, brown, and black as the colors... not a normal color combination for me, but it worked out nicely. What do you think?

Supplies used:

Kraft, black, and blue paper (Recollections); Ribbon (Offray); Adhesive gems (small - Recollections, large - Darice); Stamp & ink (Studio G); Die Cuts (Ornamental Iron 2 and Damask Decor Cricut Cartridges);

Mojo Monday 226 - Card

Look at the fun card I made for the Mojo Monday #226 Challenge!  Of course I used my new Cricut to help embellish along the way :)  I love my new machine, I honestly do not know what I ever did without it.  It has really opened up a new world of embellishments for me.  However, I have my eye on an embossing machine next, so anyone with feedback on the best way to go, please let me know!

I have not had time lately to craft or craft for challenges, so I was so excited to get back in the swing of things. What do you think of this card?

Supplies used:

Patterned paper - red and black (DCWV); Cardstock (Recollections); Stamp & ink (Studio G); Flower and leave punch (Martha Steward Crafts); Border punch (Fiskars); Die (Cricut with Damask Decor cartridge); Adhesive gem (Recollections); Adhesives (Elmer's and pop dots).

Mojo Monday #223 - Birthday Card

For Mojo Monday's #223 challenge I made this very girly card! It reminds me of my one of my best buds, Becky.  She loves pink and black. :)

This one is quite busy for a "Tiffany Original" as my sister coined my cards that I make. I normally try to keep mine more simple, but I had fun making it nonetheless. I probably would never have put this together without the neat inspiration of the sketch below, but after making it I really am quite proud! What do you think?

Supplies used:

Patterned paper (DCWV); Black glitter paper (Colorbok); Ribbon (Celebrate it); Brads (Making Memories); Plastic flowers (Making Memories); Stamp & ink (Studio G); Border punch (Fiskars); Adhesives (Elmer's, Pop Dots)

Thanks a Bunch - Challenge Card

So far I have never tried to make a card that fit more than one challenge, but this weekend due to the hectic schedule and just pure number of challenges I want to try, I combined two challenges into one card! One, Inkspirations #98, was a color challenge, where you had to use Saffron Yellow, Wasabi Green, Rose Red, and Whisper White as colors.  The second, Mojo Monday was to incorporate their sketch design in your card.  What do you think?



Supplies used:

Patterned papers & card stock (DCWV), adhesive (Elmer's), Glitter paper (DCWV), punches (Martha Stewart Crafts), ribbon (Offray), button (vintage), stamp & ink (Studio G).
