MOJO428 "I WHEELIE LIKE YOU" card using Lawn Fawn stamp and Memory Box Dies




I have been eyeing the Mojo Monday Sketch #428 for a little while. Last night I was finally able to make a card using it.   When I started the card I wanted to use a "hello" word die, but after getting everything cut, I realized it was just a tad too big.   I used some dies from a MFT Blueprints sets for the circle and the pinked circle layer under it.


I used this sketch from Mojo Monday:  MOJO428

MFTWSC261 "GODSPEED" card using Stampin' UP! For Your Country stamp set




I finally ordered the Stampin' UP! stamp set "For Your Country" and this is my first time inking it up.  I used only brown card stock, brown ink, brown brads and white card stock. I have an old CTMH stamp set that I think was called "Army" that has Combat boots in it, they are my favorite stamps in each of the two sets.

The circle layers that the brads are on was a repair.  I had everything put together and then pierced the holes for the brads and pierced them too close to the brown strip.  I die-cut the circles and put the brads on them and attached it to the card front.  



I used this sketch from MFT that is this week's MFTWSC261:


SUPPLIES;
card stock:  Brown, White
ink: Memento Brown
stamps: Stampin' UP! For Your Country
accessories: Scor-Pal, MFT Blueprints, Spellbinders Embossabilities Kickin Rubber Embossing Folder, Paper Piercer, Brown Brads and Foam Tape

VLDEC2015 "LAND OF THE FREE Because of the BRAVE" ~ "GOD BLESS AMERICA" Verve stamps Patriotic card


I haven't made a Patriotic card in a while which is too long of a while for me.  Red, White and Blue is my favorite color combination.  I unfortunately didn't keep any of my Patriotic paper pads with me, I shipped them all. I did however have a paper pad from Authentique called "Abroad" and there are Red, White and Blue on the pages of the pad.     Not sure if it shows up in the picture or not, but I sponged the edges of the banner, the circle and the dotted strip under the star.

**ON THE LINK BELOW FOR THE SKETCH..  is a link to a FREE download of Cup of Kindness.. A Free digi stamp set from Verve Stamps.  Thank you!!


The VivalaVerve Sketches is on Holiday Vacation ~ there is a sketch on the post and that is what I used for my card.   I added a strip because my star looked lonely in the corner without it.

SIP26 "LOT OF ASSORTED QUICK & EASY CHRISTMAS CARDS"


Last weekend I purchased a paper pad at Michael's that is from Recollections and called Red & White Christmas. There are two sheets in the pad that have all these panels on them. I cut them all apart and layered them onto black card stock.  I then cut apart a gray and a red sheet of pattern paper from the pad and layered them onto black card stock.   .. fast forward to Tuesday when the new Stamp Ink Paper challenge #26 was posted so I decided to cut a bunch of little flag banners and get to making some cards.    I have a bunch more of these panels to use on cards, but only put this group together last night. Two of the panels had no sayings on them, so I stamped the "May Your Days Be Merry & Bright" stamp from the Joy To The World on them.


This week's STAMP INK PAPER CHALLENGE #26:
SUPPLIES;
card stock:  black, white, red and foil paper. Pattern Paper Recollections Red & White Christmas
stamps:  Hero Arts Joy To The World
ink: Versafine Black
accessories:  Scor-Pal, MFT Circle Stax Die-namics

SSSC297 "HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS" Crazy Bird card



As soon as I saw this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #297 I knew right away that I wanted to use my Crazy Bird and Crazy Talk stamps.   I colored several birds, but couldn't get the  coloring I liked with Reds and Blues.  I decided to color one in blues and then die cut it, but didn't do a good job die-cutting ~ so I tossed it aside. I colored another bird and then took the piece of card stock I had die-cut the other bird from and used it as a template to get the die lined up right this time.    The Crazy Bird stamps just crack me up! 

Here is this week's SSSC297 Sketch


SUPPLIES:

card stock: black, white. Pattern paper Recollections Cozy Lodge
stamps:  Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Crazy Birds, Crazy Things and Crazy Talk

MFTWSC257 "YOU ARE MY FAVORITE.. NUFF SAID" Jimmie Johnson card




I have been trying to get this card uploaded all night ~ however my son needed to use the laptop for some homework, so I had to wait.  I was trying to get it loaded since tonight is the NASCAR Championship Banquet.  My favorite driver is Jimmie Johnson.  A couple of months ago I saw a post in a FB resale group I am in, for a package of 12 x 12 Jimmie Johnson scrapbook papers.. I about fell out of my seat..  me please!!!  I was over the top to get the papers.  

Stashed away in all my stuff that is currently sitting in storage in another state, is my beloved Dale Earnhardt scrapbook papers, stickers, etc.  I have lots of pictures that I took at Rockingham Speedway in 1996. Dale Earnhardt won the race that day. I was so excited that my first NASCAR race and my favorite driver of all time won the race!!!  Anyways..  I kept it all packed up in the packaging it was mailed to me in. I bought it from a scrapbook store that Dale's daughter Kelley owned. My world was rocked the day that Dale died. I didn't watch any NASCAR for a few years. When I started watching again I would pull for a few different drivers, not picking a favorite, then one day I decided that Jimmie Johnson was the driver for me to pull for. It was an easy pick, since his main sponsor is my favorite store in whole wide world~ LOWE'S!!!  

Okay.. back to the card..  I used this week's MFTWSC257 for my card:

SUPPLIES:
card stock: white, black, MFT Lemon Drop. Pattern Paper Jimmie Johnson by EK Success
stamps:  Paper Smooches Uplifters
ink: Versafine Black
accessories:  Scor-Pal, MFT Circle Stax, MFT Star Stax, MFT Fishtail Banners Stax, Darice Star Embossing Folder, Paper Piercer, Black Brads and Foam Tape
