I have missed the last couple of Mojo Monday Challenges. So, I’m thrilled to show off some new stamps and accessories from the new Stampin’ Up!2012-2013 catalog for the this weeks challenge.
- It was a breeze selecting papers that go together. I choose this lovely Designer paper called Comfort Cafe. I could see a cafe using wall paper like this. It would create such a nice cozy feel. The beautiful warm colors.
- You are going to have a lot of fun using the stamp set Bety’s Blossoms. There are enough stamps to really create some different looks. You’ll be able to order it June 1. I used the small flower on the center circle and I love how easy the bird is to snip out. I added Dimensionals to help it pop off the card. I did the same with the flowers.
- I love adding ribbon to my cards. I used the new 1/4 Grosgrain Stitched ribbon in Daffodil Delight. The sentiment comes from a favorite set called Curly Cute.

Simply Punches
My apologies for being absent all week. Allergies had gotten the best of me. The medication made me sleepy and in a constant brain fog..lol.
I have a card here made from two Oval punches and the Cup Cake Builder punch. This card is for a young man in his late teens and I thought the bright colors and shapes would work well.
- To make the large ovals I started out with the large oval punch and made a punch. I came back in with the extra large oval punch and punch around the
opening of the large oval.
- I then took the Build a Cupcake punch and punched out a bunch of candles and mixed them among the ovals creating a nice splash of color. The sentiment is from the stamp set create a cupcake.
I received my Sneak Peek products from the New Catalog last week. I will start creating examples using these new products and posting them. These new products and many more will be available June 1st in the new Stampin’ Up! 2012-2013 Catalog.

Stenciling Your Cards
Stenciling your cards is a great way to add some variation to your card techniques. It gives a more see through look then directly stamping an image. I started with 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 base in Sahara Sand. I took a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Chocolate Chip and ran it through the Big Shot in the square Lattice embossing folder.
I used the DSP Mocha Morning Specialty. This paper will be retiring May 31st. I inked around the edges in Early Espresso to give it an aged look. I made my
stencil using the Little Leaves die cut. I removed the leaves and used the cut out portion as in the picture.
I used Old Olive ink and a sponge Dauber to apply it. Get the sponge inked up and with a pouncing motion move over the stencil. You can add more ink in areas to give a shaded effect. When finished move the stencil to another area and repeat. I finished it off with by tying a knot and adding a sentiment from the Faith in Nature Stamp Set.

Paper Doily and Color Wash
This card was made for a card swap using the Big Shot. The paper Doily is so pretty and intricate. I used a die cut for this It made for removing all those little pieces a real pain..lol. I learned later from the other demonstrators to wrap it around a pencil and that help remove the pieces. Wish I had know that tips earlier.
I did have fun playing with the ink effect. I began with a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Lucky Limeade card stock for the base. A piece of Whispering white at 4 x 5 1/4 was used for the back ground. I used four colors of ink, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Regal Rose and Rich Razzleberry.
I used small sponges to apply the ink. I started with the Daffodil Delight on a sponge and moved across the paper horizontally in a circular motion. The next color I applied the same way making sure I went over the previous color so their would be no harsh lines.
I lined up the paper Doily with the edge and trimmed the excess. I tied Lucky Limeade ribbon around the card stock and knotted. I used the oval punch to cut out the sentiment and added a butterfly with some sparkle. It makes for a beautifully colored card.

Stampin’ Up! Blossoms
I first saw this blossom in the Stampin Success magazine on a cake and thought they were gorgeous! And how do you make that? A few days later Mary Fish from Stampin Pretty made a beautiful card example with this very flower. I was inspired.
This is a 5 1/2x 5 1/2 base card made with Soft Suede. I cut 2 5 1/4 x 2 3/4 pieces of DSP Mocha Morning Specialty I slightly overlapped them and attached to the card stock. I took Basic Black at 3 x 5 1/4 and ran it through the Big Shot in the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. I put that on using dimentional’s.
The flower was easy to make. I first punched out 16 of the large petals from the Blossom Petal Builder punch. I also punched 8 small petals and a circle using the 1 inch circle punch. I took the circle and glue 8 of the large petals around the circle and then in between each of those I glued the other 8. I let it dry a little and then glued the 8 small petals in between those.
I used a small flower punch, a brand I don’t remember the name of to make the center. I used two flower’s and pinched the petals together then glued them side by side. The leaves were made from the 2 1/2 circle punch out of Old Olive card stock. The sentiment is from the Create a Cupcake stamp set.

Card MaskingTechnique
This card was made for a coming birthday for a nephew. It demonstrates a masking technique. Masking allows you to have two or more images either alike or different close together with out over lapping. There are so many possibilities with this technique.
To begin stamp two of the same image one on the cardstock you are using for your card and another either on a sticky note or piece of paper. You will then cut out the one on paper or the sticky note.
Some images have a lot of detail and it can be hard to cut around all of it like this tree was, so just do the best you can.Once the mask is cut out place it over the image. You may want to use some movable adhesive so the mask doesn’t move while your stamping.
Place the stamp where you want the second image and stamp down.
You’ll have your image without any over lapping. Simple and easy.
Reminders: Don’t forget the list for Retiring Accessories is being released tomorrow 5/24 and I’ll have it posted on my site.

Monday Mojo Checker Board Card
Here is my Monday Mojo challenge card. I used the promo Designer series paper Summer Smooches. It would of been ideal to have had Stampin” Up! 1 1/4 square punch for this card, but I didn’t. I cut out all those 1 1/4 squares.
CARD DETAILS:
- I used Pumpkin pie For some of the squares and the flower along with Rich Razzleberry. The leaves were created with the 1 inch circle punch in Lucky Limeade.
- I used the 1 3/4 Scalloped Circle punch to make the flower. I damped the card stock and crumpled them up then carefully opened the pieces up and stacked them on top of each other. I pierced them with my piercing tool and added a brad for the center. The sentiment is from Create a Cup Cake stamp set.
Just a couple more days, April 25 when the Retiring Accessories List will be available. These will only be available while supplies last! So don’t wait!

Coming Up Stampin’ Up! Roses
I really liked how this card turned out. It incorporates a couple techniques, water coloring and dry embossing. This is a finished 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card. I started with a 5 1/2 x 11″ and a 1 1/2 x 5 1/2′ pieces of Island Indigo, 3 x3 Whispering White, 5 1/4 x 5 1/4″ and 1 1/4 x 2 1/2 of Lucky Limeade and 5 1/4 border punch in Rose Red.
I started with the 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 Lucky Limeade. I used the big rose stamp from the Fifth Ave Floral set, which by the way is on the Retiring List, view that HERE! I inked the stamp with Old Olive ink and randomly stamped it all over the piece of card stock. You may see score lines already on the paper, but that did come after the stamped images were in place.
I them took the same piece and used my scoring tools these are from Martha Stewart to score every 1 inch on two sides to create the embossed squares across the paper.
Here is a close up of the embossed squares. You want to use good enough pressure to create the lines but not so much to tear the paper.
I again used the Rose stamp and stamp the image onto watercolor paper with Stazon, which is a permanent ink. You want to use a permanent ink so it doesn’t bleed into the color when we watercolor. I used the brights watercolor Melon Mombo. I begin by coloring part of the petal in with the pencil and then take a paint brush and water to blend. You could also use ink with water and it will give you the same effect.
After it completely dries I cut it out just past the black lines leaving some of the white. I took the 3 x 3 of whispering white and stamped the written image on it. I attached the rose using dimentionals to give it a raised look. I attached the large piece of Lucky Limeade to the Island Indigo base. I then attached the border strip in rose red to the small piece of Island Indigo. That gets tapped down about 3/4″ from the left edge. Then add the 3 x 3 Whispering White with the rose already attached to the card with dimentionals. Stamp the sentiment on the small piece of Lucky Limeade using Tempting Turquoise ink and put it in the lower right hand corner again using dimentionals. ( Dimentionals are small pieces of foam that have double sided tape on them. They raise the image just a bit).
