Mojo Monday Week 109 - A New Take on Dasher

I loved the Mojo Monday sketch this week - simple and very versatile.

I took a new take on Dasher by stamping him in silver and using clear embossing powder. The results were very pretty.

Supplies:

Dasher stamp set - SU

Very Vanilla cardstock - SU

Patterned paper from my stash

Silver cord from my stash

Silver shimmer paper from Creative Memories

I also finished a few more cards using the Party Hearty stamp set:

Supplies:

Party Hearty stamp set - SU

Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Not Quite Navy, Old Olive, Whisper White cardstock

Coordinating inks

Scallop punch,Sizzix embossing

Ribbon and twine from my stash

The last card uses Party Hearty also but in a Christmas theme. I CAS-ed this card from someone but have lost the link. I thought it was a clever idea to use the party hats as christmas trees.

Supplies:

Party Hearty and A Cardinal Christmas stamp sets

Creamy Caramel. Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, Whisper White cardstock

Merry Moments DSP

Old Olive, Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip ink

button from my stash

Christmas, Christmas, and More Christmas

I have been working behind the scenes on Christmas cards but haven't posted any in a while.

First - some Christmas gift card holders. I used the great tutorial from Deanna at De Stampin' Corner. My gift cards holders are not as beautiful as her samples but I am pleased with them. They will come in handy for nieces and nephew's gifts at Christmas.

All supplies from Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted:

Old Olive, Whisper White, and Chocolate Chip cardstock

Chocolate Chip Ink, Top Note die

Rhinestones, eyelet,  and ribbon from my stash

Dasher stamp set, A Cardinal Christmas stamp set (sentiment)

All supplies from Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted:

Garden Green, Whisper White, and Real Red cardstock

Chocolate Chip Ink (around edges)

Eyelet and ribbon from my stash, Top Note die

Large snowflake and ornament from Sizzlets

Smaller snowflake is a punch from my stash

My sister, Mary Ellen, called me a week or so ago and told me about this great idea of making a paper collage out of DSP squares and then using the Top Note die cut to cut a panel for a card. So I had to play around with this idea. Sorry but I don't know who to credit with the original idea.

All supplies from Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted:

Merry Moments DSP, Chocolate Chip, Garden Green, Real Red, and Very Vanilla cardstock

Chocolate Chip Ink, Ribbon from my stash, Top Note die

Larger snowflake from Sizzlet, smaller from punch

Sentiment from A Cardinal Christmas stampset

Then I thought this would also be a good idea for all those long, skinny scraps that I seem to end up with (but can't bring myself to throw out). So I made a collage with strips placed on the diagonal and used the Top Note die cut again.

All supplies from Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted:

Scraps of various colors of cardstock and Merry Moments DSP

Chocolate Chip, Garden Green, Very Vanilla cardstock, Chocolate Chip Ink

Ribbon from my stash, Top Note die

Next was the Mojo Monday Week 106 sketch. I am not very happy with how it turned out. I definitely need some practice with inking around the edges of things. I think mine looks pretty messy. So I didn't post it to the Mojo Monday site.

All supplies from Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted:

Merry Moments DSP, Real Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla cardstock

Chocolate Chip Ink, A Wish for Peace stamp set

Ribbon from my stash

One more - then I am all caught up. For this card, I copied Ann Schach's card with a few simplifications. I am very happy with this one.

All supplies from Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted:

Old Olive, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla cardstock

Dasher stamp set, sentiment from A Cardinal Christmas

That's all for now. I just got the Party Hearty stamp set and my next project is some birthday cards.
