Recuperating from Christmas has made me a little slow in getting my Mojo going! However, I finally got the chance to use several of the new Occasions Mini and Sale-A-Bration products while creating a card using the sketch outlined in Mojo Monday. In total, I used eight new products in this design:
- Sending Love Specialty Designer Paper
- Scallop Trim Corner Punch
- Scallop Trim Border Punch
- Medium Jewelry Tag Punch
- Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder
- Vintage Vogue Stamp Set
- Tiny Tags Stamp Set
- Chocolate Chip 5/8″ Satin Ribbon
- Go for the Gold! To enhance the shabby elegance of this card, I stamped the “F” image from Vintage Vogue with VersaMark onto Brushed Gold card stock. It was then heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Gold Encore ink was used to distress the edges of the “Flowers” from Vintage Vogue. And for more gold action, I created my own gold Half-Pearl, using a pearl selected from the Pretties Kit, VersaMark Ink, and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. How cool is that?
- Did I mention dimension? “Pop” up certain elements of your card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! The circles and flower elements are sporting Stampin’ D’s on the their backsides!
- Practice makes perfect…especially when it comes to using the new punches. The Chocolate Chip panel measured 2-7/8″ wide before punching, which works well with the Scallop Trim Corner and Border punches. And don’t give up! The result is well-worth the effort!
- It’s all in the details! Distressing the edges with Soft Suede, using the Color Spritzer Tool, and adding texture with Perfect Polka Dots are quick and easy ways to add that “little something” extra! And what is more beautiful than the new Chocolate Chip 5/8″ Satin Ribbon. Yummy!
