Mosaic Madness

Hi there!  A quick post today with another Card Buffet selection.  This CAS (Clean And Simple) card showcases Stampin' Up!s Mosaic Madness stamp set and coordinating Mosaic punch.  The "celebrate" sentiment, as well as the "anniversary" sentiment on the inside, are from Express Yourself.  (This is a Hostess set that can be earned for free!  Contact me for details.)  Teeny Tiny Wishes has numerous sentiments that will also work.  Carrie Rhoades was the inspiration for my project.  You can see her card here.  I used the "celebrate" sentiment on the card front so that it could be used for various occasions by using an appropriate inside sentiment.

Must get going.  Have a great weekend and thanks so much for stopping in today!

Mosaic Madness Christmas

Hi there!  Woke up to a winter wonderland of snow!  It sure is beautiful, however, my plans for today have been cancelled.  Sooooo, I'll post a card from our Christmas Card Workshop held earlier this year.  (Realized I never did post the cards.  Oops!)  This CAS (Clean And Simple) design was made using Stampin' Up!s Mosaic Madness stamp set and coordinating punch.  The sentiment is from More Merry Messages.  A little bit of paper piercing dresses up the corners.  Amazing what a difference that makes!

Stay warm and thank you for stopping by today!

Just a Note

Hi there!  Here we are in the middle of the week - again.  Boy the weeks sure seem to go FAST!   Let's not waste another minute and get to today's project. 
Normally, I don't make 3-D projects but this little tote containing 3x3 notes and envelopes was just too cute not to replicate!  Pam D'Urso invited us Demos for a stamping retreat weekend at her home this past summer.  When Diane Mikles and I saw Pam's tote, we CASE'd hers but used different paper for our versions - some retired Not Quite Navy cardstock and DSP.  Pam gave us some written instructions with measurments, but I honestly don't remember the person's name who wrote the tutorial.  The stamps we used came from the Postage Due set and were then punched out with the coordinating punch.  The border strip was made from an image found in Mosaic Madness.  The Decorative Label punch was used to create a "handle".  The only directions I could find that are similar to Pam's version were on Beth Beard's blog.  You can view her video here.  This would make a darling little hostess gift.  The holiday season will soon be upon us and that means parties to attend!  I'm just saying...

Mosaic Madness Meets Christmas!

Hi there!  Hope you had an awesome weekend.  I sure did!  Had a fun 50th anniversary party on Saturday and our Card Buffet on Sunday.  Fun times! 
Today I'm sharing one of the swaps made at Pam D'Urso's Demo retreat the beginning of this month.  Our challenge was to make a one-layer card and no more than two embellishments.  Talk about a challenge!  This was a tough one for me.  The above card was Cheryl Renth's swap using the Modern Mosaic stamp set to make the poinsettia.  How clever is that?  I forgot to add my sentiment and had to do so after returning home.  The Petite Pairs set was used - don't remember what set Cheryl used.

That's all for today.  Must tackle my to-do list and probably go to the grocery store.  I've procrastinated long enough and am forced to go shopping since we're out of most of the basics!  Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping in today!
