Mojo 175 Best Friends



I went with a very simple design for this card.
Paper: I used Kraft paper for the base, Dark brown card stock scraps. I crimped the front panel for texture and wrapped with twine instead of using the ribbon. The script paper is Olive script on Fossil.
Stamp: Crafty Individuals by Magenia
Die cuts: Spellbinders Labels Eleven
Ribbon: Misc
Dymo: black tape


P.S. Inside the card is a black Dymo strip that says Forever!
Thanks for looking....

Scrap Challenge Project #10


Valentines Treat Box

I can't believe I created 10 projects in 3 days. I'm off to a great start making all my valentine gifts. For my final project I decorated a treat box. I purchased the boxes (pack of 10) at Dollar Tree in the wedding section. I loved the last project Key to my heart and used all the same supplies with addition of Label Punch. I filled the box with chocolate and some decorative tissue paper. I'm planning to give these to my new friends at work.
Until Next time...

Scrap Challenge Project #7

KiKi's Folded Dog Card
Today my niece Kiara showed me how to make a folded dog out of a piece of printer paper. I thought it was so cute so I decided to create my own version... you guessed it using scraps.

How I made the card.
1. I folded a piece of 8 1/2" square paper corner to corner making a rectangle.
2. I marked in 4 1/2 " from each side of the folded edge.
3. I folded down the corner to the 4 1/2" mark to make the ears.
4. I cut the top layer only between the ear and the face (only to the fold)
5. I punched an oval from each ear. I put a piece of beige paper behind and taped the ear down.
6. I covered the inside (top layer only) of the face with lighter paper.
7. I punched out all the pieces to make the face and collar (see diagram below)
8. To hold the ears down I put a fancy clip with a ribbon
9. I finished it off with Huge goggly eyes....




This shows the opened ear. Each Oval area is a great place to write a message.




This is when the head and ears are flipped open. I think I will add a piece of cream paper to the inside to write my message.

This was a fun project and I can't wait to see what other paper animals Kiki teaches me to make....

Scrap Challenge Project #6


Kissing Valentine Fish Card
I went to a 3rd Wednesday Card shoppe in December and was given a really cute Valentine Fish Card. I recreated the card using scraps. I punched the fish using stampin up ornament punch out of textured card stock. I cut the fins, tail, and lips from small heart punch. I stamped the green plants from Asian Artistry stamp set Stampin Up and inked the edges blue to look like water. I stamped Happy Valentines day from Teeny Tiny Wishes stampin up and punched with the Window punch. Thanks Chrisitian and Kiki for making this card with me...
