'Love' Challenge at Craft Mojo

Morning folks, February already and we're thinking about love and romance on many of the challenge blogs this month. Due to increasing commitments this will be my last post for Craft Mojo's challenges and the theme this month is 'Anything Love'.

My card this month features papers from the Craftwork Cards Vintage Boho paper pack. I have layered up the papers, distressing one and edging the others with 'Worn Lipstick' Distress Ink using a Ranger Ink Blending Tool. The 'love' is a stamp I found in my stash and the pink dots are Candi, also from Craftwork Cards.

The flower embellishment is a new technique that I have learned in January! I have decided that I should learn something new every month or so to try and prevent my getting bored! I was scouring YouTube for videos on how to use Alcohol Inks which i recently procured and found a fabulous video by Enfys Cashmore - who, incidentally, is on the Craftwork Cards DT - and thought I would give it a go! Here's a link to the video!

Basically, I got some plumbers aluminium tape, adhered it so scrap card stock, die cut this using Tim Holtz Sizzix Tattered Florals die, embossed the flowers to give texture and then used Red and Eggplant Adirondack Alcohol inks to colour the metal effect flowers. These were layered up, some free hand leaves drawn, embossed and coloured with Meadow ink and all attached to the card! Simples!

Thanks for joining me today, I hope you will feel the love and create something for the challenge this month.

Happy New Year from Craft Mojo!

Another Happy New Year from Me! Another another new challenge!
This month at Craft Mojo we want to see your 'New' projects! Whether it be 'New Year', 'New Job', 'New Baby', a new stamp or new paper line or something else 'new' for you - please make sure you tell us what that is in your blog post - link it up to Craft Mojo for a chance to win a prize!

Here is my project, a Happy New Year card using two new digital stamps from Delicious Doodles - the Romantic Clock Face and New Year sentiment freebie. I have left the clock as it was and coloured around the sentiment using 'Sunkissed Pink' Promarker to tone in with the hearts on the clock. I've mounted the images onto black pearlescent paper, silver holographic card and made it into an easel card. I've finished with a couple of Die-namics flourishes cut from the same holo card and some holo candi!

I will enter this card into the following challenges -
Delicious Doodles - Party Time
Card Mania - Happy New Year
The Crazy Challenge - Celebrate the New Year
Cut It Up - New Year's Celebrations


Wishing you all a great new year!
thanks for looking

A Christmas Card for Craft Mojo's Christmas Challenge!

Happy December!! Well, most posts from this point on with have a certain theme! It's December and that means Christmas for many and that is our theme for the newest challenge at Craft Mojo!

I have made a fancy fold card using the Christmas Post collection of papers and die cuts from Craftwork Cards. I cut the front of two 6x6 card bases and attached them together, then covered each panel with red lightweight card. I cut panels slightly smaller from the papers to fit the card leaving a red border on each panel.

The die cut poinsettia is layered up and a couple of leaves added along with platinum stickles and a gold candi pop in the centre. I layered the sentiment on more of the red card and added platinum liquid pearls for accent here.

I made a band for around the card using the same red card covered with some of the stamp themed paper and attached a red organza bow.

Glossy accents have been used on the robin to give it a sheen. And I used the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis square to cut a panel for the inside, also matted onto the red card. I may add another sentiment here when I decide who this is for or just use that space for my hand written message.

I hope you like the card, thanks for looking and I hope to see you at our Anything Goes challenge at Craft Mojo this month!

Anything Goes at Craft Mojo Challenge Blog this month!

Hope you all had a great Halloween!! November time now and getting so close to Christmas! Anyway, before all that, it's time for a new challenge at Craft Mojo. This month the theme is Anything Goes!

I have gone for something a bit different for me this month and created a black and silver card with lots of layering, corrugated stars and a blingy bow. I also dug out the Cricut and cut the name and number using the Cricut Craft Room software and craftroom basics files.

Everything was layered up on the 8x8" card base and hot glue used to attach the diamantes to the bow.

This was made for a friend to give another friend on her birthday recently, hope they both liked the card!

Thanks for looking, hope you will join us for Anything Goes this month at Craft Mojo!

Craft Mojo October Challenge

Well, yes, another post from me today! And what a post this is... It's my first for the Craft Mojo Challenge Blog! The theme this month is.... Halloween!! Yes, you guessed right! Like I said earlier today, lots more Halloween to come!

This time I have used a Simply Betty clear stamp (which you buy as a digi from here) this one is Mummy Lola! I have used Kaisercraft '13th Hour' papers with pins, roses and seam binding ribbon to decorate. The image is coloured using Promarkers and a black fine line to add some faux stitching. The mat underneath is embossed using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and the flourish is a die from Die-Namics.

Thanks for popping in to see me again today, why not check out Craft Mojo and see what the rest of the team have to show you.
