Julee Tilman’s MOJO Monday Challenge 502

Posted on November 7, 2018 by Beverly

Hi, friends! I am excited that the MOJO Monday Challenges have re-launched recently. Julee Tilman’s MOJO Monday Challenge 502 is a great sketch and I used it to create the following card.

This is a copy of Julee’s great sketch:

2 Corinthians 12:7-9

Regarding Paul’s thorn, he said, “To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”

Stampin Up Venetian Romance DSP – MOJO310

Posted on September 11, 2013 by Beverly

Stampin Up Venetian Romance DSP My special friend, Melody, from N.VA has left to return home, and I feel sad. However, I am very pleased that we had a fantastic visit, and I hope to see her again soon. Because I feel sad about her leaving, I chose to create a card that would provide comfort to anyone who has such feelings when a loved one visits and leaves. Therefore, I am featuring the Stampin Up Venetian Romance DSP and Verve Stamps on my card share today. The Verve Stamps “Let It Be” Stamp Set has the perfect sentiment stamp for the card: “Every Little Thing is Going to be All Right“. This picture provides a close up of the sentiment.

I think that the design I used from the Stampin Up Venetian Romance DSP is one of the prettiest designs from the DSP. Its colors are Island Indigo and Pistachio Pudding. I used the Stampin’ Up! Pistachio Pudding Card Stock for the card base and the Island Indigo Card Stock for a couple of highlighting elements.

I used this past Monday’s MOJO Monday MOJO310 sketch for the design of my card. The MOJO310 sketch follows.

It is great to have a sketch to follow when creating a card. Julee Tilman’s sketches are always beautiful. She is one of the designers for MOJO Monday.

STAMPIN’ UP! VENETIAN ROMANCE DSP

Afternoon Picnic DSP – MOJO309

Posted on September 4, 2013 by Beverly

I am SO excited (doing the happy dance)! My best friend from Northern Virginia arrives in a few hours for a visit. I have not seen her for about three years, so I am so excited and looking forward to her visit here in Florida. I made this card for her from the Stampin’ Up! Afternoon Picnic DSP to tell her “welcome, best friend”. Afternoon Picnic DSP - MOJO309

Would you agree with me that the color combination of Coastal Cabana and Wisteria Wonder is beautiful? I think they are striking together. These are the colors in all of the Afternoon Picnic DSP design patterns that I selected for this card.

The card’s “best friend” sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set. The sentiment was stamped onto a Coastal Cabana Card Stock Spellbinders Splendid Circle. It rests upon a 1-3/4″ Crushed Curry Card Stock circle. The flower resting on the sentiment is quite easy to make. I simply cut a 1-3/4″ circle from Wisteria Wonder Card Stock and “fussy cut” it in a circular fashion. I then rolled it around a wooden skewer and glued it together. Then I used the Stampin’ Up! Boho Blossoms Punch to punch out a Crushed Curry Card Stock flower that I glued into the center. Although you cannot see it too well, there is a tiny Basic Pearl in the center of the flower.

I used the MOJO Monday Sketch Challenge MOJO309 design as my guide to create the card. This is the MOJO309 design.
