Summer Fun Card - Mojo Monday 196

This is my first time participating to the Mojo Monday Challenges. It fact this card is for the Mojo Monday Challenge 196. I flipped the sketch so that the circle would be to the right for my “pocket”.

I used mainly Red, White, and Blue because those colours coordinated with my paper so well. But the end result makes it look very much like a USA Patriotic card. The only problem with that is that I am very much Canadian. I hope I still get to use this card.

I plan on putting a photo of my boys on the front insert. Probably make this a card for their grandparents.

Here is the list of material used (all from Close To My Heart)

Cardstock:
White

Paper:
Fanfare B&T Duos

Ink:
Cranberry Z2116
Pacifica Z2192

Stamp Set:

Other:
Ribbon
Brad from Level 2 Assortment Fanfare Z1400
CuttleBug Star embossing folder (the only non CTMH product)

And there we go, here are a few more close-up pictures.

Thanks A Latte

So I've been blog hopping. I use that phrase a lot in my blog. I love blog hoping, my favorite list of blogs is crazy long.

Anyways as I was saying; I was blog hopping when I came across these super cute coffee mug cards. Now I apologize to the original crafter who made these. I save the picture of things that I liked and inspires me to a "to scraplift" folder. So by the time I use them I don't know where they came from.

I was making these lovely cards to showcase at my next team meeting, and to have for my next gathering when I realized.... Wait a minute!!! This meet the criteria for this weeks H2H Challenge. So Voila!

I'm placing my stamped scallop circle punch in the doily category cause frankly it really looks like one now. I'm also using ribbon and gems. BINGO!!!!
