Ragamuffin Card – Mojo Sketch Challenge

Posted on February 7, 2017 by Mama

I am so glad I have a clean craft room! My little guy has been sick and homebound the last couple of days, so we’ve spent several hours downstairs playing and crafting the days away. Yesterday afternoon while my son was playing the Wii, I found some time to flip the sketch and create a cute little card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge.

The printed papers, including the Raggedy Ann and Andy print, were all part of the Iron Orchard Ragamuffin 6×6 pad by Creative Imaginations. I created the “hello you” tag with an old stamp I had (I think from Stampin’ Up) and some cream cardstock. I roughed up the edges of the tag and added a tad bit of pink watercolor pencil for some interest and age. I found the two-toned pink and brown ribbon in my stash and I inked all the edges for some texture and warmth. I think I can send this one to an adult or child alike.

Hello Card and Hello Clean Craft Room

Posted on January 23, 2017 by Mama

Whew! It’s good to be back to blogging. After my year-end wrap-ups, I decided to take an unscheduled hiatus for most of the month because we as a family have had so many irons in the fire, on top of the winter crud and craft room cleaning that has been dragging on for weeks. I’m not sure which was worse — the sickness or the cleaning, but at least I now can get crafty without being confined to the itty bitty strip of walking room in the obstacle course that was my craft space. Yay!

So to celebrate the cleanliness of the craft room, I whipped up a cute little card for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge this week. The sketch is a simple design and actually one of my go-to recipes when I create cards on my own.

The background paper is from Teresa Collins’ Now & Then designer 6×6 pad and the polka dot paper is from Iron Orchid’s Ragamuffin 6×6 pad. I also added a strip of pleated ribbon (I love it when it pays to save those scraps) and a cute little wooden button from Fairy Rhymes that I picked up on the cheap at Tuesday Morning last month. A bit of dark blue twine and some ink around the edges were the finishing touches for this super cute Hello card. I like that it is feminine without being too sweet, and I already know to whom I’ll be sending this one. I have a sweet friend who started chemotherapy this morning, so I hope this cute little card will brighten her day.

Autumn Crisp Card

It was another day at home for my child on the mend and myself, but we did manage to get a bit creative about mid-morning. I used the Mojo Monday weekly challenge as my inspiration to create a fun fall card using the Autumn Crisp paper pad from American Crafts.

I really liked the sketch this week and stayed pretty true to the design. I used four different patterned papers and inked all the edges. I also added some extra bling with some sequins and a leaf brad that I’ve had forever in a box. The fall sentiment came from my stash of stamps and it was a perfect size for that empty spot. Everything came together nicely on a piece of kraft paper and I can’t wait to stick this one in an envelope and send to a friend.
