MOJO MONDAY AND A CASE

Happy Monday sweeties! I cannot believe I am actually posting my Mojo Monday card on Monday! I am finally feeling almost back to normal and had some time to play today, so I decided to have fun with one of my new stamp sets from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. I made two cards with the same stamp set hoping to show you why I love these stamps so much!

This first card is the MM card:

I went with a 4.25” square because I want to get my Operation Write Home box of cards full and that is the largest size square I can make for them.  I do love the challenge of making the MM sketch on a small card though!  I wanted a really romantic card so I chose one of my Wild Rose Studio paper packs for the backgrounds and Craftwell for the borders.  The focal image was made using Waltzingmouse Stamps Little Lanterns and then Rubber Stamp Tapestry’s Love Note stamps set. The inks are all Distress Inks. I used my new Verve Pennant Trim die for the three pennants. On the right side and for the sentiment tag, I used some old pink vellum I have had forever.  The ribbon is RRR and the flower is from Inspired by Stamping.

Here is the link and sketch for the Mojo Monday 278 challenge:

Now for the second card. My friend Colleen Dietrich made the most gorgeous CAS card, I just had to case it! Let me show you her beauty first:

 

I just love the freshness about this card, the bright, cheerful colors and the CAS design, so here is what I came up with:

For this card, I used the exact same stamp set that I used in the Mojo Monday card above. I used different colors and although I didn’t have those yummy strawberries, I love how this turned out. To me, the fun of tapestry stamps is the versatility of design.  This new set from Rubber Stamp Tapestry is going to be among my favorites.

I am entering this card in the Addicted to CAS challenge: Code word HEART.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. Your visits always make me happy!

Ellen, these cards are so lovely! The first is just glorious. Love all the feminine touches on it, and that amazing glowing lantern.

The second one is a beautiful CASE of my card! I like the tapestry stamps you used in place of the strawberries. Thank you for giving me a shout out!

Glad you are beginning to feel better. Hugs!

Hi Ellen. You've really shown off those RST stamps . Two great cards! I'm particularly taken with the first card. The lush greenery you've stamped around the lamp make it such a romantic card.
