Mosaic Madness for CCMC262

Today I have another clean , modern looking card to share.  I made this one for the Thursday Challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we were given a color challenge to work with.







I have never paired these colors, but I really like the way they look together.  I did a card using Mosaic Madness, take a look.



I love the way my card turned out, here's the details.

1.  Picked Bermuda Bay for the card base.  Used corner rounding punch for lower right and upper left corners.  My punch would not go through two layers on the top corner, so I cut along the marks made by the punch.

2.  My Whisper White layer has the same corners rounded off and paper piercing added to the opposite corners.

3.  I stamped my mosaics on a separate piece of Whisper White and punched them out.  I arranged them in the pattern I wanted, then adhered them with dimensionals.  I added small pearls to the center of each one.




4.  Lastly, I added the Happy Birthday greeting with StazOn Black to the bottom right corner.

That's it for my clean and simple card.  I hope you like it!!
You can participate in the challenge too!! Just go to Create with Connie and Mary

    I love the elegant simplicity of your card. The paper piercing is just gorgeous and the offset rounded corners add lots of interest. So beautiful!

    Wonderful card! Love the mosaics and what a great use of white space! I am uncomfortable with that, so it is fun to see cards that use it in such a nice way.

    I love this card, the crispness and simplicity is beautiful. Did you hand cut the smaller mosaics in the center of the striped ones?

Flashback Friday: Travel Time

Welcome to another Flashback Friday!!  Today we travel back to 2003 for the fun stamp set called Travel Time.  I thought this was an appropriate set for this week.  It is Stampin' Up!'s convention this week so a lot of demonstrators are traveling.  Here's what the set looks like. I made a CAS card (clean and simple) with this set.  I have been doing more of the clean look lately, it brings this set a more modern look. The card is very simple, Whisper White card stock and neutral inks.  Here's the details: 1.  Card base is Whisper White.  I stamped the map and suitcase in Crumb Cake .  Stamped the sentiments in Basic Gray. 2.  Stamped the card on Glossy White card stock (boy do I wish this paper was not retired) with StazOn Black ink.  Color was added with markers and blender pen.  I fussy cut the car and added it to the card with dimensionals. That's it!! A CAS card to modernize this set from 10 years ago.  Thanks for flas...

Party Animal

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week we are all featuring ANIMALS. I almost used the Playful Pals Bundle, but the fun new set BALLOON BUILDERS was calling my name! Isn't this balloon elephant too cute!!  I knew from the start that this little guy needed a string for his balloon.  Let's take a closer look. The thin silver thread was just perfect for the balloon string!  It took a couple tries to get the bow tied, but it was worth the effort! I kept the card pretty simple overall with a pretty design from the gorgeous BIRTHDAY BOUQUET paper in the background.  The elephant was stamped on Whisper White then I cut out the trunk before die cutting the rest with a circle framelit.  I had in mind that he was kind of floating in a balloon himself on the card! BUT, are you wondering why I named this post PARTY ANIMAL and then shared such a sweet and gentle little elephant??  Well, I named the post after my ten year old daughter Sofia who went...

Peachy Keen Jellybean!

I used to love to say "Peachy Keen Jellybean" when I was younger so when I first saw the new Occasions catalog I smiled!  The Peachy Keen stamp set is right up my alley!!  I haven't had the chance to use the bundle much so I pulled it out for this week's Monday Lunchtime Sketch challenge. This sketch is perfect for the Peachy Keen stamps and Gorgeous Grunge. Putting together a fun yet fast card is always a good thing!  I had this card complete in 15 minutes flat...and that's with a fussy baby hanging out next to me in his stroller! The card base is Tangerine Tango with a simple layer of Whisper White. The right side has Gorgeous Grunge stamped with Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar.  I didn't want to over do it and make the card too busy, I wanted the greeting to stand out. Peachy Keen definitely stands out when stamped boldly in Tangerine Tango.  I must admit that up until the last week or so, I hardly ever used this color.  Now, I feel like I am using ...
