Happiness Is Mojo Monday!

It's Mojo Monday and Julee Tilman shares another sketch extraordinaire on her Mojo Monday Blog.  Sketches are the one thing I rely on the most to get kickstarted on a project.  I feel so honored to be part of her Mojo Maker Design Team!

Font of You is such a clever and pretty stamp set.  It's aptly named because all the images are made up of tiny letters!  Here's a card I made previously using the umbrella from this set.

TIP:  I found inspiration in the colors and the diamond pattern in this Elle Decor magazine photo (March, 2009).

I stamped the flower and pot twice in Jet Black Stazon Ink, first on Very Vanilla and second on Perfect Plum.  Using Paper Snips, I clipped out the Perfect Plum vase and layered it with a couple Stampin' Dimensionals over Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon.  TIP:  I think the Riding Hood ribbon is a close enough match with the Ruby Red card stock.

 The flowers came to life by dotting Stampin' Up!'s Cameo Coral and Ruby Red Markers on the blooms.  TIP:  For added interest, I also dotted the blooms and accented the stems with a Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll Pen.  The image was matted on Cameo Coral card stock and attached to a mat of Ruby Red with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment (also from Font of You) was inked up in Jet Black Stazon. TIP:  To isolate the word "happiness" from the rest of the text, I used a post it note to cover the "unwanted" text before stamping.  I had a reader suggest recently that you also can use tape the same way.  Quick and easy.  Using the Large Oval Punch, I cropped the sentiment and tucked it underneath the main panel.

Cameo Coral Textured card stock was layered over Ruby Red for the top and bottom vertical panels.  Using a snazzy diamond pattern from Stampin' Up!'s Exclusive Texturz Backgrounds and a Big Shot, I created this luscious diamond texture in Perfect Plum.  It's layered on a 4.25 x 5.5 card base of Very Vanilla.

  7. I didn’t think much of this set in the catalog but now I have loved both of your cards done with it. You should have a permanent “Enabler” warning at the top of your page!

  8. This is BEAUTIFUL, Mary. It’s interesting how a SU set can leave you unimpressed and then you see a lovely card with it and get a complete different perspective. I love the way you’ve been showing the set you used, so helpful!
