That little “pssst” sentiment looks so sweet with the bouquet of paper blossoms on this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO330). Inspired by the “tall & skinny” design, today’s card measures 7″ x 4″!
- SNEAK PEEK: That yummy paper is from Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Earn it FREE with a $50 product order (total before shipping and tax) when Sale-A-Bration begins TOMORROW (1/28)!
- The Basic Black blossoms were cropped with the Petite Petals Punch (Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog) and the Pool Party centers were cropped with the four petal punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.
- Where can you find the perfect sized envelope for the 7″ x 4″ card? I used the Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board to create a custom envelope in a flash!
- I also used the Envelope Punch Board to create the liner. Watch my video tutorial to learn a quick and easy way to create the liner. I started with a 4 3/4″ square for the liner. You could even go up 1/8″ if you wanted more of the pretty paper to show.

Gorgeous, Mary! Love your colors and those sweet little blossoms.
Mary, I love, love, love this card! Very sweet and chic. Have a great day!
Thanks, Kit Marie. I love pushing the envelope on color . . . mixing Pool Party and Black was inspired by the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper and is edgy in a way I find fresh and artistic!
Really great color combination Mary, the strong contrast of the black card stock makes the blue softness of the Pool Party really shine. The off centered sentiment looks awesome. Thank you for sharing.
The Happy Watercolor set is my FAVORITE set in the new Occasions catalog. LOVE the size and shape of your card.
Beautiful, love the size, the shape and the color contrast! 🙂
You do the most wonderful things with beautiful paper and clever ways to use products. Love your simple & strong creations!
Mary, this is a gorgeous card. Love the black and blue color palette and the way you matted the sentiment slightly off center. Very classy!
