MOJO Monday Cake

Yep! It's Friday. I know. I had a bunch of blog posts already to go for this week, so I'm fitting new posts in where I can.

The MOJO Monday sketch was very similar to our Paper Craft Crew sketch this week. What are the odds??

Today, is MIL's birthday! She's not getting the card below, she's getting this one. It's probably already there.

This one:

will be going to one of my downline when she celebrates her birthday in a little while! Just another perk of joining my Canadian Blossoms team! Two OTHER cards for my downline celebrating birthdays in the next week are already on their way to them!

Here's a close up of that awesome rosette:

I just love making those! Yes, they're a bit time consuming and little fiddly, but they're worth the effort!

Speaking of joining my downline, there's only a FEW more days left to take advantage of the FREE Halloween Tray Kit offer:

True, the offer was supposed to end on August 31st, but Stampin' UP! received such an AMAZING response to it, that they made the decision to extend it! You have until September 16th (just two more days!) to take advantage of the offer. Your Halloween Kit will ship WITH your Starter Kit.

Bring on the Cake for Dynamic Duos

This week, over at Dynamic Duos, the challenge is a "Black Tie" colour challenge. This means, black with another colour. In this case, it's River Rock. And of course, what's a black tie event without dessert? Black Tie colour challenges feature a dessert option - this week, brads!

Here's my card:

Have you tried out the new Delicate Doilies Sizzlit Die yet? They're just adorable with SO much detail! They can be a bit troublesome, what with all those small pieces, but the end result is DEFINITELY worth it!

Here's a close up:

Isn't that GORGEOUS?? And don't you just love that little cupcake? It's from the exclusive hostess set "Carry On", which you can earn by hosting your own workshop. I stamped it in River Rock on Very Vanilla and cut it out before adhering it the card using a Stampin' Dimensional. I then adhered the sentiment/image panel to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals as well.

Here's a close up of the two black brads I used:

This is just one of the cards we'll be making at my Birthday Card class on September 8th. And don't worry...I'll do ALL the fussy cutting for you!

OH. MY. GOSH!

When I first saw this stamp set, I nearly wet myself! These types of sayings has been all over Pinterest for ages and when I saw this stamp set...well... WOW!

It's a hostess set, so you KNOW you'll want to host a private class in your home to earn this one!

SERIOUSLY? How CUTE is that???

I started off with a piece of Island Indigo on which I stamped the sentiment using Versamark and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. I then added a piece of Island Indigo Baker's Twine to the top of the image panel.

I matted the sentiment on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock on which I stamped an image from the set World Treasures in Island Indigo. I'm still not sure about that set, though I do like the sentiment and the flower!
