Lovely Congratulations

Dynamo and I attended an engagement party over the weekend for some friends, and this was the card I made. As you can tell, I used my circle punch and the heart-to-heart punch! The cardstock is textured elegant eggplant and cranberry crush. I also used Jolly Holiday DSP. The sentiment is a portion of a jumbo Valentine's Wheel from Stampin' Up! I don't particularly care for the wheels as they come, so Dynamo makes me beautiful wooden blocks and I remount the wheels as regular stamps. I got the idea from Mary Fish, another demonstrator. She has an entire tutorial on her site about how to do this.

Be a star!

What do you give someone who has everything?

Answer: A handmade star!

I was struggling with what to give someone recently for her birthday. A lightbulb went off and I thought about giving her a birthday wand! Who doesn't like to feel like a star on her birthday?!?!

Here's a closeup of the tag...

I made the star using a cereal box, vintage sheet music, mod podge, and glitter! The ribbons and sparkly stars were from my box of random stuff. I think it turned out nicely. She really loved it!!

And, of course I had the perfect card to go with it!

I love Alice in Wonderland and these stamps from TJ Designs! I also used elegant eggplant and pink piroutte cardstock and ink along with Artistic Etchings Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Mojo for the week...
