Another Mojo Monday

I loved this week's Mojo Monday sketch. It is very simplistic but allows enough design elements so you can make that perfect card :)


I am finding a new love for the Create a Cupcake stamp set. It's so versatile - meaning, you can use this set for a child's birthday or an adult's! Here's my rendition from this week's sketch:

Stamping with Rach Tips:

• Use dimensionals on the back of the cupcake top to make it pop off the card
• To give it a delicate touch, I used the Eyelet  Border Punch (so pretty!)
• Use Sticky Strip on the back of the Argyle Textured Impressions embossing folder to ensure it in fact sticks to the card base. I find with embossed card stock, regular adhesive doesn't do the trick

Must-have's to create this card:

Stamp Set: Create a Cupcake (Clear-Mount 121982)

Paper:  Very Vanilla (101650), Certainly Celery (105125), Pretty in Pink (100459), Subtles Designer Series Paper (117152), Early Espresso (119686)

Ink:  Pretty in Pink (126955), Early Espresso (126974)

Tools: Dimensionals (104430), Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (127750), Eyelet Border Punch (retired but an excellent substitute is the Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402), 1 3/4" Circle Punch (119850), 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch (118874)

Easy peasy, right? What do you think? Leave me a comment!

Stamping with Rach Tips & Tricks

• add 2 dimensionals on top of one another behind the cupcake top. This will give the piece an even greater 3-D feel
• sticky strip is excellent to use for adhering ribbon and buttons too. It is extremely sticky and you're sure the buttons will stay
• there's a lot going on on the card, so I kept my sentiment clean and simple
