Hey there! I think I've finally found some MoJo again. After our house was sick for. evah. I couldn't get back into the swing of it. I'd sit in my craft room and just stare at my stamps. Nothing would click at all. I was feeling like the mojo was really really lost. We all have streaks like that, right? Oh, I hope I'm not the only one.
Sometimes I find that it helps to create, just for the sake of creating. Not because I HAVE to. Not because I have a class that needs to be planned. Not because I have a card that needs made for someone specific. Just to create because I love to. And that's where this card came from - outta nowhere!
This uses some really basic pieces. Stamps from the My Paper Pumpkin Welcome Kit. The Washi Tape!!! is Epic Day This and That kit. And, the hexagon stickers - Epic Day This and That! Let me just tell you - I'm a bit smitten with everything in that bundle. Oh, yeah - there's a bundle. But you better hustle and jump on it - it's 15% off, only until April 30th. Sure. You can buy the pieces separately but I don't know why you'd want to. In fact, I bought an extra kit for a little gal that's a friend of our family. She's about to turn 12 and I think this kit is the perfect birthday present for a tween! And a teen. Heck, it's even perfect for someone that's not quite 40 yet!!!
I love how those hexagon stickers fit perfectly in the Honeycomb embossed details. I only wish there was an entire sheet of hexie stickers!
So, when I looked back at my card, I set a stray scrap of doily on it, and really liked the look. Well, I wasn't going to take the card apart to place the doily on it....just as well make another one.....
I'm not sure which one I like better. I think I like the doily on there best. It kind of softens up the grungy look. Which one do you like best?
I had to cut these hexies by hand - those stickers were MUCH easier!
Okey doke - I must hit the hay - we've got thunderstorms rolling in, and there isn't anything better than listening to a spring storm while falling asleep!!! Just wish we had spring temps to go along with the storms. Instead they are telling us there is a chance of S>N>O>W tomorrow. Really. ICK! I'm ready for 75 now.
But - please be sure to tell me which card you like the best. Doily or no doily????

Hi Jen!! Love the cards!! The non-doily one would be perfect for a guy card (or anyone). The doily dresses it up a bit for the girls. :)
How did you get the folder to emboss like that?????????
Yep, I like the doily on there. It gives it that 'little something.'
I sure know what you mean about the cough, crud whatever you call it and the loss of mojo. I go to the craft room and then lose whatever energy. Glad to see your mojo is back and waiting for mine to come back soon.
Hugs, Josie
I really like the one without the doily - such a great card - very eye catching. I would also like to know how you did sections of the EF - cool effect!
Jen, I have to say that I love these cards and have pinned them to my pinterest board. Hope that's ok? THanks for sharing.
