Here is this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch (#290)
I stamp set I used for this card is called Perfectly Preserved. In was in the Holiday Catalog but is still available for purchase until May 30th. I am a little worried about this set and the matching Framelits retiring. I sure hope it doesn’t but if you really want this set, you really need to buy it soon!

Here is the color challenge for Fab Friday:
For my card, I used the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set with the matching Framelits called Cannery Set and the Bitty Banners Framelits.

The Occasions Catalog has a little tiny set called Itty Bitties which I thought would go perfectly with the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set. It has little tiny hearts, butterflies, lady bugs and leaves. All together is has 56 different stamps that could be used with many sets. By the way, even though Perfectly Preserved was in the Holiday Catalog, you can still order it.
The hearts in this card come from a variety of stamps sets. I used Itty Bitties for the littlest hearts and lips. I used Tiny Tags for the larger stamped hearts with the swirl in them. The outlined heart comes from Hearts A Flutter. As you can see, Stampin Up has tons of choices when it comes to hearts. Of course, I had to have them all. What else is new!?!

Yesterday I showed you the Valentine I made with the new Pop’N Cuts Big Shot Die. Here is a picture of the inside of it.

To make this you need the Pop ‘N Cuts Card Base. The first thing you need to do it take a piece of card stock (I used Real Red) 4.5″ x 11 and cut out the card base using the big shot die. The die has two little lines showing where to score the card after cutting. Take a pencil and mark this place on both sides and then score using your Simply Scored Scoring Tool.

Then take a piece of Designer Series Paper (4.5 x 11) and cut using the Pop ‘N Cuts Card Base. I used Summer Smooches DSP. Then score your DSP at 4″, 7″ and 8.5″.
Score Your DSP
Crease your DSP at the score marks. The top score mark is a valley fold. The second one is a mountain fold and the bottom one is a valley fold.
Fold at Your Scores
Place snail adhesive on the top section of the DSP and the bottom section. Do not put adhesive in the two middle sections or your card will not pop up.
Snail Adhesive at Top and Bottom Only
Attach your DSP to your Card Base. Be careful to line it up exactly even.
Your card will look like this.
Decorate as desired.

The Occasions Catalog has a new Big Shot item in it called Pop ‘N Cuts. There is the base die that cuts a cute little card and then you buy the insert called the Dress Form Pop ‘N Cuts. The whole idea is very cute but I was so not sure about the dress part but love the shape of the Card Base. Therefore, I made my own insert!
I used a couple of different heart sets to make all the hearts. They include Hearts A Flutter with the matching Framelits and Fashionable Hearts Embosslits. The jar is from Perfectly Preserved Stamp set and Cannery Framelits. The words are from Teeny Tiny Wishes and the Bitty Banners Framelits.
Tomorrow I will post the directions on how to make this card.

Ok, all you procrastinators! Today is the last day to order from the Holiday Catalog. Although some of the products show up in the Annual Catalog, there is no guarantee they will. Remember the Stocking Builder Punch and matching stamp set last year? Everyone swore it would be in the Annual Catalog and it wasn’t!
I know a lot of the sets are for Christmas and Halloween and I know those holidays just ended but what about Perfectly Preserved and the matching Cannery Set Framelits (Click HERE to save money and buy the bundle) I love those and they could be used any time of year. What about those Window Frames Collection Framelits? I know you loved them too! Oh yes, and that great Paper Piercing Set called Festive?
You better look through that Holiday Catalog one more time and order today before it is too late! If you can’t find it right offhand, there is a link to it on my right sidebar.
