Monday came up very quickly when I realized I needed to get this week's Mojo Monday Week 78 sketch ready and it was 6:00 Sunday evening. Once I recovered from my mini panic attack, I printed the sketch (I get them in advance, lucky me) and started figuring out colors and what should go where.
Stampin' Up!'s Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper made color selection a snap. I inked the five petal stamp from Polka Dot Punches (free during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 order) in Rose Red and stamped it on Rose Red card stock. The stamp coordinates beautifully with Stampin' Up!'s Five Petal Punch and quickly yielded three sweet flowers.
The flowers were adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to Whisper White card stock and a layer of Cameo Coral. TIP: To "round" the lower part of this panel to work with the Mojo sketch, I added a piece of Textured Cameo Coral card stock that had been cropped with a Large Oval Punch. Each flower is topped with a Kiwi flower button. A sliver of Cameo Coral card stock is threaded through the holes for a finished look.
The "be happy" sentiment is from Darling Dots (Hostess Level 1). It was inked in Kiwi Kiss and stamped on Whisper White. I cropped it with a 1" Circle Punch. TIP: When using Hodgepodge Hardware label holders, I attach the sentiments to the card first using Stampin' Dimensionals. The dimensionals help fill out the label holder and keeps it from shifting when adding the hardware/brads.
The balance of the card is composed of Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper, followed by Cameo Coral and a 4.25 x 5.5 card base in Whisper White (scored at the top). A snippet of Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon is the final touch.

Beautiful card Mary. Love the colors.
Your flowers are my favorite!
For someone who works quickly, this is a stunning creation. I have most of these supplies, and I am itching to work with them. Thanks for a beautiful example for us.
Love this card!! So fun! I just got this set, now I need to get the punches!! LOL~
Lovely! The buttons are so cute on the flowers! Great sketch card! Hugs, Monica
Pretty card Mary. Great job with the sketch!
So darn pretty. I never thought of pairing up this stamp with the Raspberry Tart papers. Looks great! š
Beautiful card! I love the colors!
Silly silly question but….what does MOJO stand for? I just adore your style. Your cards simply “smile” all over!! If I could only breathe your “air” and get some of your talent in me!!!!!! If only!!!! Great work as usual. Sara
Hi Sara:
I think of “mojo” as when my creative side kicks in. The actual definition is a tad more decadent and refers to casting magic spells and even voodoo. Yipes. Hugs, Mary
You recovered very nicely from your mini panic attack! This is a smile-making card; just fabulous. Thanks. Mary Jo
Seriously, it is on 8:45 am on Monday (at least in PST land)- how did you do that so fast?! Meanwhile, I am at work- bleh š This is so pretty, it makes my day a little brighter/lighter- thanks!
Beautiful! Thanks for showing me how to perfectly use the Darling Dots set that I haven’t used yet!
FANTASTIC card, Mary!! Love the bright colors and love the way you framed the sentiment with the hardware!!
Kay
Mary, Mary, Mary!!! LOVE IT!
I like how you always manage to make simple look SO good! This is gorgeous. I like the use of the SAB set and the pretty colors against the white!
Oh Mary, so pretty! Raspberry Tart, next DSP on “my list”!
Bright & cheery! Great job with the sketch!!
What a beautiful card. I haven’t used my Raspberry Tart DP yet, but I’m off to the craft room to make this card. I don’t have the buttons, but I’ll think of something to put in the middle. Thanks for another masterpiece.
Mmmmm…breathe deeply of Spring! That’s what this card makes me think of! Love the extra punch your buttons give the flowers!
Oh! I really like this layout and the colors are great! I would never think to use cameo coral with raspberry, but I love the look. I’m glad you have the talent to share these things with us. What a blessing you are.
Love it, Mary! I am using the Raspberry Tart DP at camps this weekend with another set, but will have to CASE your idea to show as another sample! I will give you full credit. š TFS
