Welcome to Mojo Monday Sketch 79. I'm so lucky to be on the Mojo-Maker Design Team and see Julee Tilman's top notch sketches in advance. Sharing them with you first thing on Monday morning is a delight.
I stamped my "cuppa joe" from the "Font of You" stamp set twice, first on Very Vanilla and second on Real Red. card stock The Real Red version was snipped out and propped up on Stampin' Dimensionals. TIP: I used a Hobby Blade to carve out the interior of the handle.
The corners were shaped with a Corner Rounder Punch and layered on Chocolate Chip. I used Real Red Textured card stock for a rich look. The Chocolate Chip layer was defined with the Scallop Edge Punch.
Three sweet Stampin' Up! Latte Designer Buttons adorn the corner. TIP: Mini Glue Dots work perfectly for locking the buttons into place.
The retro Baja Breeze patterned paper is from Stampin' Up!'s Hostess Level 3 Hand Drawn Bundle. Click here for how you can earn this bundle free! I wrapped a piece of 5/8" So Saffron Grosgrain Ribbon (an exclusive Sale-A-Bration gift) around the whole works and added it to a 4.25 x 5.5 So Saffron card base (scored on the side).
The final touch was the "latte" sentiment. TIP: Using Small and Large Oval Punches to crop the shapes, I offset the layers to match the retro feel of the rest of the card.

Fabulous card, Mary! Love the rounded corners and button accents.

Mary – this is a wonderful take on the Mojo Skech – love it!!!

Great job! I really think the buttons and the ovals just made the card. I love that ribbon but can’t justify another $50 purchase to get the ribbon. I just love all your projects! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love it, Mary! The buttons are divine and I love how the ribbon “ties” it altogether! Great take on the sketch! Hugs, Monica

I love the way you rounded two opposite corners only on the choc. chip & white layers. It gives your card that little something special not to mention the way cute button trio!TFS!
as always, I LOVE YOUR STUFF dear Mary!!!
Cheers
Beautiful card! I love the colors.
Mary, How do you tie your bows so perfectly?
Hi Stephanie: There used to be an excellent utube video on tying the 5/8″ grosgrain. Anyone out there know where it is? However, I can’t find it any more. The key is holding one side steady while pulling on the other. You may have to try a couple times, but I get good results this way. Hugs, Mary
