Isn’t this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO235) delightful? It’s a snappy background for today’s colorful birthday card, destined for my little grandnephew, Baron.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- I layered the “celebrate you” sentiment on the cloud (both images from Stampin’ Up! “Send Me Soaring” rubber stamp set), snipped it out with my Paper Snips and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Watch my Paper Snips Tips Video Tutorial to learn how to get the most out of your snips.
- The Whisper White circle measures 3 1/2″ in diameter and the Pumpkin Pie circle is 3 11/16″. I used the Stampin’ Up! Circle Scissor Plus and Circle Scissor Plus Glass Mat to “dial up” the perfect size. See my Circle Scissor Plus Video.
- The ziggety Pumpkin Pie edging was created with the rick rack strip on the Tasteful Trim Bigz L Die.

Mary I love your web site, your stamp room, organizational ideas and most of all your creations. I have not been a follower long. What I like most in my easter basket is chocolate (especially a bunny). 🙂
Mary I love your beautiful creations. I have been a follower for a few years now and your page is the first page I search when I turn on my computer. You have given me so much inspiration over the years. I love plain jelly beans in my Easter basket.
LOVE the bold colors to go along with the bold and outline stamps–this is fabulous! 🙂
Love your card! The colours are great!
just got this set, can’t wait to play, thanks for the great layout idea!

How seriously spectacular! Love the dimension and cheerfulness. Another winner, Mary!
What a fantastic color combination, Mary! Love the details with the rick rack trim (great way to tie in the kite points). Love your attention to detail and this card will be a winner for your grandnephew.
Very bright and fun…can hear the tails rustling in the breezes!
Fabulous card! Ditto what Teresa said – exactly what I was thinking when I first looked at the card.
Mary what a wonderful card for spring! I love your cloud background and how you stamped the sentiment inside the cloud. TFS
Mary,
I have really been enjoying your designs. And, like the comments from above I too think the colors used really Pop!
I believe I’m drawn to the clean, fresh look you achieve. I think this card could go either way – boy or girl. It’s just a great all over look.
Love the sketch and your interpretation of the challenge!
Great job, Mary.
