Today marks the 400th Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. It’s such an honor to be part of the Mojomaker Design Team and share a sketch to inspire your paper crafting each week. Thank you, Julee Tilman, for giving me a shot when the original team began (Mojo Monday #68)! If you promise not to giggle too much, here’s my first Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (#68) from January, 2009.
Where it all began! This week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO400) goes back to the very beginning and is based on challenge #1!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Luscious. Gold heat embossing on Basic Black card stock looks so rich and refined. The You’ve Got This stamp set (a new host rewards set) is perfect for it.
- Did you know? Stampin’ Up! host rewards are available with on-line orders of $150 or more, not just parties! Stock up or team up with a friend and order on-line! Be sure to order on June 2 to qualify under the current (more free product) host rewards program.
- I used a 2 1/2″ Circle Punch to crop the corner and tuck the “You’ve got this” sentiment behind (also heat embossed in gold).
- The Basic Black layer is pumped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals to create 3-D shadowing around the sentiment.
- Bohemian Designer Series Paper provides the dotted background and coordinates with the Delightful Dijon (a new yellow/gold Stampin’ Up! In Color) card base.
TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY! The wait is almost over! The Stampin’ Up! 2015-2016 Annual Catalog begins on June 2 and customers may place their orders for new catalog goodies after 2:00 a.m. Mountain. I’ll post the on-line version of the catalog as well as details for a $99 Starter Kit offer that you’ll definitely want to consider if you LOVE a discount and free products!

WOW!!! This card is stunning! Love the sketch too. The gold embossing on the black and then on the cut out piece.. Just love this! Hope you don’t mind if I CASE this card?
It’s an honor to have you CASE (copy and share with everyone) my card. Thank you, Gerri!
Mary, your card for Mojo monday today is nothing short of Fab! I am not a huge fan of the Dijon, but you found the perfect use here. Gorgeous, gorgeous card.
The gold on black was inspired by YOU, Lynn Hoyt!
Thanks so much for these kind comments. They really kick start my day with a smile!
Wow! The gold on black is so classy and elegant! Gorgeous card!
Absolutely stunning ! I love sparkle and this card has just enough to make it eye catching, but not overdone. I wasn’t sure about the Bohemian DSP until I had it in my hands, now I can see myself using it frequently. Awesome job
Absolutely LOVE this card! The gold embossing really makes the card elegant and it looks so simple. Your first card for MOJO Monday is adorable. I think it is amazing to look back on what we made years ago and compare where we are today. It shows how much we’ve grown!
Omg , love love love it MsMary you blew that baby out the ROOOF !!!!

Thanks, Maria. Your words mean so much. It’s interesting to see after 6 years and lots of cards how our style and abilities change.
Stunning, that is one of the words I would use Mary!!! Love, love the flawless gold embossed flower on the black card stock, truly elegant. Wonderful take on this mile stone for Mojo Monday, I’ve been following this blog for quite some time and only recently, I took the plunge and participated a few times.
Your card is just so perfect to celebrate the 400th. Mojo Monday sketch, it’s truly beautiful.
Oh, and by the way, Miss Mary…..your very first Mojo Monday card is absolutely lovely, thank you for showing it, there is nothing to giggle about my dear, love everything about it.
Thanks, Kadie! Gold really makes it pop and is so luxe!
STUNNING CARD. Love the gold embossing done on this flower.
