Happy Stamper's New Catalog Blog Hop

Hello!
Welcome to our blog hop, thanks for stopping by.

I have one sweet baby card to share with you and a Masculine card that would make a nice card for a birthday or Father's Day.

For the baby card I used the new baby stamp set, Something for Baby. This set is very sweet and the new word set, Something to Say, coordinates with it perfectly. I love it! I also used the new decorative heart mask. It comes in a set along with a star mask. I lightly sponged the entire front with hearts and on the inside I chose to sponge the hearts just along the bottom edge. The mask brings a design element from the front of the card to the inside of the card and is the perfect finishing touch! I used a 2010 Mojo Monday Sketch (#147) to create the layout for this card.

  
For the second card I made a Masculine card using the stamp set, Travelers. I also used the new Maritime Designer Series Paper. To bring the design from the front to the inside, for that perfect finishing touch, I added a strip of the Maritime Designer Series Paper along the bottom edge. I also used a 2010 Mojo Monday Sketch for this card. Can you tell I like to try Mojo Monday Sketches? I like to enter their weekly challenges, but I also like to go to their archives, choose a layout and design a card around it. There are years of layouts to choose from.

One of my lucky blog readers will receive this Decorative Dots embossing folder and a 6" x 6" stack of retired Designer Series Papers.
