Trick or Treat
I know what you’re thinking… how many Halloween cards can the woman make in 24 hours?!? You’d be surprised! I know I was!!! Ha! 😉 I didn’t make a thing last week and this week my crafty mojo is on overflow. I’ve even been dreaming about projects to do! Ah, but you didn’t come here […]
A Deconstructed Halloween
If you’ve read my blog for any length of time (like, the last 30 days) you would know that my BFF and I are big fans of the card sketches at DeconstructingJen.com and use her archive to pick sketches we like. Then we each whip up a card for whatever occasion we have a need for. […]
Are You Out of Your Gourd?
Hope you’re not tired of Halloween cards cause I have a few more up my sleeve! This one is perfect for a friend who has somehow talked me into a Cross Fit class. Maybe I’m the one out of my gourd because I actually agreed 😉 The image is another of Elizabeth Dulemba’s coloring […]
Steampunk Halloween Card
Back for a 2nd post today… whoo hoo! Just wanted to share the steampunk card I made for my son for Halloween. He’s been on a steampunk / industrial kick for a few months so I thought he’d totally appreciate the style of this card: The steampunk ghost and ghost hunter / explorer are […]
Happy Halloween!
Today I have a 3D project to share… a spooky little something I made for my son: The cut file is a freebie from Bird at Bird’s Cards, and was cut on my Silhouette. The file was a breeze to work with and assemble. I really wanted to fill the eye cavities with small, black rhinestones, […]
Karate Master
I whipped up a quick card today… it was so nice to get back to crafty fun after last week’s busy schedule. It took more time to glue this card together than it did to get all the pieces ready! The adorable spiderweb image comes from TiffanyDoodles and the hysterical sentiment is one of my […]
Halloween Spell Books
Today I would like to share my Halloween mantle decor for this year and talk about the books I made for the vignette. This will be a picture laden post 🙂 I really love Halloween and with my son getting older, I wanted to lose the cutesy Halloween decorations in favor of something a bit […]
Tickle your funny bone
I was just playing around tonight with some Halloween digital stamps and this card came together really quickly: The skeleton is a coloring page from Elizabeth Dulemba subtly shaded with Promarkers, and the sentiment is from Create with TLC. I cut the sentiment and its layer on a label shape from the Silhouette store. The […]
Eek! A special Halloween card
I am so excited to show you a special card I received in the mail! Today’s card is courtesy of Sharon, the only official Guest Designer here at Misplaced Mojo. I’m hoping to showcase quite a few of her projects (hint, hint Sharon!) in the coming months! 🙂 Have a look at what may […]
All Hallow’s Eve card
Ugh! It’s been a busy week so crafty time has been at a minimum, and I’ve got a few more days without getting any quality time in the craft room 😦 I do have something to share though… behold, some Halloween goodness: This is yet another card based on a deconstructingjen.com sketch, […]
Silhouette Weekly Challenge – Flowers and Frames
This week’s challenge on the Silhouette blog is to use flowers and/or frames from the Silhouette store. I love the 3D flowers available through the Silhouette store so I selected the Nested Flower 3D set. I cut it out in 3 shades of red, gently curved the petals to give it more dimension, and gave […]
Congrats, again…
Finally I’m getting around to posting this card. Better late than never! This is the 2nd housewarming card I made a friend/coworker of my husbands. The first card was sweet, but this one is meant to be funny. Have a look: This friend is quite the colorful character, with language to match! The guy is […]
Congrats on your new house!
Maybe, *you* didn’t just get a new house! Well, maybe you did… how would I know?!?… but alas, this card is not for you. What I do know is that my husband rarely requests a card, but a coworker/friend just bought his first house and he wanted to give him a gift card as a […]
Deconstructed Sketch 119
My BFF and I sometimes challenge each other to create a card and take turns picking a sketch to use from various websites. No pressure (usually!) and no time frame. I find that our friendly challenges are a great way to make me carve out some crafty time in my busy week… or just give […]
Deconstructed Challenge – Sketch 120
One of my favorite bloggers/crafter/colorers is Jen at deconstructingjen.com. The woman has mad coloring skills. She hosts a (weekly?) card sketch challenge. I’ve used her archive of sketches before for inspiration, but I wanted to see if I could actually pull off a card during the current week’s challenge. You can read more about the […]
