Mojo Monday 122 - Follow your Heart

It's the first day of a rainy week and I've got the sniffles. But nothing can stop me from making my Mojo Card today..hehe. I was inspired by this little purse I made this weekend and thought I would apply it with the oval subject in the mojo sketch. It's very easy to make.

Fold a side of DSP into 1-1/2" fold and punch with the Wide Oval Punch. Make sure you leave a piece of the punch not to cut on the folded side. This way you can open your little oval and put a little sentiment. In this picture, I left it sealed.
I used the small oval punch for the flap and used a brad with a small flower punch from my Boho Blossom Punch. For the handle, I punch half an oval using the large oval and used the scallop oval punch on the next layer to give me a handle for my purse. Just glue the handle behind the purse and you're set.

BTW, since the paper came embossed with glitter designs, I used StazOn Jet black ink for the sentiment for better visibility.

Supplies Needed:
- Stamp Set: Whimsical Words #118386 p.8 (SAB)
- Ink: StazOn Jet Black Pad #101406 p.190 (IBC)
- Sending Love Specialty DSP #117153 p.13 (OMC)
- Punch: Boho Blossom #110711 ; Wide Oval#112082; Large Oval #107305; Small Oval #107304; Scallop Oval#114889; Heart to Heart #113694(IBC)
- Cardstock: Pretty in Pink #100459; Chocolate Chip Brown #102128 (IBC)
- 5/8 Satin Ribbon- Chocolate Chip Brown #117287 p.27 (OMC)(not shown)
- Silver Brad #104336 p.179 (IBC)
- Textured Impression Folder - Perfect Polka Dots #117335 p.35 (OMC)

Birthday Twirl Card

My CAMERA is here!!! Finally!! I can post my projects again. It has been 10 days since my last project post! Wasn't that a long pause? Ugh.. it was hard not sharing with you my exciting pictures.
While I was waiting for my camera, here is one of the cute projects I made. It was an idea I got from another demonstrator, but couldn't remember which blog. Anyway, here it is in my own version.

I call it a TWIRL Card because as you tip the card from one side to another, it Twirls..hehe. It's animated and will generate surprise. Try it out! I really had fun making it! Using just a penny and SU Dimensionals, you'll have this cute twirl card!
NOTE: Window Word Punch is not wide enough to make the scallop circle twirl, therefore, punch a small piece of the window again (below the first one). If you want more twirl, punch a bit more to the side to elongate the twirl hole.

Supplies Needed:
- Cardstock: Bashful Blue#105120 p.157 ; Very vanilla #101650 p.156; Whisper White#100730; Chocolate Chip Brown #102128 p.156;
