Design Team Favorites
where the Design Team chooses one of your cards and gives YOU a creative high five!


I love this card, the layout is brilliant and all the embellishments work without taking the focus off your lovely image and coloring.



As soon as I saw this Julie I was blown away! Love the white on white and how you coloured the gorgeous image. All the beautiful embellishments and die cuts and the extra stamping around the image. It all works so well together.



I love how clean this card is. The scallop, embossed background and twine set the stage for the image and sentiment. They aren't too overpowering and don't clutter up the card allowing the image to be the focus.

This is gorgeous. The colors of the papers, flowers and of course coloring work perfectly together. Seriously this is in one word...fantabulous! Love it!

This card jumped out at me.  I absolutely love everything about it, the colours, embellishments and layout.  Just gorgeous.

Just perfect, like colors, shading, and image selection. I like flowers. I can not stop looking at it again and again!

I'm in love with this card. I like the image, colours, and flowers. Fabulous card!

I was immediately drawn to your project, the softness, the feminity and of course the gorgeous sparkle. Well done.


The embossing, the sparkle, the bronze mirri card really hit the challenge theme head on! The flowers and burlap add wonderful texture. This is would look great framed on the wall! Love it, Linda!



Thanks for a fabulous challenge!

CMM81 | Stack It Up!

Welcome to another edition of the Card Makin' Mamas Challenge!

We hope you enjoyed the last challenge and are ready to use those gorgeous papers we know you've been keeping!


For this challenge we are looking for layers upon layers! No CAS for this round...

Not sure what a layer is? Here's a quick rundown:

Card Base = 1 layer
Ribbon, twine, fiber that goes around the card or another layer = 1 layer
background paper = 1 layer
mat for the background = 1 layer
all embellishments (flowers, buttons, brads, etc.) = 1 layer total

If you turn the card on its back, you could view and count the layers from the side...need a visual?

Here's some eye candy designed by our talented Mojo Mamas!

Nicole, I loved this the moment I clicked your link.  I think the colours and image choice in your card are a perfect combination, combined with the patterned paper and you won me over.  I am yet to purchase those action wobblers but you definitely tempted me into adding them to my wishlist.

Fantastic card with a very fun way to make that beautifully coloured image wobble. I love everything about it!


Oh. My. Sweetness! This is definitely a card to uplift and cheer someone up! The layout, the image, and choice of colors all come together so well. Not to mention you followed the guidelines and the challenge theme perfectly! You can see the heart in this card! TFS, Nicole!



This brought a big smile to my face Toni. Love that image and I bet he looks so funny on his Action Wobble.
This card made me smile, I love that image.  I love the use of action wobbles.


Great use of space! I loved the image and the scene that was created. What isn't to love about it!





Amazing idea! Love is in the air... Lovely card, sweetie design and yammy pink!


I like the colors, it's so of sun and fresh. I like to move image





Beautiful stamping and your colouring is just gorgeous. I also love all the added elements of your project.  So creative, I was immediately drawn to your creation.




Thanks for a fabulous challenge!

Happy Friday to all you Fabulous Crafters!

I am so excited to host a challenge today! I picked one of my favorite themes:

Make It Sparkle!

With all the snow on the ground that sparkles during the day and at night, I just had to pick this theme! I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did here at Card Makin’ Mamas creating all the beautiful cards to share with you.

I love playing with glitter so much if I start, I can’t stop! And after my card is done it is never the only thing that sparkles - my crafty room sparkles, and my clothes sparkle, and my hands and face sparkle, too!

Now grab your pretty, colorful glitter and let’s get you some sparkle! You can use glitter, paper and/or stickers with glitter etc.

The CMM Mojo Mamas created fantastic projects to inspire you for this challenge!

And if you need a bit more inspiration or some hints please check my blog for a Sparkling Tutorial.



Please remember to follow the guidelines and only 2 entries per person.

and now for the gorgeous Mojo Mamas Inspiration!
