You know there is always one product or stamp set or product suite that you are just drawn too and love….well that is the Mosaic Madness items for me! I am in love with the Mosaic Madness Stamp Set, Mosaic Punch, and Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. You can purchase the Stamp Set and Punch in a bundle at a 15% discount – always love a discount! I have used these items so much since they came out in June with the NEW Idea Book & Catalog! Some of the samples I have created use all 3 items like this Midnight Muse and Whisper White card on the left! I stamped the images onto scrap paper in Midnight Muse Ink and punched them out with the Mosaic Punch. Some of them are adhered directly to the card front (which was embossed with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder) and some were adhered on with Stampin’ Dimensionals (heart them). In the smaller embossed images, I used one of the punches from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and added a pearl! Can’t wait to try this card out in other colors like Elegant Eggplant or Melon Mambo or multi-colored!!! So many possibilities, so little time! 🙂

And then there is this amazing card!! I love the color combination of Bermuda Bay and the New In-Color Strawberry Slush. They go together so well and are so vibrant. You all know I’m a Brights Girl more than Neutrals or Subtles. After embossing the Whisper White Cardstock with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder, I stamped 2 of the images from the Mosaic Madness Set in Bermuda Bay and Strawberry Slush. I will say it isn’t always easy getting them lined up inside that embossed image but the Clear Stamps and Blocks make it so much easier! The greeting is from the My Paper Pumpkin first kit (for more information on that, click here). And a little trick about the banner flag that on this card…..for a perfect flag every time, cut straight up in the middle of the end and then cut diagonal from the corner to the end of that straight cut on both sides! Viola! Another way to get the banner look is using the New Hexagon Punch but it is a more shallow “V”. For more samples of the Mosaic Madness Suite, check out my Facebook page – StampinAndScrapbookin with Laura Schmidt-Borchert!
