It’s hard to believe that Summer is coming to a close this Labor Day weekend. So in order for it to last a bit longer, I created a card featuring stamps from Just For Fun along with Copic Markers and my compressor.
My card measures 4.25″ x 4.25″. I stamped around the actual card with the Palm Tree to create a background instead of a plain card front. I stamped the Tropical Sunset on a 3.5″ x 3.5″ piece of Solar White Classic Crest paper and matted it on a 3.75″ x 3.75″ black piece of card stock. Stamp the sun area on a Post-It note to make a mask of the sun then cut it out. Cover the sun with the mask. Air brush the sky with V01. Use BG10 and BG15 for the water, E31 for the Sea Oats. Go back over the Sea Oats with the brush end of your E31 for more detail. Use the negative from the Post-It note to cover the sky and expose the sun. Air brush with Y35 leaving the center lighter, adding YR86 around the edges. Stamp the Palm Tree on to Solar White Classic Crest paper, color with G24, E31, 35, cut out using an X-acto knife. Use foam tape to adhere to card front. Punch McGill Inc. 69001-Keyhole Punch with tan card stock. Stamp sentiment onto the key hole and layer onto the long Key Plate. Trim to fit card. Adhere with foam tape.
I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day!
Enjoy!

With school about to start and the season about to change I wanted to make a card that would reflect just that. Today I decided I’d make a card based on this weeks Mojo Monday sketch using a stamp from Just For Fun I recently picked up at a convention. After I completed my card I went to the JFF Blog to see what this weeks Friday Color Challenge was and my card just happened to be made using the same colors. How cool was that?

I’m back from CHA and I don’t know where the past two weeks have gone. While I was at the show I took my camera to take lots of photos of the new and exciting products. However, I had my camera on the wrong setting so none of the photos could be used. By now I’m sure you have seen all of the new goodies on various blogs and websites. I think it’s time to start wearing my reading glasses around my neck!
On to my project. I was able to bring home a few of the new punches from McGill Inc. while I was at the show. I made a card featuring some of the New Paper Blossoms punches that McGill Inc. introduced at the show. These punches are designed to create all varieties of flowers using just a few punches. Each of the punches comes with an idea booklet with projects you can recreate. In addition to the Paper Blossoms punches McGill also introduced a Tool Kit and Craft Molding Mat to make these flowers super easy to make.
I chose to make a Peony for this card.
Cindy over at StampingScrapping.com uploaded the videos from McGill Inc. on how to make four flowers using the new Paper Blossoms punches. Go check them out and see how easy it is to make the flowers.
