FM 168 Summer Card

Lisa's challenge this week at Friday mashup came easily to me, once I got my new order of the new in-colors. I hummed and hawed for quite a while before deciding to get the new in colors. After all there are only a few I really like. But the bundle with the paper and ink is such a good deal it didn't make sense to order everything individually. 

Thank you Lisa for the great challenge. I think the colors work very well together!!!

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project using the colors" Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon & Mossy Meadow".

2. Create a project with a "Summer" theme . (Beach, Picnic, Swimming, etc.) 

3. or Mash it Up! and create a "Summer project using the colors above".

For the background I used my brayer and inked up the Cloud embossing folder. You have to get it really inked up or you can end up with spots uninked. Then you place your very vanilla card stock in the embossing folder and run it through you big shot, leaving the clouds to stand out uninked.

To get the sun I punched my Hello Honey with my scalloped circle. Then I used a post it note to help me stick the punched circle back into the punch and punched one more time, giving you smaller rays for your sun.

Wahoo My Paper Pumpkin Kit Part 2

As I mentioned on Monday These are the second set of cards I created using my October My Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

I love to take the supplies they give us and cut all the cards in half. Cutting a 1/4" off the top and side of the card gives you a nice frame to mount on a 4-1/4"X5-1/2" piece of card stock. This makes the kit stretch a lot further. 

My cards below are fairly similar. First I started by putting the Washi tape directly onto the brown paper. I didn't think the tape looked quite right.

So for my next card I put the tape on a strip of whisper white card stock and then adhered it to my card. Looking better.

Also for this card, I ran out of the white file folders from the kit. So, I figured out how to replicate it using the Envelope Punch Board. On monday I will give you a photo tutorial on how to make the folder. It really is quite simple.

For my next card I wanted to see what it would like if the washi tape had a border on the left and right side. I was happy with it but still liked the card above better. 

In an attempt to make a masculine card I got rid of the butterflies and added some twine and a button from the kit. What do you think, masculine enough?
