I am sooooo excited to be taking part in my first SAF over on the PTI blog! I am even more excited to be able to join my sister-in-law for this event, which happens to coincide with a milestone birthday for her. I chose the following photo to inspire my first card:
For my card, I used PTI's Tropics and Still Life: Summer sets. Appropriate, I thought, given that we are in Florida and both love lemons :) I stamped various leaves in multiple shades of green around the edge, adding a few lemon slices from the Still Life set. To finish, I stamped the "for you" sentiment in black on Green Parakeet card stock, and popped it up using foam tape. Happy Crafting!

It's so nice to be back after a busy but wonderful summer! This weeks' MIM challenge was to make a Z-fold card. Ashley created a great video to show us the steps! I knew I wanted to try a fall scene for mine...though it's still hot here, I know fall is not far away. Plus, all the beautiful releases from PTI this month have me thinking leaf-y, all-things-pumpkin-y thoughts! Is anyone else anxiously awaiting for the new Mix & Mat die to be restocked??
I started by ink blending the card to create the sky and grass. Then I stamped the tree and adhered the leaves in a pattern reminiscent of windy fall day. After blending some ink on the fence to distress it, I used liquid adhesive to add it to the scene. The finishing touches were the clouds and pumpkins, some of which I popped up with foam adhesive tape for dimension. This card was so much fun to make!
