Welcome to another Make My Monday Challenge! Dawn chose Anything Airborne for this two-week challenge. I hope you will pop over to the MMM blog to see what the rest of the design team created as well!
Here’s my card:
Over the past few weeks, I’ve realized that I have no dies for stars, and only a couple of airborne sets. I chose Sailing Home for this challenge because of the sentiment I used on the front: Set Sail in the Direction of Your Dreams. I made this card specifically for a former student who is halfway through bootcamp. He can’t get much in the mail, but I hope this card reminds him how proud I am of him.
After this challenge, I need to hide the Sailing Home stamp set, though. I posted a fun fold card using this stamp set for the design team for Cardz 4 Guyz about a week ago. You can see that card here.
What I Did:
The first thing I should say is that I actually mailed the card before writing this blog post. Not the best sequence of events I know, but I can give you basic information.
- The Just Jade base measures 5-1/2 inches by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches.
- The DSP on the front of the card measures 4-1/8 inches by 5-3/8 inches.
- I cropped the frame and the white cardstock behind the frame using the stitched rectangle dies. The sentiment square was cropped using the Stitched Shapes die set.
- I stamped the sentiment and the boat onto scrap white cardstock. Then, I used the Just Jade blends combo to color the various parts of the boat.
- I really needed to make sure that I had some airborne birds on this card. There are three on the background behind the boat and three more on the sentiment block. I needed to mask off the individual birds in order to get them separated around the sentiment.
- The white inside panel measures 4 inches by 5-1/4 inches. I also stamped a set of birds in the upper, right-hand corner of the inside.
- Just to make sure I had myself covered, I stamped another set of birds on the bottom, left-hand corner of the envelope.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!

Have a Peachy Day!
