Hello and Happy July! I hope you are all doing well! I've recuperated from JunkieFest and my little bug I got afterwards. This month has started off with a bang and I'm not even talking about the 4th festivities!
I had a really difficult time coming up with a challenge for this month, but when I got the idea, it came together so quickly! I hope you enjoy this challenge as much as I did creating it!
This card is inspired by a dear friend of mine who recently bought a new little camper and I got to spend some time with her at Junkiefest. We live in different parts of the country.

I took traditional summer/July colors, but made a friendship card instead of a patriotic theme.
Most of the card is die cuts, but I did use my MISTI to help with embossing my sentiment straight and able to double stamp the versamark for sure coverage on the card stock. I also used my Cut-Align to cut my banner strip.
Your challenge for this month is to create a summer (Not July 4th Holiday) card using Red, White and Blue. Usually our use of those colors is reserved for the holiday. I tried to use them in a fresh, summery way. I think I achieved that!
I really hope you have a good month and enjoy your craft time. I've been feeling so blessed by our crafting community lately and I sincerely hope you're enjoying the challenges. Even though I'm a terrible procrastinator, I really enjoy making the cards for this forum.
Thank you!
MISTI Monday

I like using my MISTI for double ink on versamark sentiments too! An the MISTI ruler I use often to get my sentiment straight when I adhere it to the card front...
A summer card in red/white/blue sounds like a great idea.

This is perfect! It fits right in with this week's Mod Squad Challenge if anyone is interested: http://modsquadchallenge.com/sweet-strawberries/
They are both all about red, white and blue. Looking forward to playing with this challenge.
I used my Misti on most every card I make, even with a wood mount stamp and a stamp positioner. The magnets help so much in keeping my paper in one place.

Since the monthly Gina K challenge is to use a flag, I chose the USA flag and used Gina K stamps. My MISTI was invaluable for keeping my stamps in rows that are even.

I made these 2 cards using the same stencils, same inks and the same layout...was interesting to me how the colors changed when I changed the order in which I used them on the stencil.
This card is all about the MISTI. I would never have bought, let alone actually use, layering stamp sets without the MISTI. This card is so simple because of that and the beautiful stamp set as well.
Just saw on Facebook that My Sweet Petunia is having a 25% off sale starting next Monday! Woohoo!!
Enabler alert!
I think I need to purchase a small MISTI again, I gave mine away since I got a second regular size...I miss that small one for sentiments...and it takes up less space since sometimes my 8 foot table only has a smidge of space for stamping!!!!

I bought the small one with my voucher...not used it yet...mmmmm...or my corners.

I am attempting to enter this challenge for the first time! The site would not let me copy my link from my gallery - until I have posted in the forums 3 times (?) I'm going to try again...

How strange. Sometimes things just take a while because if you are not a fan club member, you have to have approval first...and sometimes things are just wonky for a bit. Welcome to the MISTI Monday challenge and good luck!
Just coming over to look at the cards! Hope you are all doing well! Can you believe we're nearing the end of July already? It's been a crazy busy month for me. Time to start thinking of a new challenge for August!

You have NO idea how hard it was to get through today! I had a sleep study done overnight last night, so I didn't sleep well or enough! Then my camera was dead and had to be recharged when I finally wanted to take the pictures. (And, by the way, there's nothing quite like that glue they put in your hair to hold the sensors- Eeugh!!!)
Congrats to Lovinpaper, our July Winner! The cards are all awesome! I love looking at them every month. Looks like we had some new entrants as well! Thanks for joining us!
Lovinpaper, I'l send you a message and we'll get that prize to you!
Thanks everyone! Will post August's challenge tomorrow.!

Congrats Lisa...and I agree...I enjoy playing whether I win or not! I use my MISTI with almost every card I make...the other day I used Duplos in it so I could use a wood mounted image that I didn't want to unmount...
Stamp Room Happiness, especially during DTGD this week...DTGD is open to all this year during the 15th year celebration of SCS. Each day new challenges.

MUCH better, thanks. Sleep matters. Now I just wish the doctor would tell me what he thought (sometime before the 8th of October, which is my appointment).
