Ahoy! Ready to "sail" into a new week with a fresh Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO187) and a little punch art? After a touch of experimenting with the soon-to-be-released Stampin' Up! Postage Stamp Punch (available May 1 in the Summer Mini Catalog), I came up with a sailboat card idea for my grand nephew's birthday.
- The right sail is simply the Postage Stamp Punch cut in half (diagonally) and the left side is half of the remaining half.
- The little snippet of Daffodil Delight across the the Pear Pizzazz "hull" was created using the the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. It's the part you don't normally use. Sweet accent.
- The large Peach Parfait Scallop was produced with the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die. It's not in the catalog but available in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog Carryover List.
- "24-7" is a sneak peek of the Pretty Postage rubber stamp set, available May 1 in the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog.

Your blog is the only one I automatically get every day and its because of your incredible use of color and you always seem to know how to make such good use of the punches. My upline, downline, and I tell everyone who asks where to find ideas to go to your website and to always watch for the 1 minute to wow tutorials :}
