Come Sail Away
Last week we had fun creating this set of four masculine cards and envelopes using a variety of masking and heat embossing techniques. I love this Sailing Home bundle! It’s such a wonderful set.
Remember to dress up your envelope, it’s as easy as stamping it!
The four cards we made were inspired by Angela Meiritz-Reid who is a 2019 Stampin’ Up! Artisan Team Member. Her designs incorporated the Come Sail Away Memories and More card pack.
The backgrounds on my cards used a retired stencil with embossing paste, spritzing with ink and shimmer paint, sponging and using a textured embossing folder.
On this card, I used embossing paste with a drop of Night of Navy Ink and applied it through the mask using a SU spatula. To speed up the drying process, I used the heat tool.
The lighthouse is stamped on vellum using versamark ink and heat embossed in white. The greeting is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set and the rope image was stamped off to add that extra bit of character.
The edges have been distressed to add extra texture.
For the background of this card, I filled a Stampin’ Spritzer with Isocol rubbing alcohol, a drop of night of navy ink and a drizzle of Champagne Mist shimmer paint and gave it a good shake.
To get the uneven softened edge on top and bottom, I tore scrap paper and placed it on top of the background stripes mask then sprayed through the mask using the spritzer mix.
The seaweed is from this lovely bundle and is cut out in night of navy and the anchor is heat embossed in silver on silver foil. The backers twine is looped and knotted through the anchor.
The yachts and birds are stamped in night of navy.
For this card I used the corrugated 3D textured embossing folder and tore the top and bottom edge for more texture. The birds were simply stamped and the light house was stamped in night of navy ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder then cut out with the lighthouse die.
I also attached some silver metallic thread behind the light house. The ships wheel is glued on the front of the light house using tombo liquid glue. I used the bakers twine on the anchor and unravelled the ends slightly for more texture.
I then attached the anchor simply by using a glue dot.
On this card I simply sponged through the mask to create the background. The seaweed and ships wheel are cut out using the dies, the large yacht is stamped in night of navy on vellum and heat embossed with clear heat embossing powder.
It’s attached with double side tape. The small yacht and bird are stamped. The rhinestone on the ships wheel was coloured using a night of navy Stampin’ Blend marker.
The greeting and label is also from the Come Sail Away bundle.
I hope you like the Sailing Home bundle as much as I do. It’s such a versatile suite and is available in my store. If you’re in Australia, please shop with me.

May 2019 Card Class Classic Garage Suite
Are you looking for the perfect masculine suite?
Look no further than the Classic Garage Suite which has everything you need to make some awesome cards. These are the cards we made it this week’s class.
I stamped the background image using the tool box and lots of layers. I cut the cogs in half and place behind greetings for maximum exposure
This card was inspired by Julie kettlewell (Pinterest)
I used Tranquil Tide to stamp the Mustang on the background and used the coordinating DSP to soften the look. The grey granite strip is embossed using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
I used the Big Shot embossing platform to emboss the cogs rather than cut them out.
The card is finished off with the cute spanner embellishment
The background on this card was stamped with the oily splotch and nuts.
The cogs are tarnished by dragging a Stāzon ink over them and the lovely you ribbon also adds a finishing touch

January 2019 Card Class Animal Expedition
Welcome back to my card classes for 2019!
This month we made four cute cards using the super cute Animal Expeditions Suite. I used the happy birthday greeting form the new Amazing Life stamp set, I thought this worked really well with the images.
These cards are suitable for girls and boys of any age.
Rhino Card
We stamped the rhino and coloured the bird using Stampin’ Blends, then cut it out with the matching Thinlits ‘Animal Friends‘ die.
The cobbled path was run through the big shot using the embossing plates! I love these as the double the use of my dies! I can now cut or emboss.

Kangaroo Card
I was inspired by a card in the Stampin’ Up catalogue. It’s lovely to have one of our Australian native animals to play with too
The base of this card is on berry burst card stock and the kangaroo is cut out of the cute Designer Series Paper. The leafy cut out is using the dies in the bundle. The wooden elements ad a nice finishing touch.

Giraffe Card
I love how the giraffe is poking out of the circle. This was also cut out of the DSP. The frog on the branch was stamped and cut out with the matching framelits and… there’s a die for the old olive branch too!
Don’t you just love all of the coordination that Stampin’ Up! provides for us to make projects so much easier
Products used to make this card:
DSP Card
This one I totally cased from the annual catalogue. I just used a heart instead of the button and changed the greeting and the DSP pattern.
It features a full card front of the really cute DSP!
I love the leaf ribbon and the wooden elements, do you? They add a different element to the card.
Handy Hint: The easiest way to attach the leaf ribbon is using glue dots.
