Sailing Away….

Published on January 27, 2012June 9, 2014 by Vicky Wright1 Comment

With the rainy weather we are having in South East Queensland & the Sunshine Coast, this card is very appropriate, as we will all soon need the boats out to get around. I love it as it keeps the humidity down!

Inside…

?Our class today at Crafty Creations was to create a male card. These cards can sometimes prove the most difficult to make, but this one come together quiet easy. In fact, I was really surprised at how it all came together. I love the final result!

Measurements –

Base Card – Night of Navy – 8 1/4″ x 5 7/8″ or 21cm x 15cm – Scored in the middle & folded in half

Layer 1 – Whisper White – 5 3/4″ x 4″ or 14.5cm x 10cm

Layer 2 – Riding Hood Red – 3″ x 4″ or 7.5cm x 10cm

Layer 3 – DSP – 2 7/8″ x 4″ or 7cm x 10cm

Layer 5 – Whisper White – 3 1/2″ x 3″ or 8.5cm x 7.5cm

I wanted the card to be Navy & White mostly, with just a touch of Red showing.

I adhered the DSP to the piece of Riding Hood Red leaving just a small amount of the red showing at the top. This was then adhered to the piece of Whisper White prior to adhering to the Base Card – Night of Navy using Snail Adhesive.

Envelope…

?I stamped the image onto Whisper White using Staz-On, allowed to dry & using my Blender Pen & SU Marker – Riding Hood Red, I coloured a little of the sails. This piece was then adhered to Riding Hood Red using Snail Adhesive, before adhering to the Base Card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped my sentiment onto Whisper White using Night of Navy Ink, punched with the small Oval Punch, adhered to a punched piece of Riding Hood Red which had been punched with the Large Oval Punch & then adhered to the bottom of the card with Snail Adhesive.

I love the whole look of this card!

…is such a great stamp set & I find myself going to it constantly that I sometimes have to stop & grab another.

It is so long since I created a card for a challenge that I thought I would try the challenge over at Stampin’ Up! Only. This site is where you have to use SU! products only on your creations. This week the challenge is to use a Technique that you use infrequently. I don’t do nearly enough techniques on my cards, so this is the perfect opportunity to try!

Knowing what I had to create on my card, I then went in search of a sketch. What better place to start than Mary Jo’s. This is the first of her sketches for the year.

For my card I choose the Technique – Faux Silk!

Measurements –
Base Card – Calyspo Coral – 11 5/8″ x 4 1/8″ or 30cm x 10.5cm – Scored & Folded in the middle
Layer 1 – Whisper White – 5 5/8″ x 4″ or 14.5cm x 10cm
Layer 2 – DSP – 5 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ or 14cm x 9.5cm
Layer 3 x 2 – Calyspo Coral – 3 1/2″ x 2″ or 9cm x 5cm
Layer 4 x 2 – Whisper White – 3 3/8″ x 1 7/8″ or 8.5cm x 4.5cm
Layer 5 – Calyspo Coral – 5 3/4″ x 3/4″ or 14.5cm x 2cm
Layer 6 – Whisper White – 5 5/8″ x 5/8″ or 14cm x 1.5cm

I adhered the DSP to the piece of Whisper White Cardstock & then to the Base Card – Calyspo Coral using Snail Adhesive.

Envelope & Inside…

After stamping my image onto Tissue Paper using Pear Pizzazz Ink, let dry & scrunched the tissue, adhered it to a piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Anywhere Glue. I adhered this piece to the 2 pieces of Calyspo Coral Cardstock before adhering to the Base Card.

I stamped my sentiment onto the piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Pear Pizzazz Ink and adhered to the long piece of Calyspo Coral prior to adhering to the card.

I punched 3 flowers in Calyspo Coral Cardstock using the Boho Punch & adhered to the card. Pearls were applied to the centre as well as to some of the images.

I tied a bow & adhered to the card.

Before I get onto sharing today’s card with you, I just want to let you know that I have a FREE pass to the next round of Stampin’ Fun & Friends which begins 20 September through to 4 October.

As the theme for this round is Autumn Artistry, all you have to do is leave a comment saying why you like Autumn.

Now, I know here in OZ we are only a few days off Spring, but there is something I remember about an autumn when living in Canberra many years ago. That is all those beatuiful leaves falling off the many trees in & around the parks & gardens onto the ground & myself & my girlfriend diving into them, playing & hiding. I had never seen anything like it. The memory is still very strong in my mind!

I will be using random.org to draw the winner. Closing date is 9 September.

On with the card –

With Father’s Day coming up here in OZ, we created a card last Friday which could be used for this occasion. In fact, the card suits all occasions. I found the instructions on the very talented Connie Babbert’s site. I did change the measurememnts to suit my card & to make it smaller.

Base Card – More Mustard – 5 7/8″ x 4 1/4″ or 15cm x 10.5cm

Layer 1 – Pear Pizzazz – 5 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ or 14.5cm x 9cm

Layer 2 – DSP – 5 3/4″ x 3/4″ or 14.5cm x 2cm

Layer 3 – DSP – 5 7/8″ x 1″ or 15cm x 2.5cm

Inside Card…

?After scoring my Base Card at 4 1/2″ or 11.5cm, I adhered the wider piece of DSP down the RHS of the card – as per inside photo.

I adhered the narrower piece of DSP down the LHS of Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, stamped the image using Pear Pizzazz Ink at the top of the card & adhered to the Base Card using Snail Adhesive. I wanted the tie to look like it was hanging off a hook.

After making my Tie using DSP, I attached it to the top of the card with Snail Adhesive. I inked my sentiment in Basic Black Ink & stamped at an angle to the tie direct onto the Pear Pizzazz piece.

For my inside, I stamped the images around the edge of Whisper White Cardstock using Pear Pizzazz & adhered to the Base Card.

All in all, a really fast & very easy 5 minute card!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Totally Tool, Short & Sweet, Cheers to You

Ink – Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black

Cardstock – Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, More Mustard

DSP – In Colours

Accessories – Snail Adhesive

Until next time, Enjoy!

The new week begins with a new sketch & stamp set. This week it has been set by Kris and me being me, just about left it to the last moment, but after putting my thinking cap on, I come up with the following creation. Doing these challenges is helping me to think outside the square so to speak & also to use colours hat I would not normally use, let alone together. For more information & to link up with Mr Linky, head over to http://www.sunnychallenges.blogspot.com/

For my card, I stamped an image direct onto Sahara Sand using Blushing Bride Ink. I cut a piece of Bravo Burgandy & mounted a smaller piece of DSP over the top. I cut another piece in Blushing Bride, stamped an image onto it using Sahara Stone Ink, run it through the Bigshot using Embossing Folder – Square Lattice & adhered to card. I then adhered the DSP piece over the top, as per the sketch.

I cut 2 ovals using my Bigshop & the Ovals Die, the bigger one in Bravo Burgandy, while the smaller piece is Sahara Sand. I stamped the same image onto the Sahara Sand piece using Blushing Bride Ink & then the bird image over the top with Bravo Burgandy Ink.

I again stamped the bird image onto a scrap piece of Sahara Sand Cardstock, cut it out & mounted over the top of the first image using SU Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock, stamped an image using Blushing Bride Ink & then stamped the bird image over the top with Bravo Burgandy Ink.
