The suite includes the stamp set, designer series paper, coordinating dies, an embossing folder, Bakers Twine and trinkets. There is also a coordinating Memories & More Card Pack, which can make creating cards really simple.
For my first card using these products, I chose to keep it simple. Because of the nautical theme, I chose the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Cards & Envelopes for a card base. These crisp navy and white cards come in two sizes; I picked the larger card.
Then using the Come Sail Away DSP, I cut a frame to fit the card front, with a rectangle in the middle (using the Rectangle Stitched dies). This was adhered to a slightly smaller piece of cardstock, cut with the same die, to give it a little extra heft, as the frame was popped up on Dimensionals.
I used my Stamparatus and a piece of Window sheet, stamping the boats multiple times with Smoky Slate ink. Once I had a clear image I laid the acrylic sheet directly on my main panel (upside down), lining up the bottom of the boats, and pressed the sheets together to transfer the image. This gave me a light, slightly muddled image that looks like a reflection in the water.
Once my boats were done, I carefully sponged Balmy Blue ink for both sky and water, then used the "water" stamp from High Tide to add the waves and added some So Saffron for a little sunlight.
The panel was cut with the Rectangle Stitched dies and I wrapped some of the Baker's Twine around it, adding a cut little anchor charm.
The Come Sail Away Suite will be released on June 4th. You won't want to miss this beautiful and very versatile suite of products! I know it will be a favorite of mine, so watch for more samples...coming soon.
