A Masculine Wish

We made this nice masculine card at my class last week:


It's a perfect card for a guy, and could be used for a variety of occasions.  I love the Come Sail Away suite, and this card uses many of the products that are available in the bundle.

We started with a piece of 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Night of Navy cardstock, folded in half.  To this we adhered two strips of the Come Sail Away designer series paper, leaving a small space between them.  Then we wrapped the Bakers Twine around the card twice, ending with a knot and an anchor from the Sail Away Trinkets.


The sailboat and lighthouse (from Sailing Home) were stamped on Sahara Sand using Night of Navy ink, then cut with the coordinating Smooth Sailing dies.


Don't recognize the sentiment?  Well that's where we went AWOL from the suite, and picked up the phrase from the adorable On To Adventure set.  It was stamped on Sahara Sand and cut with the Smooth Sailing dies (a second label was cut using Night of Navy; we snipped it in half and "spread" it to create the frame around the sentiment).  And we finished with a ships wheel, cut with the dies and Soft Suede cardstock.

I'm starting to like making masculine cards!

Sailing Home

Yesterday I showed you some cards made with the Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack.  And I promised you a card using other items from the Come Sail Away Suite of products.  So today I have a stamped card using the Sailing Home stamp set:


I am so in love with this suite (those of you who know me, know that I love lighthouses and the beach, so this stamp set really talks to me!  Did you know my husband and I spent a night in a lighthouse for our anniversary?  But that's another story).

And I did another card with the reflection technique--see the reflection of the sailboat in the water?  So fun!


I also used an Aquapainter to paint a watercolor wash of Balmy Blue on my Shimmery White cardstock.  Then I stamped the water image from High Tide after stamping my sailboat.

And the lighthouse:


Stamped in Soft Suede and colored with a very light wash of Terracotta Tile (a new In Color!) then cut with the coordinating Smooth Sailing dies, it's popped up on the beach to guide our boat through the waters.

I stamped another card with this set, and used a few of the accessories; see it here.

Come Sail Away!  What a perfect introduction to summer!
