Stampin' Up! Sailing Home Bundle


The Sailing Home bundle includes the Sailing Home Stamp Set and the Smooth Sailing Dies.  Its sure to become your go-to stamp set for Masculine Birthdays and Special occasions, or for that family that's always at the ocean or lake once you see how many different elements this suite,--called the Come Sail Away Suite--includes.  Check it out on pages 144-146 of the annual Stampin' Up! Catalog.  You going to enjoy making cards, samplers, and scrapbook pages using this set.      

       



This was a swap card that I received from another demonstrator,  Dorene Decibus that I modified as a birthday card.  However, Dorene's original card is perfect as a Father's Day card for your husband or a Father or Grandfather that headed you in the right direction in life.  My grandfather was a carpenter, with 18 children living in a very small town in Western Minnesota.  He had a carpenter shop behind his home that my aunt, who still lives in the family home as kept in his memory.  This time of year I miss him greatly as we start planning family reunions, which as you can imagine, include a very, very large collection of aunts uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
  
Card idea using the Stampin' Up! Sailing Home Stamp Set


The cards are created on a Night of Navy basecard.  Then a long piece of Balmy Blue creates the base for the front panels and the inside folds.  The panels use different prints from the coordinating Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper Pack. The final panel is Whisper White stamped with the compass image in Night of Navy ink so you can write a short message and sign the card.   


Changing elements and sentiments in your card creates cards for different uses.


The photo above show the inside panels of the two card laid flat.  You can see how you can use the same basic card design and customize it for different occasions by changing out the elements and the sentiment.

The card uses die cuts that were stamped in Night of Navy using the Sailing Home Stamp Set.  Then they were die cut using the Smooth Sailing Dies.  The corner of the card front's sentiment is accented with one of the Sail Sway Trinkets and a bow made from the coordinating Navy and Sahara Sand Twine.      
  



If your undecided between getting the Sailing Home Stamp Set or the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp set from an earlier post, my advice is, "get them both".  You won't regret how much use you get out of these two wonderful new sets.

Card idea using Memorable Mosaic Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

  • Memorable Mosaic Stamp Set
  • Friday evening Cookies, Coffee & Cards Class, June 14, 2019
  • Final day to order June Paper Pumpkin Craft Kit

Memorable Mosaic Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!


The Mosaic Mood Suite from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog includes so many wonderful surprises.  The Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper, and the Memorable Mosaic Stamp Set includes some beautiful images.  I've been fussy cutting images from the Designer Series Paper to create beautiful cards, but today, I'm using the tree image from the Memorable Mosaic Stamp Set for this beautiful card.  And you're going to love working with this set.      

       
Add caption




The base card is Garden Green.  Then a layer of one of the prints from the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Then the image layer of Whisper Whit is matted with a piece of Soft Suede layer of cardstock.    
  
Memorable Mosaic Stamp Set and the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper


The tree image is two stamp pieces -- he leaves and the tree trunk.  I stamped the leaves in Garden Green.  Then I stamped off twice and stamp just slightly offset to create a second layer of leaves.  The tree trunk is stamped in Soft Suede.   


Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Paper includes
a sheen that reminds me of Mosaic Tiles


I love that the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper includes a shine that reminds me of Mosaic Tiles that glistens when you look at it in different lights.

The sentiment on this card is stamped on a rectangle cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies and then stamped with Soft Suede ink.  The sentiment is mounted on top of the 8" Burlap Ribbon and a 1/4" Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon.      
  

Memorable Mosaic Stamp set is perfect for Masculine cards


I think this card works perfectly as a masculine Thank You or Birthday card for a family member or professional business associate. 

Be sure to add the new Mosaic Mood Bundle to your new catalog shopping list.  You're sure to find lots of inspiration for using this set.
