Time is ticking away…and it won’t be long until the retiring stamp sets will be gone. Over the next few days, we will be taking a look at some of the sets which will be leaving us. Today’s focus will be on a classic set with images suitable for watercoloring or embossing…Uncharted Territory. This set is suitable for masculine cards which can be clean and simple in design or even cards with a slightly vintage feel.
This card originally appeared on The Stampin’ Schach back on August 5, 2010. Here are the tips as they appeared then:
The finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide x 5-1/2″ long.
- “Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay! I’m havin’ fun with my Big Shot today!” In a matter of minutes, I zipped More Mustard card stock through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. For a little contrast, Marina Mist card stock was paired up with the Square Lattice folder!
- Twine is fine! Whether you are looking for a distressed, country or masculine theme, Stampin’ Up!’s Hemp Twine does the trick. I just wrapped it around the Marina Mist section of the card and adhered it to the back. No bow…no woes! How easy is that?
- Water color in the blink of an eye with Blender Pens and inks! Marina Mist seas, Cajun Craze cliffs, and a Cherry Cobbler with Basic Gray lighthouse complete this seascape!
- Spritz! The Color Spritzer Tool is an indispensable part of my stampin’ routine, especially when paired with a Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker.I hope you enjoyed a look back at this classic set. Remember, retiring stamp sets are only available until May 31st. To see the rest of the retiring sets and accessories, please consult the links below. Until next time…

Love the masculine cards! Thanks for re-sharing it with us! I may have to add this to my collection!
This is one of my favorite masculine stamp sets, Ann. I’m going to miss it, too! And of course, I love what you’ve done with it.
This is one set that is NOT going into my sale! Great card Ann!!
Ann….what a lovely surprise I had in my mailbox! A new catalog from you!!! You are the sweetest, most thoughtful gal. Thank you! I had company all weekend (College graduation party for our youngest son) so I was unable to get to it…but oh, my! Just the cover has me drooling…and I bet it will be dog eared and marked up with Sharpies before the day is over. Big hugs!
I have decided that your good-bye posts make me want to order sets that I don’t have! Eeek! Stop enabling me to shop, Ann! Haha! This is gorgeous! I love the color combo, so perfect for a “guy” card!
