Stamp Review Crew: Sailing Home Edition

A masculine card with a sailing theme! Batten down the hatches! It’s time for the Stamp Review Crew Sailing Home Edition!

It’s time for the Stamp Review Crew: Sailing Home Edition! If this is your very first visit to one of our hops, the Stamp Review Crew is a group of international Stampin’ Up! demonstrators whose mission is to do a blog hop on the first, third and fifth Mondays of each month. Our hops are unique because each of us features the same stamp set used in a variety of ways, giving you loads of inspiration for that set. The hops are archived at the Stamp Review Crew blog. You will be able to click through each hop at any time, going directly to the posts for that hop, whenever you want.

This week we are featuring the Sailing Home set. If you are following along in order, you have just arrived from the amazing Mary Haugen.  Mary’s work is always a favorite of mine!  After visiting me, you will continue to the next stop, the talented Charlet Mallett.  I loves what she does. Be prepared to be inspired as you travel along on today’s hop!

Sailing Home Masculine Card

As I have with some of my other cards, I let the designer paper dictate the stamped image and the sentiment. I stamped the compass in Night of Navy, and added a silver foil needle.   Old Olive vellum seaweed and a Crumb Cake rope die cut draw the eye in.

Gold Embossed Thank You for The Paper Players

Looking for a gold embossed thank you that is fit for a queen? It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

gold embossed thank youI love a gold embossed card with a touch of elegance, and today’s gold embossed thank you card is indeed elegant and feminine. It features the Fanciful Fragrance stamp set from the Annual Catalog, a set which appeals to my vintage style.  I thought this trio of perfume bottles would be perfect for Anne Marie’s sketch challenge.  I hope you enjoy today’s post.

The unexpected! I usually do not think of gingham as being particularly elegant. However, this adorable Gingham pattern, in Crumb Cake, formed the perfect background for today’s card.  Obviously it coordinates well with both the Crumb Cake cardstock panel, which I embossed using the Scripty 3D folder, and the gold foil, which I added for a touch of elegance.

Lighthouse Friendship Card for FF0039

Quick and easy! Don’t you just love a “No Stamping” card every once in awhile? That’s what I am serving up with today’s lighthouse friendship card! Welcome to Festive Friday, where we are celebrating Lighthouse Days and/or Light Rays/Starburst.
I opted to use the large laser cut lighthouse overlay from the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack, making today’s card SO easy.  I hope you enjoy it!

Colors of the Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Easy peasy! I simply added Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back of the lighthouse, and adhered the colored cardstock to it in the appropriate sections. Then I trimmed away the excess cardstock with paper snips.  I am not going to fib.  In a couple of places it was tedious snipping, but in most places it wasn’t difficult at all.

To complete the card, I selected a sentiment from the Memories & More card pack, and added a trio of rhinestones.
