Throwback Thursday # 19

This week I am again using a stamp from Wonderful Woodcuts because it is another nautical stamp. This one could be used for several occasions, not just Father's Day.

Again I also used some of the Maritime Designer Series Paper, but I also used some of the paper from the retired Designer Series Paper Regal Background stack.

The Globe and anchor are from The Open Sea stamp set.

 

Retired products I used:
Wonderful Woodcuts stamp set
Maritime Designer Series paper stack
Regal Background Designer Series paper stack

Current products I used:
Whisper White card stock
The Open Sea stamp set
Night of Navy Classic Stampin' ink pad
Bermuda Bay card stock
Pool Party card stock

Friendly Wishes Card

This weekend is Memorial Day so it is a good time for an encouragement card that includes some red, white, and blue.

This card is created with the Maritime Designer Series Paper pack, one of my favorites, and a stamp set that is in the new Stampin' Up! catalog, Friendly Wishes.

I will miss this paper pack, but there is still time to purchase it until June 2nd. I already have an extra pack put away for scrapbook pages.

This card will work for a Father's Day card as well as an encouragement card. You could even put a birthday greeting inside. It is versatile.

I used the circle collection framelits and for the mats I drew around the outside edge of the framelit and cut them out by hand. I used the star framelit set to cut the stars from glimmer papers. The ink is Night of Navy.

I used a Mojo Monday sketch from November 2010. You can check out all their sketches at mojomonday.blogspot.com. They have an archive with 100s of sketches.

Have a blessed day!

Guy Greeting Cards- 3 of 3

This is the third greeting card that I made with the Guy Greeting card stamp set. This set has many stamps and I'm sure that it won't be the last card that I make with it.

  I haven't created cards that feature the wrenches or the hats. There are so many good sentiments with this set. I'm glad that is will still be available when the new catalog comes out. Sometimes there aren't enough masculine greetings.

I used the Maritime Designer Series paper pack for the papers on this card. I like these papers and I will miss them. There isn't anything like them in the new catalog, but you can still get these papers until they're sold out.

This is another Mojo Monday sketch. Have you tried Mojo Monday sketches yet?

Adventure Awaits Encouragement Card

This is a stamp from the Stampin' Up! Spring Occasions catalog. It comes with several others in the Adventure Awaits stamp set. They are all fairly large stamps, which makes for quick and easy cards. This one could be for anyone, but is one of the few encouragement sentiments that would be especially good for men and boys.

I used the Maritime Designer Series Paper for the background. The sentiment is stamped with Night of Navy ink. I also used Night of Navy card stock, Real Red card stock, Coastal Cabana card stock and Whisper White card stock.

Thanks Mate Mojo Monday Card

It's Monday, and that means that there is another Mojo Monday sketch to try. This week I am combining it with the Paper Players theme challenge, thank you cards.
I thought I would use some nautical Stampin' Up! stamps with this sketch. How often do you see a masculine thank you card? Well, I thought I would give it a try. What do you think?

I'm really lovin' the new Stampin' Up! Hardwood stamp. I'll try not to use it too much, but the size of the grain is just perfect for card-making. It doesn't overwhelm the other elements on the card.

I used the ship and the compass rose from the Open Sea stamp set. The banner, sentiment and circle outline around the compass rose are all from the Settin' Sail photopolymer stamp set.

It was fun to see Bulgaria, Italy and Netherlands stopped by to check out my blog. And thanks for leaving comments. I enjoy reading what you have to say.

Stamp Happy Today!

Hello, Sailor Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge

Sunday Stamps has a fun sketch challenge today.
I decided to pull out a couple of my newest Stampin' Up! stamp sets that I haven't had a chance to play with yet. The combination makes for a real masculine card that I believe my husband will appreciate. He likes nautical themes even more than I do. Plus he was a Sea Scout as a teenager and went on many sailing excursions on the Columbia River.

At first glance it may seem that my card does not fit the sketch because the sketch has 4 panels at the bottom. But if you look closely you will see that there are indeed 4 panels on the bottom of this card. I used Early Espresso card stock on two panels and embossed them with Tempting Turquoise embossing powder. The other two panels are Tempting Turquoise card stock embossed with Early Espresso embossing powder. Now do you see it? ☺ It looks a bit like the weathered boards on an ocean-side cottage.

Products I used:
Early Espresso card stock
Tempting Turquoise card stock
Whisper White card stock
Early Espresso Classic Stampin' ink
Tempting Turquoise Classic Stampin' ink
Basic Gray Classic Stampin' ink
VersaMark ink
Hello, Sailor stamp set
Hardwood stamp
Brights Candy Dots
Stampin' Sponge
