Sailing Home stamp set

Hi stamping friends,

Another of my favourite stamp sets is retiring, which is the Sailing Home stamp set (#149457) along with the co-ordinating Smooth Sailing dies (#149576).

I used one of the beautiful papers from the New Horizons 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#157768) for the background. The birds from the Sailing Home stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto the DSP. This was matted with Evening Evergreen card (#155575), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). 

I stamped the lighthouse from the Sailing Home stamp set with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used dies from the Smooth Sailing Die to cut the lighthouse and the rope. I used Cinnamon Cider card (#153083) for the rope which had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back. The compass is also from the Sailing Home stamp set and stamped with Smoky Slate ink (#147113). I cut this with a Layering Circles Die (#151770).

“Happy Birthday” from the Home & Garden stamp set (#157910) was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). The compass, lighthouse and sentiment were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104330) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The retiring products here are the Sailing Home stamp set, Smooth Sailing Dies, Bumble Bee card and the Tasteful Labels dies.

New Horizons Designer Series Ppaer

Hi & welcome everyone,

I love how easy it is to make a beautiful scene with the New Horizons Designer Series Paper (#157768). This pack is 6”x6” and has a lovely range of designs.

I matted the DSP with the Basic Black card (#121688) then attached it to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550).

I cut the tree using a Beautiful Trees Die (#155840) from Copper Foil Sheet (#142020). This was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334) which makes it easy to adhere the tree to the card.

I attached Very Vanilla card to a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheets (#152815) before cutting the fence with the Horizon Dies (#157778). The Foam Adhesive sheets are double sided foam sheets which is great to give dimension to the card.

I have used Basic Black card for the birds. The birds sitting in the tree are cut with the Beautiful Trees Dies and the flying birds are cut with the Waves Dies (#158840). The birds in the tree were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the others had Adhesive Sheet attached to the back of the card.

TIP: Sometimes I don't attach a sentiment to the card till I know who I am giving it to, as it may be the wrong sentiment. It’s easy just to add the sentiment later for the appropriate occasion.

New Horizons Designer Series Paper

Hi and welcome stamping friends,

I used the beautiful New Horizons 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#157768) on this card. I made a larger card than normal as I didn't want to lose too much of this beautiful paper. I used the full width of the designer paper and cut 3.5cm off the bottom.

The Basic White base card (#159228) was cut at 16.5cm x 26cm and scored on the long side at 13cm.

I used a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820) to cut the rectangle from the centre of the Designer Paper. I used the next size die to cut the Night Of Navy card (#106577) which I used to matt this. I then attached this with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) onto the DSP covering the cut out area. I had 3 options of what way I would use the DSP at the back. On the card I chose to turn the DSP around which I liked the effect with the colours being reversed.

The next option was to use it the same way as shown below-

And the 3rd option was to use the back of the DSP as shown -

Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) was used to matt the larger piece of designer paper before attaching it to the base card.

The bird from the Soaring Swallows stamp set (#157804) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), and set with the Heat Tool (#128056). The sentiment is from the same stamp set and stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110) and cut with another Stitched Rectangles die. The Gold trim is from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) and the sentiment was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Night Of Navy Rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels (#150457) were added to the card.

New Horizons Designer Series Paper

Hello crafty friends,

I have just received 2 products which I have been looking forward to using - the New Horizons 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#157768) and the Driving By stamp set (#158099), so I have used them together on today’s cards.

The New Horizons DSP has a beautiful range of designs of watercolour “scenes”. I stamped the birds from the On The Horizon stamp set (#157770) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto one of the designs. The sentiment was also stamped with the same ink and cut with the Messages Die (#154422).

I used the Heart & Home 12”x12” DSP (#157928) for the fence which was cut with the Horizon Dies (#157778). There are 2 pieces for this fence and I used both. I attached these to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). 

The car is from the Driving By stamp set (#158099) which is a Sale-a-bration product. This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink then fussy cut. It was coloured with Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (#154830) and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends (#154904). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the car to the card.

The DSP was matted with Basic Black card (#121688), then attached to the Basic White card base (#159228).

TIP: I cut narrow pieces of the Mini Stampin Dimensionals along the edge of the sheet of Dimensionals to attach to the fence. An alternative is to use the Foam Adhesive sheets (#152815). Just attach the DSP to one side of the Foam Adhesive sheet, then cut with the dies as normal and attach to the your project.
