Enjoy Life's Journey

I have been going through some of my older stash and decided to have a play with the Sara Davies Nautical Signature Collection from Crafter's Companion.

For this card I have used several of the papers along with some of the dies and stamps, I inked the edges of everything and used foam pads to layer up some of the elements.

It is a long time since I made a twisted easel card so I thought I would make one for a change.  I decided to create a Porthole with a little scene inside.  I used several of the stamps and dies along with some Kraft cardstock from my stash.

I decided on a rustic look for this card, I distressed the edges of the papers and cardstock as well as inking the edges.

This time I created a Tri-fold Shutter Card, I used several of the papers along with some of the dies and stamps.

This is another view of the card showing the inside of the steps

This is the final card that I have created with my 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Shore collection, for a while anyway!

I have used two of the papers, the fishtail flag that I have used as the image is cut from the reverse of the papers that are in the background.  Everything is from the collection except the string that I used to tie the bow.

This is the third card that I have created with my 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Shore collection.

I have only used one of the papers this time, the wood-grain is from the Craft Consortium Wood Textures paper pad and I've been doing some more tearing.  All of the other elements are from the die cut sheets, including the fishing net and the seaweed.

Shore

I have just discovered another great company - 49 and Market, I know I'm late to the party, they are currently celebrating their fifth Anniversary but they are new to me. They have the most beautiful collections, the 12 x 12 Mini Collection Packs are quite small, containing four sheets of double sided patterned card stock and two sheets of die cut toppers - I like that they are quite small, it means that I manage to use them all up.

The first collection that I have purchased is called Vintage Artistry Shore, as you can see has a nautical theme.  I have created a simple card using two of the papers and three of the die cut elements.  The little border strips are waste, they are the reverse of the strips that contain the company information from the bottom of the card stock sheets - it is card stock rather than patterned paper.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Nautical Birthday

I have created this card for a family friend's birthday, he used to work in the yacht building industry so I thought this image would be perfect.

I used the Stamperia Sea Land paper collection, this is a gorgeous vintage nautical themed set.  I used several of the papers and fussy cut some bits and pieces from the front cover.  The sentiment is from The DigiStamp Boutique and I have inked the edges of everything.

I used one of the papers and fussy cut the notebook pieces to decorate the inside of the card.

Be the Sailboat

We have lots of birthdays in our family over the next couple of months so I am trying to get ahead with my birthday cards.  I created this card for my Brother-in-Law, it is his birthday next month, I know he doesn't look at my blog so I'm quite safe.

I used a kit from Paper Creator's Crafts called Sailboat, the kit is designed to create a 6 x 6" card but I decided to create a side step card.

The image is decoupaged and I computer generated the sentiment - the anchor is a Joy Crafts die.
