Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Favourite Designer Series Paper

Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer (The Crafty Thinker) from Australia.

Our theme this month is our favourite Designer Series Paper (DSP) and I had a really hard time choosing!  

I love the Perennial Essence papers but also the Noble Peacock.  So I sort of combined the two by using the Perennial Essence and the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets!

The perennial Essence papers are so beautiful, very little else is required to create a gorgeous card!

Thank you for visiting.  I hope you enjoyed this card.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer - please see the list below and click on the next person on the list to hop through all of the people to all of our projects.  You don't want to miss any!

Sailing Home Suite: A Masculine Card

This masculine card was really quick and easy to make using the Sailing Home Bundle.

A quick and easy masculine card using the Sailing Home Bundle

The base card is Night of Navy to which I added a layer of white followed by a piece of the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper which forms part of the Come Sail Away Suite.

I then cut some small pieces of the paper from leftovers and layered them onto white card before arranging on the card front.

For the rope on the anchor, I pulled out three threads from a length of Burlap Ribbon and plaited them.

I added a white circle, cut with one of the Stitched Shapes die, to the banner and label to add some balance.

I really love the detail in those Smooth Sailing Dies - just take a close look at the banner and the piece of rope!

Thank you for visiting.

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Masculine Card Sketch - Sailing Home Bundle

Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer (The Crafty Thinker) from Australia.

The sketch  for the SDBH Blog Hop

Our theme this month is to create a masculine project using the sketch provided (why don't you have a go too?).  I liked it so much that I made a feminine version that I'll share will you tomorrow.

A masculine card featuring a yacht and vegetation from the Sailing Home Bundle

My base card is Mossy Meadow with a layer of Whisper White followed by my card front, made from Come Sale Away Designer Series Paper cut diagonally and attached to Old Olive card stock.  I realised after I'd finished the card and taken the photo that the Old Olive wasn't the best choice, as it doesn't show up very well against the designer paper - but it was too late by then!

To the card front, I added swirls of both of the ribbons included in the Magnolia Lane Ribbon pack and sea foliage cut from both Old Olive and Mossy Meadow card using the Smooth Sailing Dies that form part of the Sailing Home Bundle (remember, buying the bundle gives a saving of 10%).

I cut the largest label from Mossy Meadow card using one of the dies in the Wild Rose die set.  To that I added the smaller label cut from Come Sail Away paper with one of the Smooth Sailing Dies.

I stamped the yacht with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured it with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers before cutting it out with the coordinating die from the Smooth Sailing dies.

Last, but certainly not least for this bling-lover, I added some of the Noble Peacock Rhinestones.

Sailing Home Bundle: A Lighthouse and Two Yachts

This is a birthday card for my wonderful husband who I love to bits!  He really is my true north as well as my anchor in life.  He's always supportive and always there for me.  Right now he's supporting me through cancer diagnosis and treatment and I don't know how I would cope without his positivity and love.

It's just a shame that he gets seasick and doesn't like sailing!

A masculine birthday card featuring elements from the Sailing Home Bundle and Lakeside die set

The base card is one of the new In-Colours called Seaside Spray.  On top of the white layer there is a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock cut out with one of the Stitched Rectangle dies.  This was a leftover piece that was knocking around on my table.

I added some more Seaside Spray cut out with one of the dies in the Lakeside die set.  All the other nautical elements are from the Sailing Home Bundle.  The yachts were stamped with Stazon onto Seaside Spray cardstock and then coloured with Real Red and Whisper White Craft Ink.  The lighthouse and compass were stamped onto white card.

I stamped the birds with Whisper White Craft ink and the used a very small brush and some more of the white ink to add touches of highlight.

I cut the greeting out with dies in the Lakeside set using this method to extend the length a little.  I also used my guillotine to trim a tiny little bit from the top and bottom of the Blueberry Bushel label.

Thank you for visiting.
