Sailing Home Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! [Sneak Peek]

  • Sailing Home Stamp
  • Smooth Sailing Dies - part of the Sailing Home Bundle
  • Join us to make Spring Greeting Cards - Class May 19, 2019

Sneak Peek of Sailing Home Stamp Set

I made a couple of versions of today's card using Sailing Home Stamp Set, part of the Sailing Home Bundle, coming in the June 4 new annual Stampin' Up! catalog. The Smooth Sailing Dies in this bundle include so many fun elements.  Today, I used an element that looks like rope to accent the top and bottoms of my card.  The Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper -- part of the Come Sail Away Suite -- includes  wonderful, nautical-themed papers to help you create many different looks with this new suite.  This is great for masculine graduation cards or for the graduate to send as thank-you cards.
.     




The basecard for today's card is Thick Whisper White.  Then I used one of the prints from the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper.  Then, using the Stitched Nested Label Dies, I cut a shape out of one of the new In Colors, Seaside Spray, to use as my image layer.

The images on the Seaside Spray were stamped in Versamark and covered with White Embossing Powder and heat embossed with my embossing tool. The rope die cuts, the Helm and the sentiment label are all cut using the Smooth Sailing Dies. I love the dimensions in these die cuts!




The sentiments are also from the Sailing Home Stamp Set, and are stamped with the new Seaside spray ink pad. The Helm die cut is popped up on Mini Dimensionals cut in half.               



This is such a fast, easy card using this new Sailing Home bundle. Be sure to add it to your Shopping list when ordering from the new annual Stampin' Up! catalog ordering begins on June 4.

A Very Special May Paper Pumpkin Kit




I've been talking about the special May 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit designed by Shelli garner, Stampin' Up!'s founder for several weeks.  Today, is the last day you can order this kit.  This kit is a touch of  Earthy Spring with lots of textures and layers.  Place your order before today ends!  

Plus, if you haven't purchased a Mother's Day gift yet, this is the perfect gift for you to order for yourself and you mom, and your mother-in-law, and your grandmother...and then get together with them all and put your kits together!  What a great way to spend quality time.  Just make a card with a note that the gift will be here at the end of the month and an invitation to get together for a craft afternoon! 




Above is a sample card and envelope of one of the multiple card styles from the upcoming kit, which we made at Onstage as one of our Make and Takes.  I love coming home from On Stage with samples of new products. 

This kit is packaged in a very special box.  You're sure to find a use for it once you've finished making all your pretty cards.
