Sail Away with Me

Hi, everyone! I've been on a roll this week using the Ahoy Me Hearty stamp set from Paper Smooches. Here's a nautical-themed card for someone special.


I blended on cracked pistachio, peacock feather, and chipped sapphire distress inks after heat embossing the ship from the stamp set in liquid platinum.




Then, using the Taylored Expressions Ray of Sunshine cutting plate, I die cut 4 layers and secured them together with glossy accents to give the card dimension. Using multiple layers instead of foam tape gives the die cut much more stability.

For the inside sentiment, I used multiple stamps from the Simon Says Stamp Sailing set.



Thanks for stopping by!!

  1. What a stunning card. I love the colours you've chosen for the background, so impactful, and the way the die frames it all - absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing at Less is More! By the way, because we're a CAS (clean and simple) challenge blog, we need to see a little empty space on cards to meet our guidelines, just for future reference :) x

  4. I love these colours, my absolute favourites. Don't forget, at Less is More we prefer to see more white space left on our participants' entries. A fabulously effective card though.
    Thanks for sharing with us.
