And Finally...

This is the last of the May card class projects using The Open Sea stamp set.

I love the porthole on this one, which was so simple to do, and would you believe, it started life as a piece of white card!!!

My original inspiration for this card came from here, which you may have seen before if you are a regular visitor to my blog.

I stamped the image and then used an Aqua painter brush to colour it in.

The next post will be using some brand new products from the brand new catalogue!!

Happy Stampin'

More Open Sea

As promised, here is the second card from the May 'The Open Sea' card class.

I really enjoyed making this one but I did tie myself up in knots a bit when it came to cutting the circles! I have punches, framelits, Bigz dies and Sizzlits with various sizes of circles so I cut them all out and laid them out to work out which ones I wanted to use.

I then wrote on each cut out so that I knew which die to use when it came to putting the card together.

This was a great idea, however, there was quite a long time between creating the card initially, and the actual card class, so yes, you guessed it, I lost the circles of paper with my notes on! 

When it came to the card class, I have to say a big "Thank you" to Nicky who spent ages with me working out which circle was used for which cut out!!  A valuable lesson learnt by me!!

More to follow soon!

The Open Sea...Maiden Voyage...

Here is the first of three cards that we made for May's card class using the great 'The Open Sea' stamp set.

I made two slightly different versions, one using the lovely Crumb Cake Chevron ribbon and one using Linen Thread.  

I also used the anchor stamp to create a background on one card, but left the background plain on the other card - if you look close enough you can just about see the anchors!

Will share the second card with you tomorrow!

This Month's Card Club...

Here are a few pictures of this months card club which was held at my house in Bishops Tawton (North Devon) on Monday.  

We used the nautical stamp set 'The Open Sea', and made a set of three cards that would be suitable for the men in you life!
