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!

Happy Stampin'

More Painted Petals...

Here is another of the cards that we made as part of the monthly Jems training using the Painted Petals stamp set.  This stamp set will not be available after June 2nd (sob!!), so contact me as soon as you can if you want to find out how to order a set.  Alternatively, you can go straight to my online shop and order from there!

The Soft Sky thick bakers twine is also finishing on 2nd June, so you could grab that at the same time!

These are a photopolymer stamp set so you can see exactly where you are stamping, which enables you to create some beautiful patterns, and background papers.

I love stamp sets like this as you can really get your moneys worth from them.  There are two more cards to see so keep following!!

Happy Stampin'
