Rubbernecker – Stormy Weather

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card showcasing the Fishing Boat die at Rubbernecker.

I have been sharing a lot of nautical cards of late. For this one, I wanted to use a different sentiment than “Ahoy” (or similar). My idea for the different sentiment came about after I inked clouds in the sky with the MFT Cloud Stencil. The sky indicated a storm was moving in. If I found myself in rough sea, I’d certainly prefer to be in a fishing boat rather than a sailboat! Of course, the Fishing Boat can be used for a nautical card with an “Ahoy” sentiment.
I created the sentiment on my computer and cut it with the Rubbernecker Deckle Frame die. I did something similar on this card.
I used the Lawn Fawn Ocean Wave Borders to cut the waves from two shades of blue cardstock.

Only A Shower – CAS Die-cut Encouragement Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS encouragement card combining die-cuts and a Distress Oxide ink background. Appropriately, it began to rain just as I finished this card!

I created the background with Distress Oxide Pumice Stone and Tumbled Glass inks. I added a little Broken China at the top of the blue and a little Hickory Smoke at the bottom of the gray. I cut the panel with a square die.
With a now-retired Memory Box Umbrella die (one of the very first dies I ever purchased), I cut the umbrellas from cardstock colored with Hickory Smoke (umbrella shafts), Peacock Feathers and Squeezed Lemonade (umbrella canopies), and Black Soot (handles and end). I pieced the umbrellas together by performing some fussy cutting (the die is one-piece).
I cut the Happy Clouds from white cardstock and backed them with cardstock colored with Black Soot.
I applied Moonstone Glimmer paste through the MFT Raindrops stencil (retired) in select places. The SSS Raindrops stencil has similarly-sized raindrops.
I heat-embossed the You Got This sentiment on black cardstock and cut it with one of the Lawn Fawn banner dies.
I dry-embossed the card base with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from Stampin Up’ (retired).

Thanks for visiting!

Keep Shining Bright – CAS Encouragement Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS encouragement/friendship card in which I have combined a die-cut, a stencil, and a heat-embossed sentiment. I really like the versatility of this sentiment and its message. I am finishing out the week with another card featuring primary colors. What’s up with that?!

- To begin, I applied Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink through the Radiating Rays stencil. I trimmed the stenciled panel to 4″ x 5 1/4″.
- I heat-embossed the Seeing Stars sentiment (now retired) on SU Real Red cardstock. I cut the sentiment with the MFT Horizontal Hearts in a Row banner die (now retired).
- I die-cut the lantern with a die in the Camping set (now retired) from SU Smoky Slate cardstock. I added a small die-cut circle, cut from cardstock to which I had applied Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink, as the light. I have a thing for these types of lanterns. They symbolize warmth and safety to me.
- I cut a circle from SU Blueberry Bushel cardstock as a mat for the sentiment and the lantern. Both the sentiment and the lantern were added to the circle with foam adhesive.
- I added the panel to a linen-card base. I’ve been using Bazzill 12″ x 12″ cardstock with a linen finish a lot lately because I just happened to have several pieces near my rotary cutter.
