The Mayflower

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie hosting the blog today from Debbie's Time Out. Today I will share with you a guy card. I will be featuring one of Cheery Lynn Designs older dies called the Mayflower. This die is perfect for men's or even boy cards.

I started this card with three layers of cardstock for the base. I layered the Burlap Border across the center at a angle. This border is one of my favorite dies on men's cards. The Mayflower I cut in two different colors and inked them up. I just love the detail in this ship.

Here I layered the Sand dollar & Starfish as well as the Ship's Compass. The Thank You was layered on the top corner.

I thank You for visiting the blog today and hope I have inspired you to do a few men's cards. The men do really appreciate homemade card too.

Have a wonderful craft day my friends.

By The Sea by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 2 Comments

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out. Today I am going with a sea theme.

I was digging through my stash and found this 6x6 paper in a sea theme. Then I started thinking of the Seahorse Family 3 die set I had bought awhile back and never used yet. I was thinking they would be perfect to ink them to match this paper. I love how they turned out.

For this bigger sea horse I inked some with white paper in a few colors to match the background paper. I then cut the sea horse from white and layered it onto the paper I just inked. I fussy cut around it and then inked the edges. He turned out very kool. I layered the Ship's Compass to the top left corner after inking it up.

The smaller sea horse is inked up in a few colors and then also inked around the edges. I layer the Sand dollar & Starfish to the bottom corner after inking them up. Even though I have been designing for Cheery Lynn Designs for quite awhile now their die still amaze me with all the detail that they have and in turn it makes them so easy to work with and to ink a little and make them look awesome.

Thanks for visiting the blog today and for all the nice comments you leave. I always enjoy reading them. Have a crafty day my friends.

Nautical Tag by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hello! Jenny here with you today with my take on this week's Doilies Challenge. I love this Nautical Doily. It's always a show stopper on cards. I decided to go with a nautical theme and my tag evolved from there.

I began by cutting an oval from the Oval Classic Silver Stackers. I sponged distress ink on the background and left the die cut in the die so I'd get a white edge. I then distressed the outer edge with some brown distress ink.

I cut the Sand Dollars and Starfish and colored them with distress ink as well. It's difficult to see but the Ships Anchor was actually covered in silver embossing powder and is metallic. The Ship's Compass (one of my favorite dies) is so detailed. It didn't need much to embellish it but I again colored it with distress ink.

To top everything off I used a seahorse left over from another project. It's one of the three dies in the Seahorse Family. Like the sand dollars and starfish he was originally cut with kraft card stock but was colored with blue, green and brown distress inks. To finish I cut a hole with a hole punch and tied twine to the top.

Amazing Card by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a new card. I love shaped cards but don't often make them. I thought I'd give it a try, and the round shape nicely complimented the hot air balloon.

The bottom layer is the largest from the Circle Scalloped die set topped by the largest Circle Classic Silver Stackers and then another scalloped circle was added to that cut from design paper. The two large bottom layers were colored with distress inks.

I cut the Hot Air Balloons, backed it with the matching angel wing and colored both with distress inks. The Ships Compass, and Barbed Wire were also colored with distress ink as was the Pierced Banner. I used foam tape to pop up the banner, balloon and compass dies and for added bling added flat-backed rhinestones to the compass and balloon.

I cut the Fleur de Lis and used a frantage silver embossing powder on it for an aged look before gluing to the banner.

Life's Storms With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, It's Lisa here this week sharing a manly card inspired by this week's challenge with Cheery Lynn Designs. I really dont make many man cards...but this week's challenge was a great inspiration to make some manly cards that I could really use in my stash!

I have been thinking about a theme for quite some time... I LOVE nautical cards....Perfect!

The Mayflower is amazing! As well as the Pierced Banner and the Ship's Compass. I distressed the compass in blue distressed ink on the edges and in the center. I also added some copper brads on all the corners and one in the center of the compass. The copper colored brads match the sentiment perfectly.

I also wanted to add a bit of yarn and my son made me this cute little sailor knot. (Thank you Scotty) The incredible ship and Compass really makes this card! I also wanted to add a bit more of the yarn throughout the card too. Behind the ship you can see a little bit of burlap.
