Dream Big with Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny here today sharing a nautical card. I hope you had an opportunity to join in our June New Release Blog Hop. I had so much fun creating with the new dies and thank you for all the sweet comments on my blog!

If you follow my posts you know I love using dies to add dimension to projects. It was so easy to add height to this card by stacking the waves. Typically I add double sided foam tape between layers, but for this card I just didn't glue down the wave tops to the card stock.

The tops of the Waves were sprinkled with Frantage embossing powder for a foamy look. The Sail Boat was cut out of dark gray paper and then I cut a second boat bottom out of metallic silver. The bottom of the boat was also backed with the darker gray paper for contrast where the detail holes show. I cut an aqua green sail for the large sail and covered it in glitter glue and then in a clear glaze. It really stands out on the card. Dream Big and the Clouds were also accented with clear glitter glue.

Strong Anchor With Lisa Blastick

Hello everyone!

It's Lisa here today sharing another shaker card for Cheery Lynn Designs!

I really Love shaker cards and even though it takes a few extra steps...I find they are fun to make and recipients love them too!

I have been in a nautical mode for most of the summer...still thinking about the beach! This week's challenge is "In Stitches". I don't know how to sew with a sewing machine but I can make faux stitches. I used a black archival marker and with a template made black stitches all the way around the edges, on the shaker piece and on the waves of sand . For the shaker card I used the two largest A2 Frames Rectangle. Then cut it again with white foam. I used the largest rectangle in light blue and again with acetate to create the window for the beads.

I cut out the two Lighthouses in medium blue, one set of the Clouds and one set of the Birds from Bird Bath. I added a little light blue distressing ink to the birds. I diecut Ships Anchor in light blue and colored the chain with a black copic. I placed light blue and clear beads in the center of the shaker and placed the anchor on the top bottom corner. The stamp is on the outside acetate using staz-on black ink.

Here you can see all the little beads throughout!

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.

Cheery Lynn Diecuts Used:

DL303 Pierced Banners (Set of 3)

B276 Mayflower

B395 Ship's Compass
