Nautical Adventures

Hello, dear friends! I am fluttering back into this crafty community (consistently!) for good, which I have missed so dearly while balancing health situations. I am delighted that Crafter's Companion is keeping me on for another term and blogging will be a larger part of it this time!

I am celebrating with Sara's newest Signature Collection: Nautical!

This fun collection was on HSN last week! For my first card, I drew and cut sailboat layers the best I could as I have such an affinity for shaped cards of this sort! I used an abundance of goodies from the collection, which I will list below. The papers are beautiful, as are the stamps and dies. The charms are amongst my favorites. Truly this collection is a stunner.

For my second card, I showcased one of the beautiful embossing folders. After embossing the Ship's Anchor with watercolor paper, I inked around the anchor with Harmony Ink Pads in Aqua Blues, after which I added a few splashes of water. To highlight the anchor, I inked over it with Precious Metals Midas Ink Pads. To keep the spotlight on the folder, I simply used the lovely coordinating twine to secure my sentiment.

I had a blast creating with this collection and will certainly be playing with it again soon, as there are so many inspiration goodies in the set! It makes me excited for summer adventures. :) Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day!

Sweet Inspirations

Hello, sweet friends! I'm fluttering in to share a few of my favorite samples from the Crafter's Companion shows on HSN yesterday. It is pure joy designing for them and I'm certain you will love their new goodies as much as I do.♥️

Two sets of Silhouette Animal Dies are part of the release, which I adore! (Be still my animal-loving heart!) I created a tent fold for the precious kitty, adorned with goodies from the Peony Collection. 

The sweet Silhouette Puppy, cut out in the loveliest metallic cardstock, is celebrating in the same Peony collections. Pretty Vintage Lace and a sweet banner add to the festivities. The sentiment is from the Mix and Match Birthday collection.

I couldn't resist creating a Christmas card with the Silhouette Stag. The papers and sentiment are from the signature Winter Wonderland range, one of my festive favorites.

Also part of this launch is a new collection of 3D embossing folders. Truly there are no words to express how much I treasure Sara's embossing folders! My background embossed design is the new Ornate Flourish, while my sentiment is from Set 3 of the new Sentiment embossing folders. Both were inked up with CC's spectacular Metallic Waxes. They are creamy, dreamy, and completely inspiring. 

My layering throughout my cards is once again with luxury cardstock. I better order more soon because I cannot imagine being without. ;)

Thank you for visiting and I will you a beautiful day.♥️
