Nautical Anniversary Card

Wanted to share with you this anniversary card that I made with the very versatile paper packet, Tommy, from CTMH.  This stamped sentiment was a part of the Tommy Workshop on the Go stamp set--love it!  I paired it with the anchor patterned paper and a bit of the outdoor denim chevron ribbon.  I learned how to make the tailored bow off of Pinterest--love how classy it looks and how flat it is, for mailing sake!

Another shot next to my beloved patriotic "God Bless" Scentsy warmer! 

Have a creative one, my friend--thanks for stopping by!

Nautical Cards

Back again today with a few more nautical themed cards using the Tommy paper pack from CTMH with no stamping required! 

I used up some paper scraps to cover the cardbases, added a bit of Outdoor denium chevron ribbon (CTMH) and then popped up some shapes from the Tommy canvas complement stickers (on 3D foam tape) to use as my focal point. Easy peasy!

It has been fun to see in what ways I can put these cards to good use.  I have made nautical themed baby cards (for baby boys) and also as "welcome" cards for our Sunday school class visitors, sort of as a "welcome aboard" theme!  I'll be back again tomorrow to show you an anniversary card made with the nautical theme, too!  Until then, have a creative one!

Tommy Picture Frames

Greetings!  Hope your summer is well underway and you are enjoying it!  I have been enjoying a bit of summer with the Tommy paper pack (CTMH)--you can check out my patriotic card projects which use this paper packet here--but for these frames I used the paper for it's nautical theme.  These picture frames will be given to my family when we meet up with everyone at the beach next week!  I love how they are all similiar, yet a bit different, as they use different papers and colors.

 

Each features a rosette with a little bit of interest in the middle from the Tommy assortment or the canvas complement stickers.  Love that little pennant flag!

And a little bit of Outdoor Denim chevron ribbon finishes these two out...LOVE!

Hope you can enjoy some water fun this summer where you are!  Thanks for stopping in!

Let It Shine Card

Hello there!  I have been crafting with the nautical-themed paper pack, Tommy (CTMH), recently and the canvas complements that pair along with it.  I made this card using the fun and trendy chevron ribbon (CTMH) in Outdoor Denim.  I popped up one of the canvas shapes on 3D foam tape for a focal point and sentiment.  This card was mailed out to a dear college friend of mine and sister in Christ who is in full-time ministry.  Hope you have a creative day today--thanks for popping in :)

Pinwheel July 4th Card

Here's another Fourth of July card using CTMH's Tommy paper pack and their matching canvas complement stickers.  Love this nautical-themed paper that can do double-duty, patriotic style!  In addition to the pinwheel canvas stickers, I adhered chipboard stars to the card front, which I had rubbed in Riding Hood Red ink and then covered with glitz glitter gel for a bit of sparkle!  Sentiment stamp is from Michaels (brand unknown).  Hope you have a wonderful holiday!  God Bless America!

July Fourth Cards

Hi there!  Back today to share with you some patriotic goodness in my two favorite forms--handmade stamped cards and Scentsy warmers!  I am in LOVE with Scentsy and their fragrance bars which you warm in their adorable ceramic warmers--this one I HAD to have and has our American flag and states "God Bless America" in script underneath it--perfect for the entire summer, as I like to decorate patriotic style from Memorial Day to Labor Day!  I am also featuring a few July Fourth cards I made using the American Celebration stamp set (CTMH) and the Tommy paper pack (CTMH) stamped with Outdoor Denim (CTMH) and Riding Hood Red ink (SU).  I paper pieced the American flag image and used the honey colored canvas complement stickers for the star accent--and popped it up with 3D foam tape.  Then, I used a little bit of glitz glitter gel for the center of each firework.  Everything is layered ontop of White Daisy card bases (CTMH)--I am super excited to celebrate this year as my hubby has a FOUR day weekend!  Woo hoo!  Hope you have a blast this week celebrating with your family as well!
