M asculine card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Balmy Blue Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1" x 3-1/4" from Balmy Blue Cardstock
Make sure you have a piece of Grid Paper on your work surface to protect it. Mount the compass image from the Sailing Home Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Balmy Blue Ink Pad and stamp it randomly all over the right half of the card front. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Rotate the position of the stamp every so often. Let some of the images go off the upper, lower, and right sides of the card front.
Pick out the dark and light blue striped small card from the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack. Adhere it to the front of the card so it is centered over the left side and the stripes are horizontal on the horizontal card.
Mount the single line sentiment of choice from the Itty Bitty Greetings Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the thin strip of Balmy Blue, but leave room to punch it out.
Unlock the Classic Label Punch. Hold it upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the punching area slightly to the left of center. Punch.
Adhere the sentiment punch out to the front of the card so it overlaps the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card on the right side just below the half way point.
Mount the large sailboat image from the Sailing Home Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" rectangle of Whisper White.
Pick out the large sailboat die from the Smooth Sailing Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sailboat on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the boat is centered in the die. Run through the tool.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the large sailboat cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the right end of the sentiment punch out.
Mount the small sailboat image from the Sailing Home Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" rectangle of Whisper White.
Pick out the small sailboat die from the Smooth Sailing Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sailboat on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the boat is centered in the die. Run through the tool.
Adhere the small sailboat cut out to the front of the card so it is slightly above and to the right of the large sailboat cut out.
Pick out an anchor trinket from the Sail Away Trinkets.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine.
Tie the twine to the hole in the top of the anchor trinket. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the anchor trinket to the front of the card at a slight angle so it is tucked under the left bottom edge of the large sailboat cut out with the ends of the twine sticking out to the left just below the sentiment punch out.
