Since I moved to North Carolina, I found a great group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators to have the great privilege to hang out with twice a year where about 150 or so demonstrators from across North Carolina meet, craft & network. For the September meeting, they were looking for volunteers to make display boards for the event. At the time, I was heavily crafting with the Sailing Home Stamp Set since it was new to the catalog AND it coordinated with the July Paper Pumpkin "On My Mind". So I signed up to make 6 cards for the display board showcasing the stamps with a fall/winter theme. Here is the first card I made in the collection.

This card was sparked from a #simplestamping card I made. I started by adding a background layer of Pretty Peacock and a strip of Soft Suede embossed with the Corrugated Embossing Folder. The colors on the card are Pretty Peacock, Night of Navy and Soft Suede. The net and seaweed is from Sea of Textures and the sentiment is from Seaside Notions. For the net, I only stamped around the edges of the net so the center stayed white to highlight the anchor.
I was trying to find something to spruce up the background and I already added an embossing folder layer and I did not want to stamp the seaweed a million times, so I thought it would be cool if I die cut the seaweed from Smooth Sailing Dies but left the pieces in tact. I cut the background in half to make this a little easier, then added 3 strips of Tear & Tape along the backside to hold all of the piece in place, then ran them through my die cut machine. It turned out really cool! The tape did cut in a few places and was a little tricky to get off, but it worked! I added some Silver Glimmer Paper, a bow made from Silver and White Baker's Twine and Silver Sequins. I love it!
