#simplestamping with Sailing Home
This month's Stampin' Up #simplestamping challenge is Birthdays! I always always needing birthday cards since I send out a ton of birthday cards every month! Here is a #simplestampnig card I made for the challenge as well as the #casualstamper and #avidstamper versions.
~Enjoy!

I wanted to create more #simplestamping cards and when I was stamping the envelopes for another card I made, I noticed how pretty it was and thought it would be a great #simplestamping card! I cut down the card front to a 3 x 4.25 Whisper White piece and stamped Anchor from Sailing Home in Soft Suede. I inked up the net from Sea of Textures in Coastal Cabana but only inking around the edges so the center stayed white to add a little highlight to the anchor. The Seaweed is stamped in night of Navy, Pretty Peacock and Soft Suede. The sentiment is stamped with Seaside Notions and Pretty Peacock.
For the #casualtstamper I added a background layer of Pretty Peacock and a strip of Soft Suede embossed with the Corrugated Embossing Folder. A little finishing touch is a bow made from the Braided Linen Trim.
The #avidstamper might like this one a lot because it introduces a new technique (well new to me since I just thought it up - but there have been many who have come before me). 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!
Here is a closeup of the "embossed" seaweed and I added a little sparkle with the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Digital Retreat August #1 - On My Mind Paper Pumpkin
Tracy and I had a retreat day today & one of the items I gathered as inspiration was from The Creative Cat Crew & Creative Bugs group I left in Washington.I love the simplicity of the design & the large accent item. Tracy & I decided to replicate this layout with anything other than a flower.
~Enjoy!
~Enjoy!
We decided on the Sailing Home suite of items and this month's Paper Pumpkin On My Mind. We also substituted the background for a card from the Come Sail Away Memories & More pack. I sponged the edges of the card with a little Night of Navy to give it a little more character. The color pallette we chose was Night of Navy, Basic Gray and Whisper White. While Tracy used the stamps from Sailing Home for her focal point, I used the large sailboat from the Paper Pumpkin kit. My envelope is stamped with the boat & birds from Sailing Home and the water from Hide Tide. The sentiment is from Seaside Notions. Don't forget to check out Tracy's card over at Stuff n Thingz!

On My Mind Paper Pumpkin Alternative Shaker Sailboat
This July 2019 On My Mind Paper Pumpkin alternative version I CASE-d from Tracy! She made a cute little shaker card from the ship wheel!
~Enjoy!
~Enjoy!
I stamped the provided cardstock with Crumb Cake and the compass from the kit and it is layered on a Whisper White card base & topped with a piece of DSP from the envelope liner. The shaker contains some random seed beads I had in my stash. The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy & I tapped the banner from the Smooth Sailing Dies in my Soft Suede ink pad before running it through my embossing machine to give the embossed details a little more drama. I wrapped a full piece of Linen Thread around the card spine & finished it off with a bow with long curly tails. The envelope uses additional elements from the Sea of Textures Stamp Set.

On My Mind Paper Pumpkin Alternative Peacock Sailboat
I really loved the July 2019 On My Mind Paper Pumpkin. I did CASE a few cards and also come up some alternatives. Here is one of the originals.
~Enjoy!
~Enjoy!
The background uses one of the envelope liners, and there is a similar color/pattern in the Woven Heirlooms DSP paper pack. The Sailboat is stamped on Whisper White with Memento Black and the Sailing Home Stamp Set. I then stamped an additional boat & colored the sails with Coastal Cabana and Soft Sky and then fussy cut them and layered them on the background boat with dimensionals. The bottom of the boat is colored with Light Pretty Peacock. I sponged the edges of the focal point with Bermuda Bay and layered it with some retired Myths and Magic Bermuda Bay Glimmer Paper as well as the little sand dollar, which is cut from Under the Seas Dies. All other items are cut with the Smooth Sailing Dies. The sentiment is stamped with the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set and Pretty Peacock and cut with a die from Lakeside Dies. The envelope uses additional elements from the Sea of Textures Stamp Set.
