Nautical

Welcome to my new follower, Lorraine of Rainey's Craft Room.  I hope you can stop by my blog again soon.

I've had a busy few days batch making Christmas cards of this design, so I'm ahead of my target with my Christmas cards for this year. 😇

The Twofer Challenge this month is 'Nautical'.  Two different designs, for two different occasions, using the same stamp, die or stencil.


I am joining in the Twofer Challenge #19 with this pair of cards.


The die I used on both cards was the larger yacht from the Poppystamps 'Marine Sailboats' set of dies.  I used red, pearlised card for the yacht.  The red mat was cut from the same red card and die cut using a Memory Box 'Stitched Square' die.  The dotty paper and the text paper were from Anna Marie Designs.  Three Card Candi finished off my card. 

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:



My second card is a Joy Fold card.  I used the same yacht die for this card and the 'sea' was a die from the same set.  I attached the boat and the sea to blue mottled card, before die cutting with a Memory Box 'Stitched Square' die.  I punched a yellow circle for the sun and added a small Memory Box 'Puffy Cloud' die cut on a couple of foam pads.  The stencilling was done with Distress Inks and the embossing with a Creative Expressions 'Ocean Waves' e/f.  A red brad keeps the card closed.

The photograph shows the card open, revealing the space to write a message.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

  15. Oh Liz, what two amazing Twofer's! I love the sailboat you used on both cards. The first card has such a wonderful design, love the strip of paper going across. Love the fun polka dot paper too, I always think nautical with navy polka dot paper. I love that you made a joy fold card for your twofer, it is so much fun to open the flap to discover what is inside with the message. Such a fun scene you have created, I swear I can feel the ocean breeze blowing on me. lol I love the stenciling you did as well, gives such movement to this card. Well done on your twofers! Hugs, Brenda

  21. Two brilliant cards, Liz! Even though they are both landscape orientation, they are distinctly different nautical designs and both of them are colorful and impeccably made! I love the manly black, white, and red of your birthday card and the happy bright summery colors of your get well card! That is such a cool fold! It's definitely a card that will cheer somebody up! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #19! Hugs, Darnell

  31. Two very different and fun cards for our nautical Twofer, Liz! I can see the birthday greetings in the background of your first and love how it works right into the design. How about that cool fold on your get well card! Love the stenciled waves with the embossed waves and how the sailboat works so great for wishing a speedy recovery. Smooth sailing! Thank you so much for joining us at Twofer!
