Sail Away with TPD Stamps

It's time for the new release at Two Paper Divas.   I'm featuring another one of the brand spankin' new stamp sets, "Sail Away".  Oh my goodness, I am in LOVE with this set!  It's super versatile and has so many amazing sentiments, perfect for just about any occasion; celebrations, missing you, encouragement and love and friendship which is the theme I'm going with today.  You Float My Boat.  Isn't it great? 

Plus, be sure and scroll down for details on the new sketch challenge that started this week .  Someone will win a fabulous prize!

Let me touch on some of the highlights of this card.  The image itself was stamped, then watercolored with my Tombow dual brush pens.  The easiest way to achieve this is swipe your ink or marker on an acrylic block then use a waterbrush pen or paintbrush dipped in water.  You can also spritz water onto your ink to dilute the color for varying shades.

The papers that I'm using today are from the DCWV "Hey Sailor" collection.  I love the knotted rope backdrop for my sailboat.  It's just perfect!  Also, I broke in my brand new stitched circle dies from La La Land.  For added interest, I trimmed the edge of one side to line up evenly with my paper's edge.  Doilies, string and sequins round out this fun, nautical project.

"Sail Away"

New Release at So Suzy Stamps SAMClub + Flat Shaker Card

 It's time for the So Suzy Stamps May Release for the Stamp of the Month Club!  To kick things off this month, I thought it would be fun to create a flat shaker card with a "porthole".  I have a fabulous circle die from Pinkfresh Studio that fit the bill perfectly, along with my WRMK Fuse.  And, I love the stamp this month.  Isn't it amazing?

To start, I inked my image with TH Brushed Corduroy distress ink and distressed my Authentique papers from the Anchored Collection with my TH distress tool.  I heat embossed my sentiment on vellum with white pigment ink and clear embossing powder, than swiped a brown Tombow marker across each embossed line.  You can grab that sentiment in Suzy's store, here.





Now it's time to FUSE!  Just line up your ruler as close to the edge of your cardstock as you can.  Don't forget to toss your sequins in before you fuse your last side. 

When you're all done..... shake, shake, shake!  It's fun to do and fun to give to your friends and family.  Kids of all ages love shaker cards.  This can even be displayed on a little wooden easel.  It's the perfect card for the traveler, adventurer or lover of all things nautical.  The sentiment that I used turns this into an encouragement card, as well.  Have fun with the new Stamp of the Month! 

I hope you enjoyed my project and handy tips.  Check out Suzy's website and do some shopping while you're at it.   Then take a look at the SAM club.  Exclusive membership gets you special stamps each month, plus membership into a private Facebook group, fun giveaways and more! 

The next quarter starts this month so there's still time for you to sign up.  You can choose a 3 month membership or longer if you'd like.  Membership packages are available to USA, Canada and drum roll..... International!  I've already had a sneak peek at future releases and they are soooo fun!  You won't be disappointed!  If you love coastal, beachy, nautical fun..... sign up!  Membership can sell out quick so don't wait.

New Release at So Suzy Stamps SAMClub

 It's time for the So Suzy Stamps April Release for the Stamp of the Month Club!  I love this month's stamp - it's an entire scene which is nothing but FUN to color.  Ya'll know I love to watercolor, so I pulled out my So Suzy Stamps Ink Bites, using the Coastal Breeze ink colors.

The only other ink color I used was for the sentiment and I ran my black Tombow Marker across the wording.  To give this scene a softer look, I stamped the entire image (not including the sentiment) in the Egyptian Sand color from the Coastal Breeze Ink Bites.  Then I colored in my scene, using my ink, stamped onto an acrylic block, then spritzed with water.  I add more ink or less water to enhance the colors.  I also added some Stickles glitter glue to my palm tree leaves and one side of the setting sun.  Suzy also carries those in her shop as well. 

To make the fringe on the sides, you can use burlap string but I used a trimmed piece of May Arts Ribbon open weave burlap ribbon.  It's quicker and easier than cutting a bunch of string.  I used some glue lines from Thermoweb to adhere to my Graphic 45 cardstock, to finish.

 

 I hope you enjoyed my project and handy tips.  Check out Suzy's website and maybe do some shopping while you're at it.   Then take a look at the SAM club.  Exclusive membership gets you special stamps each month, plus membership into a private Facebook group, fun giveaways and more!

So Suzy Stamps February SAM Club Release

 It's time for the So Suzy Stamps Stamp of the Month club February release! 

Coastal is the theme for the monthly collection throughout the year, but in addition, Suzy has added this wonderful vintage stamp called "Sailor's Desk".  Isn't it fabulous?  I love anything vintage so I couldn't wait to ink it up.

As luck would have it, this stamp paired perfectly with my papers of choice, Graphic 45's Come Away With Me collection.  You can grab that in Suzy's shop as well.  I used my TH Distress Ink in Brushed Corduroy to ink up my stamp, and fussy cut some images from the paper collection to pop out on this display piece.  Lots of May Arts Ribbon and DoubleClick Skittles as well, also found in Suzy's shop.  She carries a TON of supplies for one-stop shopping.  Isn't that awesome?

 

So check out the blog and maybe do some shopping while you're at it.   Then take a look at the SAM club.  Exclusive membership gets you special stamps each month, plus membership into a private Facebook group, fun giveaways and more!
