The alternates I have for you today that focus on the Come Sail Away Suite coordination p. 144–145 (view HERE)
Sailor Card
If you are a following of mine, you know that I like to use the coordinated printed patterned envelopes that are sometimes included with the kits. I noticed the "flap" resembled a "sailor's uniform". I thought, "how fun would it be to stamp the greeting on the white "V" shape".
How'd She DO That? Sailor Card
- Trim printed patterned envelope to 3-15/16" x 5-3/16"
- Trim "flap" to same width, 3-15/16". Stamp greeting in the white "V" area. Let dry (so it doesn't smudge).
- Adhere stamped flap to previous panel. Then adhere to 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" panel of Night of Navy.
- Adhere ship wheel with circle adhesive from kit. Attach Sail Away Trinket with a silver metallic brad (through center of the ship wheel). I used the Take Your Pick to make a small hole.
- Adhere completed panel to folded 4-1/4" x 11" Thick Whisper White card base.
I was giddy with the results! What do you think?
Sailboat Card
For this card, I used the rest of the pieces from the originally designed kit card. This was a really quick card to make.
How'd She DO That? Sailboat Card
- Flip over the green circle and stamp birds with Balmy Blue ink (from the Sailing Home stamp set). Adhere to folded 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Night of Navy card base.
- Trim off a 1/2" x 5-1/2 strip from the Sahara Sand card base (from the kit), adhere to card. Adhere light blue strip (from kit).
- Fold 10" of Night Of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine into thirds. Adhere behind sailboat die cut, and adhere to card with dimensionals.
- Stamp greeting on label with Night of Navy ink. Adhere with dimensionals.
What I liked about these two cards is...I was able to make 2 cards from the materials for 1 card from the kit. That doubles the number of cards - yay!
