Hello! For July's team 3D creative challenge I created these origami sailboats. Thankfully Google search helped me find directions. The larger sailboat was started with a 8.5" x 11" piece of designer series paper whereas the small sailboat started with a 5.5" x 8" piece of designer series paper. I recommend that you use a Bone folder to create crisp folds to make it easier to fold your sailboat.


The inspiration from these sailboats was from a few projects I found on Pinterest.

Supplies
Stamps: None
Colours: Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Mossy Meadow
Accessories: Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper, Tear Tape, Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine, wooden stick

Thank you to everyone that joined us last month for Crop Kingston July's All Day Crop in support of Loving Spoonful here in Kingston. We used the Come Sail Away Memories & More card pack for our Make and Takes this month.

So glad we used this Memories & More card pack this month! I have a whole trip with my mom to PEI in 2013 that needs to be scraped and this pack is perfect for it! Watch for more layouts in the future featuring pictures from this trip and this card pack.

Almost two weeks ago if you caught my Facebook live where I created the Shine Pocket Page you might seeing me using the same supplies to create that pocket page as I've used to create today's card. The leftover pieces were perfect to create a quick card!

Supplies
Stamps: Sailing Home, High Tide
Colours: Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Whisper White
Accessories: Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Linen Thread, Decorative Ribbon Border Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

On Thursday I found more photos from 2004 when my husband went fishing with a friend. I had 2 of these pics into a multi photo pocket page spread already but when I discovered the extra photos I knew it would need its own page.

Welcome to August's Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This month our theme is Trees and Wood. We have many products in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue that fit with this theme. Did you know that you can search using a single word like "trees" in my online store and it will pop up 39 results! Check out the list here: https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/search/trees?dbwsdemoid=2157916


The Birch background stamp set is a great addition to so many stamp sets! I've paired it with the Waterfront stamp set. For the main image I stamped each image about 2 times. The stamped off image is great to add dimension.

The main image is die cut using the Stitched Nested dies. I used the largest die and to get the stitched frame around the white I used the stitched edge on the white and trimmed it down to allow for the Basic Gray edge!

Supplies
Stamps: Birch Background, Waterfront
Colours: Basic Gray, Smokey Slate, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock
Accessories: Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Ribbon, Stitched Nested dies, Well Written dies, Subtle embossing folder

Thank you for stopping by!
