The Great Smoky Mountains -- a little inspriation!!

We took our family vacation early this year, actually this trip was rescheduled from December.  East Tennessee and the Smoky Mountains are our favorite place to visit.  It has been 13 years since we were last here.  We have property out here and this will be our final retirement home in about 10 years.  Here are some pictures of  flowers we have seen to inspire your creativity.


Smoky Mountain National Park and New Gatlinburg Skywalk

Flowers found at our resort and in park. 

Bundles inspired by nature:

International Blog Hop - Stamping on a Tile Coaster



Hello crafty friends!! Today's card is not a card, it is a coaster!!  It features the High Tides stamp set and a very encouraging sentiment.  This was so easy to create and I love the message.  I was delighted to find this lovely stamp set carried over to the new catalog.  Now we have two wonderful light house stamps -- just think of all the possibilities. 





How I stamped on the tile coaster:

  • I used a tile from Michael's First, I outlined my coaster onto scratch paper and stamped on paper until I was happy with the layout 
  • Cleaned the tile with soap and water, letting it dry thoroughly
  • Stamped images in Memento Ink, it dried quickly
  • Note: 
    • Since the coaster is unsealed it absorbed the ink, so no need to seal it.  
    • I have washed it twice and it has not changed one bit.

Come Sail Away Suite - Available 4 June

Hello Crafty Friends!!  Only a few days remain before the launch of the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  Today I am sharing a card I made with a kit I pre-ordered.  When I saw this set I feel in love for many reasons, one being the DSP.  The Come Sail Away DSP is full of blue and I love blue.  It is a  nautical theme and my daughter is considering joining the Navy, so I have to be ready to make all kinds of nautical goodies for her.  


Measurements:
Night of Navy card base 5 1/4 x 4 1/4 
(8 1/2 x 5 1/4 folded in half)
Sahara Sand Layer 5 x 4 
DSP Layers 1 7/8 x 3 7/8 and 3 x 3 7/8


Tip: I used the Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack for the "DSP" background.  The Come Sail Away DSP has similar designs.  The rope accent between the two papers is actually a sticker included in the Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack.  The Smooth Sailing Dies includes a rope die as well.

I used sponge daubers to apply Night of Navy and Gray Granite ink to the Light House stamp.  A dauber is a great way to apply multiple colors of ink to a stamp.  

Come Sail Away Product List
  • Note: Products in the Come Sail Away Suite can be purchased as one complete package using item  number 152175.  This is a convenient way to get the complete package with one single entry.  The suite includes the following items: 
    • Sailing Home Bundle
    • High Seas 3D Embossing Folder (not pictured above)
    • Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper
    • Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack
    • Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine
