"SAILING HOME" NAUTICAL EASEL CARD
You know how sometimes you see something that inspires you, and it just doesn't need any changes? That happened to me when I needed to make a thank you card but was a little short on time . . . and not feeling very creative. I knew that I wanted to make something nautical, and a photo of a gorgeous card shared by Marja van Renswoude's was just the inspiration that I needed.
It's a pretty awesome design, huh? I knew that aunt Betty would love this card--and it was one that I was proud to put in the mail to her. Circle dies were used to create the card and layers, and I used images from Stampin' Up!'s "Sailing Home" (retired) stamp set to decorate the card.
And what do we always want from a card like this? We want it to fold flat for mailing--and this one did!
It's impossible to tell from the photos, but I used a Wink of Stella glitter brush to add a little glimmer to the water.
That's all for today! Thanks for visiting . . . have a stampin' good day!

"WISTERIA WISHES"
While scrolling through photos on my phone, I found a few projects that I haven't shared here on the blog. Featured today is Stampin' Up!'s "Wisteria Wishes" stamp set and coordinating "Wisteria" dies. I recently made these cards to send to the elder ladies . . . you know . . . the ones who actually keep every card that I send. I love that they consider mail from me to be that special, and that makes me want to send happy mail to them on a regular basis.
