Hi friends, Eloise here and today I have a card to share with you all using the Let Your Dreams Sail Stamp Set along with just the A Plate from the Waves Plate Die. I’ll also be pulling in some Distress Inks to create a simple sunset background.
To begin my card today I started off with die cutting my background panel. I used the Waves Plate A Die and die cut it from some white cardstock. I used an exact knife to cut away some of the top excess waves, since I only wanted the waves to be focused along the bottom of the panel. I kept the frame in tact though, since I wanted it to frame off my design. Now my frame had been altered, I stamped out my sailboat from the Let Your Dreams Sail set and coloured it in with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating die to cut it out.
(Copic Markers Used: BG11, BG32, BG23, BG49 / N0 N2, N4 / 0 / E53, E55, E57 / Y11 Y15, Y19)
Now I was ready to work on the background. I first used the Waves Plate Die Cut as a template and traced the top of the waves onto some masking tape. I then cut it out with scissors and used it to mask off some watercolour paper. I used Abandoned Coral, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed for the sunrise/sunset part of the background. I then used the negative mask and ink blended some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean at the bottom section.
Now my background was done, I adhered my Waves background over the top. I then stamped some of the birds from Let Your Dreams Sail Stamp Set around the background and white heat embossed those. I then adhered my sailboat over the top as well. To finish off, I stamped the ‘Sail’ sentiment directly on the background with black ink and then white heat embossed the additional ‘Let Your Dreams Set’ sentiment onto a thin strip of black cardstock and adhered it to my card as well.
That finished off my card for today, I hope you enjoyed. The video is linked down below if you would like to watch it.
Thanks so much for stopping by today and I’ll catch you next time.
Supplies
Hello! Today I got to make two very fun cards that I’ve been excited to make for a long time. I’m so glad I waited, because the new 
When die cutting the patterned paper for the little hexagon inlays, it was so much fun to see what pieces came through. I love cards that have the depth of really looking into the details. There are so many fun things to look at. (I love the crab peeking out of the hexagon above).
Layering dies give limitless look and feel to cards because of the color combination, layering, and inlaying options. Using the same color for all of the butterfly layers really put the focus on texture.
The thought behind the “miss you” card is very sentimental… the “Miss You” from the 
I glued only the center of the butterfly so the wings would sit off the base. A few jewels were added to the butterfly.
Many of these layering dies would work for this general idea and any of the Prima paper pads offer incredible, small details that are perfectly sized for the hexagons. The thank you card uses the beautiful 
Jeanne here today with three cards made with the Grace Layered Die set. I love the mandala inspired designs that have me thinking of India – exotic and beautiful.
These dies are gorgeous, but where they really get interesting is in their versatility. If you look close you’ll see there are two circles inside the panel that are removable.
I hope you’re having a great day! Masculine cards seem to be a struggle sometimes, but they’re a breeze with the new nautical images in the store! Two new stamp sets you’ll find include Let Your Dreams Sail and Let Your Light Shine. Both sets have coordinating die cuts making them easy to create scenes.
The new Waves Plates are easy to assemble. Just choose three shades of card stock, cut them and assemble them. I chose a dark navy for the most detailed layer (A) and then slightly lighter shades for Layers B & C. Don’t you love the stitching? While the swirly curves make the most beautiful ocean waves I can’t help but think of Van Gogh’s Starry Night!
This background is so pretty you might not want to cover it up! I added a sailboat from Let Your Dreams Sail. The sentiment is perfect for your favorite guy’s special day !
Sometimes images can get lost on a busy background. I approach the layered background the same way I do pattern paper. I break up the patterns by adding some solid card stock. The solid card stock die cut circles as a sun takes the focus off the background and makes the perfect setting for the sailboat. The Stitched Circle Layers are from Memory Box.
