My Ship Has Come In (even if it spins)

For the Bedtime Stories Challenge at Waltzingmouse's PJ Party.

It's the ship from Ocean Bound, spinning around under a banner made of Tim Holtz Tissue Tape stamped with the boat from Bitty Baby Blessings stamp set. The waves are made using the appropriately named Waves background stamp by Hero Arts. The Ship is from Waltzingmouse's Ocean Bound (I am REALLY loving this set). 

The lid features another ship from Ocean Bound as well as the AHOY. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Studio Style.

I want to make sure I get this entered in time, but I have a tutorial in the works that I will post soon. But basically it's a spinner card just made 3D.

Stamping With Neutrals

Make It Monday #214: Stamping with Neutrals. The background is stamped with Lovely Layers in Soft Stone and Dark Chocolate Inks.  The Rosie Posie Flower is stamped and then painted with Raspberry Fizz, the leaves are stamped in Soft Stone. Late night finish means a photograph at my desk.

A Different Sort of Graduation Card

The moon is a 3 step stamp set from Kitchen Sink's Owl & Autumn Moon stamp set. The first 2 layers are stamped in white pigment ink, the 3rd is stamped with silver metallic pigment ink. The sentiment is from Safe Harbour Sentiments stamp set by Waltzingmouse stamped in Versafine as is the ship from Waltzingmouse's Ocean Bound stamp set.  The blue cardstock is Blueberry Sky by Papertrey Ink.

This is for the Old Pajamas Challenge at Waltzingmouse's PJ Party, and Graduation at CASology.

Coffee and Doughnut

Coffee Coloured Challenge at Waltzingmouse's PJ Party. Everything is stamped with Versafine pigment ink, which is waterproof. I gave it a quick shot of heat with the Ranger Heat-It to make sure it was dry and wouldn't smudge.

The Doughnut frosting is painted with Papertrey Ink's Dark Chocolate and a waterbrush. The coffee cozy is painted with Pure Poppy. The doughnut frosting and coffee cup eyes are covered with Glossy Accents.

Let's Get Together

I got the We Go Together stamp set from Waltzingmouse just in time for another card for the Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. It's also very colored, so perfect for the 30 Day Coloring Challenge.

The doughnut is painted with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, The coffee cozy is painted with Twisted Citron

The background is Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, Mermaid Lagoon and Picked Raspberry "smooshed" onto a piece of plastic packaging and spritzed with water. The card base is Papertrey Ink's Limeade Ice.

Oh! The places You Will Go!

This week's CASology cue card is Graduation. Since I need a card for a friend's bright daughter's graduation, the timing is perfect. All the stamps are from Waltzingmouse's Ocean Bound set. The rope frame is stamped with Wild Honey Distress Ink and Papertrey Ink's Dark Chocolate and then gone over with Brushed Corduroy Distress Marker on manilla card stock and fussy cut. The ship and the sentiment are stamped with Memento's Paris Dusk. The card base is Papertrey Ink's Ocean Tides.
