Floral Nautical

Hi everyone! It's Jocelyn on the blog today.

When I think of nautical designs, I think of navy and red, Topsiders, ropes, stripes, and Robin Williams as Popeye....not exactly feminine florals. When I made today's card, though, I went for the pink flowers and polka dots:

I started by die-cutting a hole in the center of a Webster's Pages journaling card (you can still see a bit of the lettering on the left). Then, I stamped and paper pieced the boat from the sweet new Sailmates set. Love those polka dots!

I was going to hide the bottom of the boat under the banner, but when I was playing around with the Clouds set, I realized the woodgrain looked a little like ocean swells. I have no idea why I stamped the ocean in yellow--ha ha.

Isn't that sentiment from Sailmates awesome? Danielle's sets always have the most perfect fonts and lettering.

I added Crystal Clear and Pumpkin Satin sequins at the top and stitched through them:

Thanks for stopping by!

Interactive Card - We've Moved!

Hello everyone! Nina here to share a fun interactive card.

I used the staff from "My Heart Sings" set to make my fence :) Just draw lines as shown and cut out.

The sentiment was created with my label maker :)

Cut a slot for your sentiment strip:

Cut paper to 3/4" x 7-1/2", score at 1/2" and 3"; fold as shown. Put adhesive on the 1/2" part and insert into the slot.

You will get something like this:

Then cover the strip with the fence and house that you created and you are done! The house stamp is from "Sweet Home", tree from "Little Bear", and the little bee is from "Fresh Blooms". All paper pieced.

I hope that you enjoyed today's post and will give an interactive card a try! Happy crafting!
