Double D - NAUTICAL

 

Dear Ones~

This time over at Double D the challenge is NAUTICAL. Lots of possibilities with this one. Here is the Mood Board for our inspiration:

Here's my card:

I don't have too many supplies that would help create a nautical theme, but I managed to find enough to design this card.  I thought the hemp cord was a good embellishment as it looks like a rope you would use on an anchor or to tie a boat to a slip. That vellum circle adds a whimsical touch, don't you think?

The Ingredients:

GKD White and Kraft Card Stock

Paper Studios Be Bold Be Bright Patterned Paper

Spellbinders Elegant Circles Die for Vellum

SU Sea of Textures Stamp and Die Set

SU Under the Sea Dies

SU Sailing Along and Smooth Sailing Stamps and Dies

Elizabeth Crafts Borders and Trims Dies

Hemp Cord

Trinity Stamps Gold Baubles

 

 

If you head on over to the  Double D Challenge Blog and play along, you could win this totally ADORABLE die set from Cottage Cutz. I just love it!!!  Also, don't forget to check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created.

 Until next time dear readers, ASPIRE to be INSPIRED. 

Here's celebrating your CREATIVE MUSE!!

A Cut Above - Starting off With a BANG!

 

 Dear Ones~

There's a new kid on the block!!! It's a new challenge called A CUT ABOVE, and it's all about die cuts.

Challenges are on a monthly basis and posted on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 AM (Eastern Time) and ending on the 28th of each month 8:00 PM (Eastern Time) with the winner posted on the 30th of that month.

Limit of 3 entries per challenge with each being a different project.

Any project is welcome but MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE DIE CUT defined by using a die cut machine, not a purchased pre-fabricated die cut. Winner is chosen by random draw, and will receive a $5 gift card to A Cherry On Top Online Store along with a dated badge to display on their craft site.

 

Here's my sample:
