Masculine, Nautical Scripture Card

With Father's Day this coming weekend, summer themes in full force just about everywhere and our never-ending need for scripture, this card is a winner. Add in the fact that it has a fun pocket on the inside with fun little tuck-ins and it goes over and above the top!

Framed Edmund Fitzgerald

Good morning once again. How special it is when someone asks us to create a specific piece just for them. The home decor piece we share today was created by Karen Letchworth at the request of her brother, wanting a keepsake to remember the Edmund Fitzgerald. Growing up in Duluth, MN, this ship has special meaning and memories, as it does for so many. I am sure he was just thrilled with Karen's final result, and I know you will be, too!

And be sure to check out our current Product of the Week at 20% OFF at the end of this post.

Karen purchased a small square wooden frame and set out to create the interior artwork as well as the surrounding landscape to create a stunning little vignette.

It was easily done with the right stamps, dies and supplies at hand.

The Edmund Fitzgerald (ship)

The Mackinac Bridge (bridge)

He Stilled the Storm (helm, birds)

He is the Light (pilings, anchor)

Cheesecloth

Watercolor Cardstock

A closer look at the Fitzgerald.

Thank you so much, Karen, for this wonderful and nostaligic project. A beautiful piece of home decor and a fabulous keepsake!

Nautical Themed Birthday Wishes

We here at Stamp Simply love creating stamp sets in coordinated/companion series. Doing so allows you to puchase one or two sets at a time, then continue to build on the series, offering more and more options for design. Esther Asbury is here today sharing a wonderful nautical themed card combining sets from our Lighthouse Series and our Great Lakes Series, which all fall under the broader classification of our Michigan Series. All made to work together in terms of image style and font, they are totally interchangeable, giving you so many, many design options.

And please note our Product of the Week listed at the end of this post, available at 20% OFF all week long.

This fun fold card is a variation of the popular Joy Fold Card, which I often describe as being one card (backwards) on top of the base card. This is very similar in design.

This is the card front, fully closed.

The Mackinac Bridge (bridge, sentiment)

Fishtail Sentiment Banners (to cut sentiment)

Ink Drops Ocean (designer paper used throughout)

Opening the top flap with bridge, this is what you now see.

He is the Light (lighthouse)

Sliding over, this is the underside of that top bridge flap, holding the sentiment and giving us a peek at the next layer.

Grace (scripture)

He Stilled the Storm (wheel/helm)

Circle Dies

And this is the true card inside of the base card.

The Edmund Fitzgerald (freighter/sentiment)

Fishtail Sentiment Banners (to cut sentiment)

And the only embellishment used throughout this project is the drywall tape. I remember that wonderful discovery a few decades ago - LOL. Fun then and still fun, now!

Thanks so much, Esther, for this wonderful project!

Nautical Themed Mini Slimline

Hello to all! Esther Asbury is here today sharing a fabulous little project jam packed with fun treats once you open it. It's a mini slimline card in a nautical theme that she made as a masculine birthday card. I love a good nautical theme, and I know a lot of women do, too, so don't limit your thinking! There is a lot of goodness packed into this small project, so let's get going!

Oh, and don't forget to check out our Product of the Week at the end of this post.

This is another project that got me at hello - totally enamored here!

This small card started with a 6 x 6" sheet of designer paper folded in 1/2, giving you the 3 x 6" card base. It contains two pockets - one on the front and one on the inside, both holding tags to pull out.

He is the Light (colored lighthouse)

The Mackinac Bridge (best wishes)

Scripty Background Minis Set 1 (background vintage text)

Vintage Emporium (paper used throughout)

Cheesecloth, Burlap

This is the pull-out tag in the front pocket.

He Stilled the Storm (neutral lighthouse, birds)

The Edmund Fitzgerald (birthday wishes)

Scripty Background Minis Set 1 (background vintage text)

This is the card inside once opened where you can easily see the pocket and tag on the left.

The Edmund Fitzgerald  (leader sentiment)

Birthday Sentiments (birthday sentiment)

He Stilled the Storm (ropes)

And here is the tag pulled out of the inside pocket.

The Mackinac Bridge (bridge, sentiments)

What a fabulous project, Esther. Thank you so much!

Creating little "books" with pockets and pull-outs makes one feel so accomplished and it is so much fun!

These smaller background stamps were created as a more user-friendly alternative to the typical large background stamps. Set 1 has some irregular edges and parts of words missing to resemeble torn and tattered text or pages, while Set 2 contains full and clearly printed sentiments.

Super fun and easy to use and SO versatile.
