Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are starting to make some plans. Yesterday’s post I got a little mixed up on my days. When I have a day on the weekend off, I get a little confused of what day it is lol. I had yesterday off and was able to get a lot done between crafting, cleaning, laundry and paying bills. I’ve learned to love my days when I’m home alone. No one to be calling to me to look at this or help them with that. I can just do my thing and I get so much done.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Cozy Cabin.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Gentle Waves Cling Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the colors and the sailboat on the top shelf in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #169.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by stamping the water image on a Basic Whtie panel from the Gentle Waves stamp set first in Balmy Blue and I move the stamp slightly and stamped again in Misty Moonlight, stamping off on scrap paper once. I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed a Basic White card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic White Thick card base. I adhered the stamped panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Misty Moonlight, Real Red and Sahara Sand Inks. I cut the panel for easy punching of the stamped images. I punched the images out using my Sailboat Builder Punch. I cut 2 clouds from the panel using my Waves Dies (available March 1). I stamped the sentiment from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the panel and cut it apart using my Paper Snips.

I adhered the boat images to the stamped panel. I stamped the shadow image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set below each boat using Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Misty Moonlight sails using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the Real Red Sails using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the clouds to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the cut-up sentiment to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the Gentle Waves stamp on the bottom of the panel in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink, the sails in Real Red Ink and the shadow in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamped off once. I stamped the bird image in Smoky Slate Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat and then to the inside of the Basic White thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the envelope front the same as I did for the inner liner of the card. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
