General Cards, Graduation

Sailing Home!

It has happened!  The new 2019-2020 catalog is now available and that means that I can now introduce you to the new stamp sets and suites, new punches, dies, ribbons, embellishments,…all kinds of goodness is wrapped up in those pages!  Even the cover has hints of what’s inside:

If you don’t have a catalog, you can click here:  2019-2020 Annual Catalog to get a .pdf copy.  Or if you would prefer to have a catalog in your hands, just click on the catalog link in the header and I’ll send one out to you….or come to my Setting Sail for Summer Open House on Sunday, July 1st and pick up your copy!  Comment below and I’ll send you the details!

One of my favorites sets in this catalog is the Sailing Home Bundle.  You can find that on page 145.  Maybe it was the sailing ships (I spent a few years living in Mystic, CT) or maybe it was the lighthouses  (if there is a lighthouse within a 60 mile radius of any trip we take, it’s like a magnet for my husband), or maybe it was the nautical feel of anchors & ropes, but I was hooked when I first saw it.  As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I was able to pre-order a few items and the Sailing Home Bundle was one of them!  So here’s my first card to share:

Love those sailboats!  Such a summery feel!  Here is the stamp set that I used SAILING HOME and the COME SAIL AWAY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER.  You can see that several of the stamped images can be die cut with the SMOOTH SAILING DIES.

One of the things I love about this stamp set is the natural shading on the stamped images.  It give you a little bit of an old time feel….like you’re sailing back in time….or maybe in the directions of your dreams like the sentiment says!

And did you notice the little anchor hanging from the cotton twine?  That is part of a set of brushed silver SAIL AWAY TRINKETS – little anchors and ship’s wheels.
