Heart2Heart Challenges - Regatta

Heart2Heart Challenges is hosting a Regatta paper challenge this week which gave me a chance to get my D1684 Beach Days stamp set inky!  My high school senior is going into Marine Biology at Western Washington University in the fall so this stamp set was a must purchase for me.  

I've stamped my crab in Pomegranate ink and my octopus in Glacier with the edges rolled in Sapphire.  I couldn't resist adding some googly eyes to these guys.  Flaxen ink gives a great sandy feel to the star fish and banner piece.

The card above shows the very nautical side of Regatta but there are also pieces that work great for less theme specific cards too!  This quick card was made with a piece of the PML card that comes with the paper pack and a few scraps!

The sentiment is from a Hostess Rewards set called Little Things stamped in Sapphire ink.  A few strip of our Gold Foil tape and a few Gold Sequins ties this one up!

I hope you'll hop on over to Heart2Heart Challenges and create something with the nautical and nice Regatta paper pack!

Stay crafty my friends!

5 Minute Card with Regatta Paper Pack - Get the pattern and instructions here!

Sometimes all you have is a few minutes in your craft room to whip together a card.  The pattern below is a quickie that can help you put together a card in 5 minutes or less! 

I made this one with our nautically themed Regatta Paper Pack and our C1642 My Anchor stamp set.  Both of these beauties are retiring at the end of April - just 12 more days to order these and other products from our Season Expression 1 book!  The White with Gold Ribbon I used on this one WILL be available after this Idea Book. It has such a nice feel to it, very soft and easy to tie a bow or knot.

 

To Make Your 5 Minute Card

1. Cut one 2x2" square and then cut it diagonally for 2 corners.

2. Cut two .5"x5" strips in coordinating paper.

3.  Adhere the two pieces to the corners and optionally add ribbon to cover the joining or a .25" width piece of coordinating paper.

4. Stamp a sentiment and a cluster of images in the center of the card using colors from the papers.

5. Pat yourself on the back for being a clever girl who makes cute creations with your CTMH products!  ;-)

Thanks for stopping by today!  Stay crafty my friends!

This set is just too cute!  I couldn't resist making another center stair step card with Regatta papers featuring this adorable pirate colored in with our Shinhan Markers.

I added a touch of the White and Gold Ribbon, some Red Enamel Gems and a bit of Shimmer Trim.

If this little guy calls out to you like he did to me, don't put off picking him up because CTMH has changed its stamp retirement schedule.  Now all stamps and papers in the Seasonal Expressions books will RETIRE WITH THE BOOK so you won't even be able to get him after April 30th!  I'd rather see you get him for FREE with Stampganza!  The stamps from our Annual Idea Book will also be retiring (with a few exceptions like the mini state stamps) at the end of August so be sure to pick up your favorites today and save a bundle with STAMPGANZA!
