Waterfront

I admit that I'm pretty bummed that this stamp set has retired. I didn't use it right away because I was intimidated by it. Once I got over that feeling, I have really enjoyed creating with it. I wish I would have just taken the plunge and worked with it. 

I still wanted to share some cards that I made with Waterfront. Maybe you have it and are looking for some more inspiration so here it is!

My card base is Blackberry Bliss. I cut my Basic White to 4" x 5-1/4" and stamped my scene on it. I then pulled two of the Stitched Rectangle dies and laid them on the stamped cardstock. I then die cut them to get the missing section. I did put the center part on my card base with dimensionals and the outside frame is taped to the card base. 


Mossy Meadow card base, Soft Sea Foam and Blackberry Bliss are the colors of choice for this beauty. Birch background stamp was stamped on the card base. I die cut the Stitched Labels and then stamped the scene on it. I added the bow with a glue dot.


Nothing super special about this card. It was created just the way you think it might have been created. This is a great masculine card. I love having a few cards on hand for whatever is needed. Masculine cards can be a challenge. 


Have you ever bought a set because you loved the samples you were seeing on social media? Then after you got it, you struggled with it? This has happened to me more than once. I need to just jump in and try! That's what I tell my girls and the kids at school. 
 
The pictures below will link you to my online store if you are looking to purchase the supplies for these cards. Many items have recently retired but I can help you pick out something that is similar. 

Happy Stampin'!

Snow Front

Snow Front doesn't have to be used for only winter or Christmas cards. I wanted to show the versatility of this wonderful set so I made some birthday cards with it.

The Evergreen Forest embossing folder makes a great background for these adorable deer. I stamped the trees once in full strength and then again without inking them back up again. I did fussy cut the deer but it was so worth it!


I really like the deer in this set so I wanted to focus on them again for this card. I die cut the main panel with Stitched Rectangle dies and then stamped the scene.


The mountains in the background are screaming for someone to climb them. Not me, but someone! The deer make a great focal point again for this card. The trees were stamped several times before inking the stamp up again. That is how I got the different shades of green. 


I hope I have helped you to be create some masculine cards. They aren't always easy, at least not for me. Take a look at your stamps and see what else you can create with them. You might be surprised at what you already have!
