| If you’re looking for a simple way to add variety to your projects, start by sifting through the supplies you already have! With just a few sheets of cardstock and your trusty Paper Trimmer, you can easily create three unique designs to highlight stamps of every size from your favourite set. |
| For all of the cards above, we started with: |
|
| Helicopter Card No trimming needed! Stamp on the Whisper White Cardstock, use Stampin’ Seal to adhere the Designer Series Paper to the Smoky Slate card base, then attach the stamped cardstock using Stampin’ Dimensionals. |
| Car Card Cut the Whisper White Cardstock into four squares measuring 1-7/8" x 1-7/8" (4.8 x 4.8 cm) and stamp. Attach the Designer Series Paper to the Smoky Slate card base with Stampin’ Seal, then adhere the squares to the Designer Series Paper using Stampin’ Dimensionals. |
| Train Card Trim the Whisper White Cardstock into three strips measuring 3-3/4" x 1-1/4" (9.5 x 3.2 cm) and stamp. Attach the Designer Series Paper to the Smoky Slate cardstock with Stampin’ Seal, then adhere the stamped strips to the Designer Series Paper using Dimensionals. |
Great to wish your friends happy travels with this whimsical, transportation-themed stamp set. Great for children or adults. Personally I love the images in the Moving Along stamp set... So will soon be part of my collection... as trains and VW Beetles definitely figure large in my family's life!
And here's another project sample for you... showcasing the wonderful two step stamping aspect of this stamp set to create depth and dimension with your images ... stamp the silhouette image in the lightest colour of ink. Then stamp the detailed images over the top in darker colours.

Wednesday Wideo - By The Dock
As it really reminds me of many of my early years in an idyllic location at the side of Windermere lake in the Lake District... and later years with our family camping buddies on the side of Ullswater! Just messing about on the water as they say! So it is a scrapbooking dream for me!
Wonderful lakeside images... though I think the word "dock" may mean something a bit different over here... as I reckon the main image is much more of a jetty or pontoon in our speak!
Click here - or on the arrow below - for the feature video...
Or click here for all the details...

Happy Fathers Day.... Sailing Home
Yachts on acetate... as described in Saturday's post here... SO SO much better...
Sandy land mass on horizon and lighthouse... looks so much better than more Old Olive green in the original... and done as my husband is a fair weather sailor... so this Waterfront scene is definitely in sunny Greece, Turkey or Croatia! And not the wonderful but wet Lake District... So it has to be sand...
Happy Fathers Day label from Geared Up Garage... as it was there... though personally this is a bit large for the card for me... but it says what it needed to say! And I did do a bit of colouring with my Smoky Slate and Night of Navy Stampin Blends...
Base panel from embossed Balmy Blue too... speeded up the process in class... and looks nearly as good...

Happy Fathers Day Dad!
My father loves his cars... particularly a convertible!
So it just had to be done... call it Geared Up Garage meets Sailing Home meets Waterfront!
Happy Fathers Day Dad!
Click here for how to produce the convertible car version...
Click here for the Bridge U Fold card tutorial...
Click here for the Waterfront Background Scene Tutorial...
And the yachts are stamped onto Window Sheets acetate with Staz On...
And stamped onto white card with Memento, then the sails and hulls coloured using Stampin Blends.... and just the sails and hulls quickly fussy cut
And then stuck onto the acetate version... and then die cut (or fussy cut)

And apologies to you eagle eyed viewers that have spotted my Very Vanilla lighthouse! But I had to finish this card off within minutes... and there just wasn't time for the production of a new lighthouse on white! And I know my Dad wont notice...

Simple Saturday Sailing Home card with Waterfront Background Scene Tutorial
Sharing a DL sized Sailing Home card for the sailors today....
And here are the step by steps with photos for how I produced the background scene using the fabulous Waterfront stamp set and a bit of ink...This is also how I created the background scene on the Sailing Home Bridge U Fold card I shared here... for which I had a lot of people contact me for a tutorial... and for which you can find the card tutorial here...
And to finish that card... you just need to change the background scene to this Waterfront version for which I have shared the step by steps below... although if you haven't got Waterfront you could use the masking version described here...
Photo Tutorial for creating the Waterfront Background scene...
Sponge or brayer Balmy Blue all over...
NOTE that this step is not required on the Sailing Home Bridge U Fold card version...
Add Old Olive (Waterfront) mountain.... do not re-ink
I forgot both of these tips when stamping this panel "at speed" as just for Tutorial photographic purposes!
Repeat across the width...with trees getting taller as you go...
Partially ink up the Waterfront single line stamp using Sahara Sand... and stamp along the horizon to form the sandy shore... ie place the straightest edge of the line stamp onto the edge of your ink pad...
And voila... your scene is set...

Classic Garage Convertible!
Snip a bit off the top of the car cut from the Classic Garage papers and here you go... a convertible (aka cabriolet... soft top... open top!) to make many a man happy! And quite a few ladies too ...
Hardtop version shown below! With more details here...
Or stamp & snip... this one looks more like my silver Mercedes CLK a few years back! Always miss that car on a lovely sunny day!
Oh and the eagle eyed amongst you may have spotted that I have changed my road production method!!
I still sponged to start off with... but then I also used Gray Granite and the "thin straight" in the Waterfront stamp set... to create more definition... inking up...stamping... stamping again, inking up and so on...
