Welcome to InKing Royalty’s June Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around NEW. With the launch of Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog, NEW gives us the opportunity to showcase new products and play with new colors. There are also new occasions (babies, weddings, graduations) to celebrate, so you are going to see a variety of projects in this hop. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I am sharing a card made with the new Sailing Home Bundle. This bundle makes card design super easy! With all of the stamps, dies, DSP, and accessories the cards practically make themselves!
Here’s my card:
Here are the details:
- While most of the Designer Series Paper in this bundle features shades of blue, I used a piece that is Mossy Meadow.
- The card base is Soft Suede and the other neutral color is Very Vanilla.
- The compass and lighthouse are stamped in Soft Suede and die cut. The die cut wheel is also done in Soft Suede.
- The compass needle is die cut from a Copper Foil Sheet and attached to the compass with a brad. So fun!
- The sentiment is perfect because I’m giving this card to my handsome hubby for our anniversary.
- The last element is the Braided Linen Trim which I tied in a Sailor’s Knot and attached onto the back of the DSP. Super easy! Here’s a picture from Martha Stewart that shows you how to make the knot:

Gotta love everything about this card. I haven’t seen enough of picking up the Mossy Meadow with the paper. Great choice!
Thanks so much, Dianne!
This card is great. I love this suite, and we mostly see it in blues, so I find the greens and browns refreshing. And, your knot is perfect!
Thanks Linda!
Great card, Robin! Love this collage of nautical elements and that knot! What a great addition! ♥
Thanks Brian. I love everything about this suite.
Beautifully done Robin. The little details like using the copper foil and the braided linen trim add so much to the card . Great job Robin.
Thanks Robbye!
Wonderful collection of elements Robin.
Thanks Lynn!
I love all the details on this gorgeous card and I appreciate the tutorial on the sailor’s knot! I’ve always been fascinated with knot tying and you have inspired me to start actually learning some. What an authentic touch to your card!
Thank you Denise! Have fun with the knot!
Awesome card, Robin! Your knot was perfect. Thanks for the instructions and inspiration.
