My Onefer is a christmas card. This is a brilliant stamp for male cards but I wanted to use it in a different way and the christmas carol just kept going round in my head. I stamped and heat embossed in gold and fussy cut the boat three times. The sentiment was done on the computer and matted onto gold mirricard and the waves are a Memory Box die. I'm rather pleased with how this turned out and the stamp heat embossed beautifully.
I'm entering this in the following challenges
Pixie's Snippets Playground challenge 'use snippets' (everything except the base card were snippets)
Inkspirational challenge 'travel'
My Twofer is a very CAS design and also uses a sentiment from the same stamp set, as well as one of the stamps from the new release 'background builders classics' for the sea.
I shall enter this in the following challenges
CASology challenge 'water'

Andrea, you've done two wonderful cards using that great ship from the new release! I love that you thought of that Christmas verse and re-enacted it for your first design! I can imagine it looks stunning gold-embossed among the diecut waves! And your second card is beautifully CAS with your ship bobbing on the waves in your square design! Thanks so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #19! (I'm glad you saw that the CASology challenge is water!) Hugs, Darnell p.s. I can't wait to see a photo of your granddaughter in her cat costume!!
Beautiful nautical cards, so clean and pretty! I absolutely love how you made the gold embossed sailboats into a Christmas card simply by using the verse with them. Clever! I love the die cut waves on that one and the stamped waves on your pretty blue card. Thank you so much for playing along with us at Twofer!
Two beautiful CAS cards, in the Christmas one the waves are really effective and I love the way you added the sentiment, the second is a perfect CAS card
These are brilliant cards Andrea. I love the three ships, what a great Christmas card and I love how you have done the waves on the second xx

I think your idea of using the ships on a Christmas card is brilliant, and with the gold ink on white you’ve achieved an elegant look. I think it’s lovely. Thanks for joining our challenge at Inkspirational.
