Sail Away with the PPA

Stampin up pretty masculine card idea pals paper arts
PPADTBadge Got button?  This week's Pals Paper Arts Clean and Simple challenge (PPA91) suggests you grab a button(s) and use it on a paper project.  Easy.  I'm also sharing a few sneak peeks of rubber stamps Sail Away, Best Dad Ever (sentiment) and new Baker's Twine in Cherry Cobbler.  All three products will be available May 1 with the launch of the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog.

Check out the handmade card ideas by the PPA Design Team and play along!

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up sail away handmade card pretty ideas The sails and boat hull were stamped separately and paper snipped (love my  Stampin' Up! Paper Snips for small details) and bumped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • This masculine card is destined for my father-in-law.  
  • Baker's Twine adds to the nautical feel.  I used a Paper Piercer, the Stampin' Up! Mat Pack Piercing Template and needle to sew up this detail.
  • I cropped the card base width to 4 1/8 (1/8" less than a standard A2 Card) so that I could hang the sentiment over the and it would still fit in a Stampin' Up! Whisper White Medium Envelope.
