Hi guys! I hope you got a chance to watch Sam's shows yesterday on C & C using these stamps. They were fab! Leah and I sat and watched them together(between episodes of baby tv!) I didn't realise until I watched the shows just how many samples that I had made using Sam's new ship stamps! There are actually three more to come after this one! I sat down one afternoon and cranked out seven ship cards without blinking an eye! They are very easy to be creative with and work so well for those pesky male cards we always worry about having to come up with ideas for, huh? This card took about 15 minutes to make, which is very unusual for me! I started with a piece of the 12" x 12" Tim Holtz kraft card from his Kraft stack.. It already had a lovely large compass sort of pattern on it in a raised clear embossing. It picked up the light nicely so you can see it on the background of the card in the pic. I used Grand Labels four to cut it out. Using the natural jute that Sam had on the show yesterday, I glued it to the edge of the card following the shape of the nestie, but when I got to the bottom corner, I coiled it leaving the end piece to come out and fray at the end. I stamped the ship on a back of a leftover piece of the kraft card with a black archival ink pad. I cut it out with a circle die and edged it with black soot distress ink. The highlights on it were done with a white pencil. I stamped the sentiment on a kraft tag (which actually came off of something I purchased and I just used the back of the tag!) I used a clear perfect medium pad o stamp a few anchors om it for a watermark look. I edged it with black soot also. I hadn't realised that the metal tassel I attached to the top of the card had fallen as I took the pic so it looks a little bit like a blob, but it is actually one of the Tim Holtz metal tassels so it hangs nicely when you hold the card upright. I added one of the game spinners to the background (sort of to look like a compass needle). I cut a piece of black card and distressed the edges quite heavily and matted the entire card on it. You could quite easily adapt this for Father's Day or a male birthday and you have a quick and easy card sorted! All for now, Sue xSaturday, 18 February 2012
Ship Ahoy!

Hi Sue
Brilliant card. Love the coiled jute looks fantastic.
Sue
Morning Sue
Yes I watched the shows yesterday and they were brilliant, another talented lady. I ordered the stamps and can't wait for them to arrive. I have the Tim Holtz papers that you have used for this card and I can't bear to use them lol. I love the way you have stuck the rope around the edge then coiled it, I noticed this card on C&C and loved it as I did all the samples. I am going to be looking for 'Nautical' embellishments today ready for when my stamps arrive (I might even get to use my Tim Holtz papers lol. x
Great card Sue. Really like the Tim Holtz papers and the clever way you have put the rope around the edge.

Love the nortical theme.. It goes so well with the distressed look... Another fantastic card. Thank you so much for sharing P x
I taped the shows and watched them last night, thought it was very interesting and Sam did a great job with her demos, like the idea of the seaweed flower "thingy" LOL
Fabulous Card, really nice.
Sue M
Love the jute on this card gives it a truly nautical feel. x
This antiqued look is really appealing, I love it.
I just so love this card here Sue. It´s sooo perfect for males or just people, who loves to sail. My sister and brother in law are kean sailors and have their own boat, and I know my sister would just love this one too.
Unfortunately I wasn´t able to see Sam´s shows yesterday, and I know, I missed out on a lot of great things and ideas, but that´s life sometimes, that we can´t have it all.
Have a wonderful week-end and lots of fun everyone.
Excellent!
I love everything about this card. I like string/jute/raffia on men's cards

another great card love the rope effect sue xx
Hi Sue
yes the shows were great. I am going to do the cloud stencil with spellbinder, thought that was really clever as i never get clouds right. Loved the embellishments, bottle with letter in, ships wheel, even the rope looked good . Nice tucked around the porthole. Seemed a shame to cover her map up after Sam put so much work into it. I have been amazed at the different looks you have managed with these stamps. Defiantly a winner. T did notice that you came in the top 50 stamps on the web . WELL DONE
Born again spellbinder

Missed the shows as working but have just looked on c&c at some of the demo videos and they are amazing stamps. Love your card - the rope sets it off so well, have decided to hold off on the stamps though - I am waiting for your show! x
Morning Sue, yes whatched the shows they were fabulous, lots of new items to add to my wish list. Think you and Sam should get your heads together more often and come up with more amazing stamps. Loving the card, its amazing and like you said would suit many an occasion for a male preciptant. xx hazel
Wow!! Sue,you made ALL those cards in an afternoon? You certainly had the wind in your sails. Lovely stamps and as you say will solve a lot of the problems of cards to make for men. Well done Sam very different designs ---you'll be setting the trend! Mabex
Hi Sue, Sam's demos were excellent, loved the new stamps and yours and Sam's cards were just stunning. Also loved the rope/twine, so useful for this type of card. Another winner!

Hi Sue,
Watched Sam yesterday, saw this card on the show, lovely samples throughout the show, I bought the stamps, missed posting a comment for yesterdays card, but I wanted to say, I loved it, the lattice die is great, loved the colours in the flower decoration, glad you mentioned the black seam binding is in your show, tried to get it before but it sold out.
Tuesday's nearly here, lol.
Best Wishes to you Sue.

Hi Sue, Love the card & loved all yours & Sam's samples (& Sam's demos) on C/C last week. Have made a note of all the stamps/goodies to purchase at Ally Pally in April. As I live in France C/C charge so much postage to come out here so it is better for me to include in a trip to see my family. My daughter-in-law loves your work a well, so I am sure she will be purchasing on our trip as well. Thanks, Ann W
Stunning card Sue,I Watched C&C it was fab!, love the rope effect, Hugs May x x x

Wow these nautical themed cards of yours look great and are ideal for those cards for men! Love the image and rope. Hugs, Hanneke
This is a very exciting card as there is so much going on. Love the rope effects.
I wonder if Leah recognised Sam on TV.
Great card. Can't wait to get hold of these stamps (etc - ordered the lot)and have a play although I don't thinkit will come out anywhere near as good as yours and will most probabaly take me a lot longer.
Nice texture nice card.
Loved the show.
Hugs

Loved the shows and have them taped to watch again. Saw this card and thought it was amazing. You and Sam really are the A Team.
Saw the shows and loved them. Ordered the stamps, embossing folders and the glassine papers. Loved the demos and card samples. Cant wait to start using them. Karen x

Hi Sue,What a lovely male card, as i have a few sea fairing relations this will comein very handy for birthday's, thanks Yvonne xx
Hi Sue, This is such a lovely card and so beautifully balanced too. I love the rope and I have to say that after seeing the spinners many times and not thinking they were something I would ever need, I now realise I do need them quite urgently! Sue x
just realising how diverse these stamps are and it's great to see how creations from different designers are all marrying up.
Shows were great and Sams stamps are fab need them all!! Another great card Sue and I really like the texture of the hemp.
Maggie
What a fab card for those difficult men! I love it, Its so stylish.
Good looking card, Sue. Unfortunately missed the shows but am setting record for your debut as designer! x
Absolutely fab card Sue, love the layout and the use of embellishments, another one for my men folder, lol. Thank you Helen O xxx
Another great masculine-type card! I really like the jute and the gameboard piece you used to add interest.
A really great mans card Sue, love it.x
Gorgeous card Sue, love all the texture on this one. I've recorded the shows as I was at work but it looks like I'm in for a treat
Claire xx
Great card sue my dad would love it x
Love the use of the twine on this card, it makes a great frame
Hi Sue, this was one of my fav's on C & C love what you have done with the rope. Suzie B x
Hello Sue,
Wow! 15 minutes is all this took. Sounds like a miracle.
Good job!
Elaine J
This is a gorgeous card, I love the rope effect xx
Hi Sue, your teasing us again aren't you! Beautiful card, the mix of colour is perfect. Linda x
Very nice card! Great idea using the thick twine as ship rope!
Love Pearl x
Your card is fantastic!
Saw this in the show and it jumped out from the other samples! Was hoping to get a closer look at it so thanks! x
great card
Hi Sue,
Absolutely gorgeous again.
The same theme, with Sam Pooles stunning nautical stamps, yet such a different card every time you show us. Sams shows were wonderful and she deserves great applause for these stamps, they really are a very clever range and the variety of card samples was impressive.
All the best Linda
Another great one! That rope is fantastic!
How cool it is with this broad twine; great card, Sue !
Great inspiration! This would work so well for a man's card and they really give you hard time. -Eemeli-
Dear Sue, I am really liking the nautical cards. Caught the Sam Poole shows I did not buy the stamps just yet and I already had the inks and glassine paper etc but like the others I am holding out for Spellbinders shows!! I too love that TH kraft paper pad and I love when I find a topic that means I can use it!
Vee xx
Brilliant guy card or for the ladies, let's not be sexist here!! lol Really like the rope trim accent :-)
I love this! What kills me is....only 15mins? UGH! Great card, Sue. Mimi
