Sailing Home Card by Dawn Griffith

The Sailing Home bundle is such a versatile set to add to your craft room. I fell in love with it at OnStage and just knew I had to have it. This card is a copy of Dawn Griffith’s Double Flap. This woman’s creativity is so inspiring, it’s easy to see why she is among the best demonstrators in the world.

How to

STEP 1            Stamp the lighthouse in Night of Navy on White and the greeting on a piece of cardstock.                       

STEP 2            Die cut the light house and cut out the wheel and rope from silver foil paper.

 STEP 3            Build the base. Stamp inside the white layer with the greeting. Stamp the anchor. Take the rope and attach it to the bottom of the white layer. Cut to size.

 STEP 4           Stick the Night of Navy strip (scored at 1 ½) to the base in the centre.

Stick the White layer to the Smoky Slate, centre and adhere to Night of Navy base, on top of the flap that was previously glued to the base.

 STEP 5            Adhere the Designer Series Paper to the top of the Smoky Slate layer.

 STEP 6            Adhere the Night of Navy square, turned to make it a diamond shape. The point should be in the centre of the flap.  

STEP 7            The white layer should be in the centre, as a square. Punch out the greeting and adhere with a dimensional to the white layer.

 STEP 8            Fold the flap over. Adhere the Smoky Slate layer centered to it covers the white piece on the inside. Stamp the sailboat on the white, with the seagulls, and adhere to the Smoky Slate.

STEP 9            On the top layer adhere the white piece on the Smoky Slate. Use Dimensionals (small for wheel, big for lighthouse) and adhere to top layer.

 STEP 10          Stamp your greeting on the mini strip of white, cut ends as banners and adhere the strip to the top layer.
