Our Regatta Palette



Our Regatta Palette has a great paper pack with a focus on the red, white and blue. The bright colours feature a nautical theme and would be great for the boys in our life, holidays and beach or just for the bright cards and album pages. 

The compliments and assortments match really well. ...the hard work is done for you! It also features a Workshop your Way pack to make album pages or cards and an additional stamp set exclusive and suitable for your favorite colour palette...

The Regatta products are available from the Seasonal Expressions 1 Idea book and finishes in 3 weeks, end of April and focused this month with Close To My Heart.


The 'My Anchor' stamp set has a matching 'thincuts' to cut the shapes. Thin cuts are dies that can be used on your favourite die cutting machine and the matching stamp sets match perfectly for details.





 A Shaker Card




I took one of my favourite products...Flipflaps... and used them to make a shaker card. Cut a 3x3 hole in the top paper layer. Place a few sequins or glitter in the flip flap and seal it. Place it behind the top layer and secure in place with the adhesive strip and some glue dots and decorate. Using the 'My Anchor' thincuts cut the boat, lighthouse, sun and wave strips. Stamp using Cranberry, Canary, Glacier Sapphire and Whisper inks. Add the cloud image from C1570 Lifting Spirits to complete the picture. Any little boy would love this card....maybe a great ones for the grand kid boys!

These images are wonderful and many ideas were running through my head but I decided to go simple with a card. I cut a film strip from our Cricut Artistry cartridge and added it to the Kraft cardstock. There is a faint ink blot D1660 stamped in bamboo ink on the background. The large camera is stamped in cocoa ink for the vintage look. A simple card just to connect with someone....smile!

As I love our Shin Han markers for colouring and these images just screamed to be coloured I focused on stamped, coloured and cut images on a special fold card.


The card base is easy to do...... First let me share the measurements
card base.... 11 x 4¼ score at 2¾ and 5½ 
Floating strip.... 1 x 11 score 2¾ and 5½ 
designer paper 2½ x 4 

The floating strip is added to the card with the opposite scores being matched up.
When it folds closed the card fits our regular blank card envelope
