Patty's Cards from the Crafting Cruise

Yesterday during my weekly Facebook Live, I shared the projects I designed for our Alaska crafting cruise participants to create, as well as many of the cards and gifts given to me during our amazing trip on the Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas.

I hope you will enjoy seeing these cards and having them available to pin to your Pinterest boards to save for future inspiration!

Check out my Cards from the Cruise!

We supplied 12 tables with 2 to 3 projects at each table. I designed projects with Stampin’ Up! supplies for Stations 1 – 6. Kurstan created projects for Stations 7 – 12.

A handmade card features a jar filled with red hearts on a pastel-striped background. "Sending a little love your way" is stamped on the front. Matching envelopes with red hearts are in the background. The card is held by a hand, with two more cards below. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

ABOVE: You are welcome to view my previous Triple Fun Fold Card video to see basic instructions for making this type of card.

The fun tip I shared for the card above is to stamp the floral images onto this piece from the Celebratory Sips paper, and just color the leaves. Fussy cut or die cut the flowers!
