Craft Smith Feeling Nauti
I’m still working on thinning out my 6×6 paper pad collection. This time I used the Craft Smith Feeling Nauti paper. Obviously it’s a nautical theme with a lot of blues and a few splashes of bright pink. It was an interesting paper pad with the paper having an adult feel, and the cut-aparts having a juvenile feel (i.e lots of mermaids).
I decided to put the cut-aparts to the side and focus on using the paper. I ended up leaving a few of the cards blank, since not everything needs a sentiment, and used stamps and dies for the rest. I especially liked how the cards with the die cut “thanks” and “hello” sentiments turned out. It was a bit time consuming to die cut each sentiment 3 times and then stack and glue but I think they made a nice impact on the cards.
I was able to use the mermaid cut-aparts by pairing them with some wave patterned paper from my stash. While not my favorite cards, I liked how they turned out and they will be good to donate as kid-themed cards are very popular.
Embellishments on the cards included washi tape, charms, ribbon, sequins, Love from Lizi peel-offs and Queen and Co. pearls. I was also excited to try out some new mirrored specialty cardstock on a couple of the cards.
