Tips On Using The Sailboat Builder Punch & Stamp Set – Thursday’s Tip

Today I am going to share some tips on using the Sailboat Builder Punch with the Let’s Set Sail stamp set. You can check out the video below too.

This simple sailboat card is similar to the black and white version I taught at Coffee & Cards, but I also wanted to make a card that involved stamping of the boat, so this is it.

This card is a note card sized card, so I kept it fairly simple. The sails are stamped in Misty Moonlight and Real Red ink. Misty Moonlight is one of my favourite colours and unfortunately it will be retiring soon. I was able to set up both sails on my clear block at once using the negative of the punched out sailboat shape, colour each of the with a different ink pad and then punch them out together.

I punched out the boat and sails in Crumb Cake cardstock. I put the negative punched out piece onto my Stamparatus.. I lined up the sailboat in the punched out negative, put the sailboat cardstock back in place in the cardstock negative and then stamped it with Crumb Cake ink to give if more definition. You can see how I did this in the video. The video also shows how I lined up the sails.

I stamped the refection in the water with Misty Moonlight ink and then adhered the sailboat directly to the card. The sails are adhered with Mini Dimensionals so they are lifted off the card a little and it looks like they have air in them. The birds were stamped in Black Memento ink. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

Here is a video showing you how made this card and how I lined up the stamps before punching them out.

Here are all the supplies that I used.
