Paper Boat Regatta

Close to my Heart is *so* much more than just scrapbooking and cardmaking. We also do cute "off the page" projects with our papers like this cute little boat!



Wouldn't it be sweet in a nautical nursery for a new baby?
Or several in different sizes decorated with baby's name and used as a center piece at a baby shower?
Or at a nautical themed wedding? The options are nearly endless!

Regatta is only available until April 30 (unless sold out earlier) and time is quickly running out!

Snap up your own Regatta paper and accessories here in my shop!

Regatta Blog Hop

Welcome to the Regatta blog hop!
If you've arrived here from Lauren Moore's CTMH Craftings you're in the right place.


Regatta is a refreshingly beautiful rustic nautical themed collection.
It's one of 3 limited edition collections from Seasonal Expressions 1 expiring April 30th!

I love the blend of colors, patterns, and textures in this collection! For me, it screams "beach/yacht club wedding", little boys, big boys, outdoor adventures, babies, little girls, big girls, travel, and plenty of options for cardmaking.

I really love the origami boat paper and wanted to use it on as many cards as possible. That's where my trusty Wishes Card Confidence book came into play. There's heaps of beautiful designs and I had a ball choosing which I'd use. :)
When I'm in a creative rut, I reach for my books and flick through until I find a design I like. Why reinvent the wheel when I don't have to, right?

These are a few of the cards I came up with! I used the full collection to make these: Regatta paper packet, Regatta complements, My Anchor stampset, My Anchor Thin Cuts, and coordinating inks. Here we go!

Card #1 - Lots of stamping in heaps of colors
Card #2 - A bit of stamping and thin cuts
Card #3 - I stamped and thin cut a few little boats and added them to the card front.
Card #4 - A cluster of stamping and Kraft complements
Card #5 - Stamping, thin cuts, and complements accented with enamel heart

Voila! I've now got a pile of cards that are a bit more on the masculine/generic side to add to my stash. Super cute eh? I hope this inspires you to think outside the box and tweak your favorite Regatta paper into something beautiful

Click through the links or contact your consultant to purchase. :) Regatta Paper Packet, Regatta Complements, White Daisy and Sapphire Exclusive Cardstocks, My Anchor stampset, My Anchor Thin Cuts, White Card Value Pack, Ruby Flaxen Glacier Sapphire Exclusive Inks, Wishes Softcover Card Confidence, My Acrylix® Blocks, Spritz, Scrubber, Versamat™, Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors, SureCut™ Deluxe Craft Paper Trimmer, 3L® E-Z Dots® Adhesive.

Life In Pictures Blog Hop

Another month, another blog hop.

Welcome to the Life in Pictures stamp of the month blog hop!

If you've arrived here from Lauren Moore's CTMH Craftings you're in the right place.

This new stamp of the month is gorgeous.
I love photography and now there's a new set of camera stamps? Yes please, I'll add those to my stash! How cute is this stampset with heaps of different camera types? If you love photography, you need to add this to your crafting stash. There's HEAPS of uses for these images! Selfie themed pages, wedding themed pages, anniversary themed pages, and oodles of card ideas. I've chosen a card for this hop.

I've mixed Regatta scraps with Life in Pictures to create this simple card. It's meant to be a polaroid coming straight out of the camera. :)
I decided to star emboss the ombre paper for a bit of texture. I stamped the camera and frame on white cardstock, then the frame again on the flaxen star paper, fussy cut everything and assembled as shown. I'll put a picture of my husband inside the frame and it's his anniversary card for this year. :)

Inside I added a bit of masked stamping and little hearts (from Kiss It Better).


To make this project, you'll need the following materials. Click through the links or contact your consultant to purchase. :) Regatta Paper Packet, White Daisy Exclusive Cardstock, Life in Pictures SOTM, White Card Value Pack, Black Ruby Flaxen Glacier Sapphire Exclusive Inks, 3x3" My Acrylix® Block, Spritz, ScrubberConfetti Stars Embossing Folder, Versamat™, Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors, SureCut™ Deluxe Craft Paper Trimmer, 3L® E-Z Dots® Adhesive.
