Adventure Awaits

 

Ahoy, matey! Today I’m sharing an encouragement card I made with Adventure Awaits, a newer stamp set from Pajama Crafters Stamps. I love the ship with its pirate flag—it suggests strength and resilience. I chose sentiments that encourage the recipient to stay strong and keep going.

I wanted some dimension for this card, but I didn't want to just pop up the ship on foam dots and the image seam appropriate for a shake card, so I decided to frame the ship and sentiment.  I used an older die by My Favorite Things that cut two openings with the larger square opening up top.  

To keep the construction of this card "clean", I used the die to cut out 8 layers of 110lb cardstock.  I glued the layers together to create "wells".  I used the die to cut the patterned paper for the front and inner areas.

I used Copic markers to color the ship.  I matched to colors to the patterned paper as best as I could.  Once it was colored, I cut it out, applied 1mm foam squares to the back and centered it in the square openings.

This is a very quick and easy card to make.  I have a video up on my YouTube Channel if you would like to follow along:

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
