Stampin’ Up! A Good Man
Wherever you live, I hope your Saturday was one of sunshine and fun, not gray skies and rain, rain, rain. I feel for the people who have to work outside even if it is raining. We need to thank them for their work.
The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Stamp Set along with the Mountain Air Stamp Set. One of the sentiments is from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set. The others are from the A Good Man Stamp Set.
The challenge over at the Creative Creases Challenge is fun fold cards. They are always fun to create.
The challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters has a theme for their current challenge of Water – Water – Water. Since my card has water in it, I thought I should enter.
This is a screen fold card, so start with a panel of Seaside Spray card stock cut 5-1/2″ x 11″. Score the panel at 2-3/4″ 5-1/2″ and 8-1/4″ Fold the card and burnish really well. This is the way it should look once folded. Using a label punch of your choice, punch the card at the bottom to create feet so the card will stand. Punch the first two at the same time, then use the punched panel as a guide for punch the other two panels.
Cut four Night of Navy card stock mats 2-1/2″ x 4-7/8″. Stamp your artwork from Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Stamp Set using Smoky Slate for the mountains. Stamp the mountains using full-strength ink, then will be like stamping off once time. Move your stamp up a little and stamp again. This will give you a faint shadow behind the mountains. Continue across the 5-3/8 x 11″ panel until you have mountains across the entire panel. Next stamp the trees using Garden Green ink. I masked the bottom of this stamp so it would not show up on the panel. You can use a piece of Washy Tape for this masking. Next stamp the waves image from the High Tide Stamp Set in Seaside Spray on the two middle panels. Using a Blending Brush and Seaside Spray ink color the sky and the bottom portion over the waves. Also two panels are colored with no waves. Use Crumb Cake ink to create the sand.
Stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black ink the man in the chair image that comes with the A Good Man Stamp Set. Let the image dry well, after drying, color using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Highland Heather, Crumb Cake, and Seaside Spray ink. Fussy cut the man and pop on the front panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
You can see that this card will fit a regular size envelope. As the card when folded is narrow, you may want to add a panel of card stock to the envelope to even the card out.
If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.

My card today is created using the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Waterfront stamp set. Waterfront is a stamp set I have had for a long, long time, but today is the first use. I have others that hopefully, I will get to before they retire in June 2020.
The art piece is stamped in several colors, Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz inks for the trees. The horses and car are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and then colored. 
I used Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake for the horses and Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Light Bermuda Bay Markers for the car. The greetings on the front are from the Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride and Stampin’ Up! Geared Up Garage stamp sets. The sky is colored lightly with a Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Watercolor Pencil.
In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the art panel on the card front. I stamped the images from the Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride stamp set on the front of the envelope and gave the same to the envelope flap.
My card today is created using the Stampin’ Up Come Sail Away Memories and More card pack. This is a simple card to make #simplestamping. Really there is no stamping to it. We learned it all in kindergarten, cut and paste!
I am giving you a Sneak Peek as I use the new Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home stamp set (available to customers on June 4) to create my card for today. It was a very easy card and took little time to create. So if you need a quick card give this one a try when you purchase the bundle on June 4.
My card starts with a Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock base. There are three mats, one being used as the background mat. I used Stampin’ Up! Whisper White and Night of Navy card stock for the first two mats. From the center of these two mats, the panel for the art piece and the mat for the art piece is cut. By cutting these two panels from the center of two mats that the center will never be seen, you are conserving card stock, plus the weight of the card as this will eliminate two additional pieces of card stock being added to the card. The first two mats and the background panel cut from the new Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper (DSP) (available June 4 to customers) are adhered using Liquid Multipurpose Glue.
The art panel is watercolored using the Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue watercolor pencil and a Stampin’ Up! Aqua Painter. After the watercolor dries, the sailboat image from the new Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home stamp set is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The sailboat is colored using the Stampin’ Up! Real Red watercolor pencil and the Aqua Painter. 
The rope across the top of the art piece is from the new Stampin’ Up! Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack. The greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set (carrying over to the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog) is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Real Red ink.
The inside sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. The sentiments are from the Stampin’ Up! Strong and Beautiful and Stampin’ Up! Well Said stamp sets.
The envelope flap gets a panel of the Come Sail Away DSP adhered to it using Liquid Multipurpose Glue.
