Hi Everyone.
Happy Tuesday night. Very quick post for you tonight.
If you haven't gotten the idea that I love the new "The Open Sea" set yet, you might do after you see yet another card made with it! 🙂
I really do love this set and couldn't wait to try this card that was shown in the Stampin' Up! demo only magazine. I saw it, fell in love with it, and couldn't wait to recreate it. So, I cannot take any credit for the design! CASE from start to finish!
Well… I did change one thing….the color of the baker's twine. On the original, they used the crumby cake colored baker's twine – I chose the red. I love the fact that it uses so many elements from the set and that there is a little bit of distressing.
Card recipe – all ingredients Stampin' Up!
- Card stock: Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla
- Stamps: The Open Sea. Sentiment is from the Thank you Kindly set
- Inks: Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Early Espresso, More Mustard, Basic Gray
- Accessories: Baker's Twine, Vintage Brad
On a personal note:
Long, long, long week this week. It's only the end of Tuesday and I have already done nearly 30 hours work in the last two days. I just wish that at the end of it I felt as though I had accomplished anything! I really need a bumper sticker that says… I'd rather be stamping! 🙂
Yesterday was the MOST glorious day. The temps were around 60 degrees. I got to spend 10 minutes at lunch time and then another 10 minutes in the afternoon, sitting on the deck, soaking up the sun, the warmth, the breezes, the sounds of the garden. Perfection. Today… rain. So, the only soaking that went on today, was the grass soaking up the rain!
Talking about rain….. my prayers for those affected by the flooding, the tornadoes and the terrible storms that continue to ravage parts of the US. My heart goes out to all those people who have been affected. Prayers, too, for those of you who need a warm hug or a quick lift tonight.
I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday. Filled with peace, love and laughter.
Hugs
Jaydee

A very well done CASE, Jaydee. I agree with you that the red and white baker’s twine is better than the crumb cakey one.
I’m SO happy to hear you were able to get out and enjoy some gorgeous weather–even if only for a few minutes. And that rain you’re getting? I’d love it if you could send some our way. I’m out dousing my shrubs every night since we have had only about an inch of rain total for the month of April. Ack!
My prayers for those in the storm ravaged areas. You are right, they’ve been utterly devastating. :o(
I hope you have another beautiful day tomorrow so you can enjoy your deck and unwind after another busy day. Hang in there. Tomorrow’s Hump Day!
Hugs!
Ahh, what a day it has been today as I am just finished with my day’s work. And to see your artwork tonight is a bonus. You did it again, I have to have this stamp set. I am sold :o) Thank you for taking the time out to share your artwork. Very nicely done.
CASE or not – it’s just fabulous! A perfect card and I think maybe for either a male OR female! Just great.
Send some of that nice weather down to Texas. We got up to 101 day and haven’t had rain since last year – like October or November….Very dry and hot here!

Fabulous card, Jaydee! This month’s Stampin’ Success is filled with such wonderful cards! I love the Baker’s Twine!
Fab card Jaydee..if only I was that good about casing. Ohio is getting lots of rain, but at least it is warmer. Have a great day!
