Hi everyone! Ahoy! SOOOO excited about all the fun comments and activity yesterday on the bloggy blog! Seems like a lot of you are really into feeling nautical right now too! (I said nautical not naughty!) Thanks for coming on by to see what day two has in store!
Today's cards are of the CAS variety….lots of white space…and some cool stamps! It's sometimes hard for me to leave all that white space, but I'm working on it. After I made all my cards for this week, I noticed that I stamped two of them with the sentiment "hello there!" So that's the theme for today's part of nautical week. LOL.
My first card was made with a new stamp set and matching dies from Papertrey Ink. I think I'm in love…sigh… How neat is all that swirly writing? And, in gold ink? To die for! Love how the dies cut exactly around the frame too. I went with the can't fail color combo of navy and gold! I had that sparkly paper in my stash and wanted to use it!!
That star stamp is the teeeeeeniest little stamp ever! Love it!
Here is a side view of my layers….and sparkles….
Next up is a wild octopus under the sea! This is a great stamp from Paper Source. They are really into nautical right now too! LOL. I stamped him in bright red and then the did my sentiment, which is from WPlus9. I added some blings for bubbles and popped some aqua paper with it. I love aqua and red, always.
One way to add some interest to your CAS cards is to place each layer on foam tape. Simple but yet refined I think.
So that's it for day two! Tomorrow I think we'll do shabby-chic-beach-nautical day! Yeah, that sounds good! Have fun with me all week…and don't forget to leave a comment! XO

You know I LOVE anything naughty I mean NAUTICAL!! Great cards as usual. Thanks for the inspiration. You rock!
I think these are two fabulous cards. Loving the gold and blue and the simplicity of the card. The little red octopus is so cute, just reaching out to say Hello. Again simple but charming! Love em’ both!!
Two great cards. I love the accents (gold anchor, bubbles with bling) and the color schemes.
Oh, Wanda, you’ve done it again…Great card especially the anchor one. Want to get the set. Love the S.S. Wanda, too.
Okay I love Oscar the Octopus – don’t know if that is his name but that is what I am going to call him! Let’s do lunch or early dinner soon at PX.
That octopus looks great in red! The cards would be perfect to give to men (or me). I really like them.
that red is wonderful for the octopus. the swirly writing is so cheerful. your cards are wonderful.
Whatever the style, your designs are always BRILLIANT, my friend! Love these!
Fabulous Wanda!! LOVE the Blue, Sparkly gold and white on your first one! Soo Classy! and your blingy bubbles are so fun with your Fab octopus too! 😎
