I had SO much fun creating with these new sets. I love all map-related things so I couldn’t wait to dig in and get started with these! My first card is exactly what I had envisioned creating with these products…don’t you love when that happens?
[imagelinks id=”140″]
I used the Rectangle Map die here and turned it at an angle to cut just a portion of it from the upper right corner of a panel of watercolor paper. Once that was cut, I watercolored the panel with shades of blue, and also incorporated some tan along the “coastline”/edge of the map to look like sand. I watercolored a second panel with shades of green to put underneath for the “land” portion of the map. Then I filled my map with all sorts of the little icons from the Destination: Summer set. So fun to do!
My next card is another summery take on the map theme. This time I used the Waterfront Map die.
[imagelinks id=”141″]
I placed a couple of sailboats in the water section of the die, and filled in the other areas with icons from both the Destination and Destination: Summer sets. The Destination set is filled with more basic and geographical icons that can work alone or be combined with the Summer set. For the sentiment, I diecut the smaller frame from the Postal Frames die and placed it at an angle in the corner, trimming off the excess.
For my next two projects, I wanted to keep them a little simpler and more masculine. For this one I used the Destination Map Stencils to create the background.
[imagelinks id=”142″]
I used the rectangle map from the set, turning it at different angles to completely fill my background with stenciled maps. I sponged over the stencil with several shades of green Oxide inks. Then I stamped the trees and mountains from the Destination set using a dark grey ink. I also added a couple of river diecuts, cut using the Destination die set. For the focal point I pulled out the Nordic Frames dies and used the smallest frame from the set. I stamped more trees and mountains, and also included the heart and sentiment from the Destination set.
My last card is also quite simple to create. I started by cutting the Round Map die from a panel of white cardstock.
[imagelinks id=”143″]
I layered this diecut panel over my card base, and used a pencil to lightly mark the position of the map. I then used these pencil lines as guides for adding some ink blending and also stamped trees, mountains, and the lake and river. Once I had the under-panel looking like I wanted, I adhered the diecut map panel over the top and added the heart and miss you sentiment, both from the Destination set.
I had so much fun creating these projects! I hope you enjoyed checking them out as much as I enjoyed creating them!
