Twofer Card Challenge #19 Nautical

https://twofercardchallenge.blogspot.com/2019/08/twofer-card-challenge-19.html

I'll be spending time with my friend Bobby next week... she has invited me to a sleepover at her cottage, and I can't wait!!  It was all the inspiration I needed to get busy with this nautical challenge before I start packing!

The Twofer girls have each tantalized us with terrific twofers, too … say that five times [Coni!].  I have two boat-loads of fun pups to play!!


You know the drill, right?  same set, two different cards, for two different occasions.  Based on that sentiment, one would have to guess the occasion on this first one.  You'll have to trust me on this one... it's a thanks for the encouragement card - but I'm not showing the inside 'cuz it might spoil someone's surprise!!

 
I'm normally not a glitter girl, but Sandie sent me this
wonderful glittery fun foam, and I think it's brilliant
used as my ocean!
 


Twofer #2 is a BELATED birthday card … for a guy that we love, but seem to forget until my Tom's birthday comes around.  I think I'll just make it an annual thing - then send one on time as a little zinger!!  lol

Inside:
"well.  it WAS your birthday!
I get the sinking feeling I'm extra late this year!"
 
So very grateful you stopped by today... thanks boat loads!!

OK, you've been holding out on me! LOVE this image and will have to stamp a few next week, pretty PLEASE??!! I love both your cards....that sparkly foam looks SO cool on your first card, and the sentiment on the 2nd card just cracks me up!! Wonderful cards Michele!! :0)

Michele your seafaring pups are darling. The fun foam makes fab sparkly waves. Your belated birthday card in the gray tones gives a feeling of remorse. Nice. Thanks so much for playing along at Twofer Card Challenge.

Bonnie said...

LOL! Both of these are such fun, Michele! Love that glittered foam! Who would have thought? And a fabulous masculine card!

conil said...

Preponderance of pure puppy playfulness...thanks for the tongue twisting tease. No kidding, both cards are a delight. Love the sparkly foam on the first and the inside sentiment on the second card. I smell winners.

Cornelia (fun stamping) said...

Those cards are fabulous! Although that overcrowded boat reminds me about asylum seekers, crossing the sea in unfit boats....and those dogs do look a bit worried, too.... LOVE the holy ship sentiment!

Wow, these are both really fun! Love the puppy stamps! xx Linda

These are soooo much fun Michele, you know, now I 'need' to see what's inside the card..... wink.

You are one punny girl, M! Great idea to use this boatload of silly dogs as your nautical element for both of these fun cards, impeccably made as always! That glitter foam works beautifully as ocean water and I love the red, white, and blue colors! Your second card makes me wonder ... did they just come out of that scary tunnel or are they just about to go in?? And I LOVE the sediment ~ perfect for the recipient! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #19! Hugs, Darnell

Darnell said...

p.s. Have a fun sleepover with the Bobster! Give her a hug from me!!

Lisa Elton said...

Well these are just oodles of FUN!! That big guy looks a little unsure, perhaps he's afraid he'll rock the boat haha!!

Lisa Elton said...

Oops, forgot to tell you to have FUN at Bobby's!

TK said...

Fabulous cards, adorable puppers! Have fun with Bobby, I"ll be thinking of you two having a fabulous time!

Ros Crawford said...

Oh Michelle these are terrific!! Love them both! Have a fabulous break!

Jeanne said...

What a great twofer, Michele! Holy Ship! I gotta remember that! Great job on both cards and have a fantabulous time with your friend!

JulieP said...

I am going to have to find time to play along with this one. I love the concept!!!

Holy Ship! (love that sentiment) your cards are so cute.

Kara Lynne said...

Those two ships full of pooches are awesome! So clever to use that glittery foam for your water. Doubly clever to have them going into the abyss with that "sinking feeling" - lol! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!

Papercraft Boutique said...

Both cards are so fun but different, Michele! Love the way you tuck the boat in the waves. I especially love the belated birthday card. Sinking feeling, plus it took forever for the lost dogs to get to the land to send the b-day message, right?
Have a fun sleepover at Bobby's cottage next week!

Oh those pups! I love these cards........and those glittery blue waves are fabulous!

My Paper Epiphany said...

Two very fun cards! I love the sentiment on the second card 😂 Have fun with Bobby!

Mac Mable said...

You always come up with brilliant and unique ides and the both cards are unique, wonderful and fun x Didn't know you could get glittered foam.....Also looking forward to seeing what is inside the SOS card in due course x

Chris Dring said...

Two fabulously fun cards! Love that boatload of doggies image!

Barb Ghig said...

Oh my gosh, Michele...your little pups are too cute! Great job coloring them and I love your glittery fun foam :) Fantastic twofer, girlfriend!!!

Anita in France said...

These boatloads of pooches are just so fun, Michele! That glittery, wavy ocean they're bobbing about on is delicious ... such a great balance for the scripty red sentiment at the top! I'm guessing they're sailing out of the dark tunnel on your belated birthday card ... that's how come they can send those best wishes ... bit tricky from inside a watery cave!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer ... and have a splendid time at the cottage with Bobby! Give one another a hug from me! Hugs, Anita :)

Happy Dance said...

Oh how wonderful that you and Bobby get to hang out! That sounds like the perfect way to pass the lazy "dog days" of summer (sorry...couldn't help it...). I do like the glittery ocean on your first card, but I'm crazy for the waves on your second one! Very cool. Fun image with all those pups in that boat. Hope they brought enough treats along for their voyage. Love the colors on both cards, and especially the grays. Funny/naughty sentiment cracks me up, too. Enjoy your time with Bobby and send my love; wishing I was there with you both. Hey! Maybe the dogs will stop and give me a ride across the Lake! Thanks for joining us at the Twofer Challenge my friend. xo Bev

Sharron said...

Don't know if you trip is over but hope you have/had a wonderful time! Adore these pooches with your wonderful wavy scenes! Gosh, now I need another stamp!

Lisa Petrella said...

Oh my goodness! These cards are so super cute and totally fun!!!
