Ahoy!

Ahoy!

Morning all!

I'm back today with a fun nautical card.

Waffle Flower had a fun (and very popular!) release last month that was beach/sea themed and while waiting for those items to be restocked I had a little rummage in my supplies for more nautical products.

The wonderful Nautical Notions and coordinating Ahoy word die from SugarPea Designs are currently heavily discounted here along with all other products from SugarPea Designs.

So to set the scene for my card, I started out by creating a nautical striped background with half-inch strips of white and Blueberry cardstock.

The Nautical Notions layering dies are easy to assemble - I love the little details like the stripes for the yacht sail, the wave edge, the elements for the crab (so you can add inking for the body and pincers), and the rope for the life ring. Just so well-thought-out.

The Ahoy word die also comes with a shadow outline, making it super easy to add over other elements, with no fiddly 3D foam behind the thin lettering.

But the nautical theme doesn't stop there.

I wanted to turn this card into a Father's Day card, so I used another older stamp set from Avery Elle for the inside. The Swell stamp set includes a nautical frame that showcases various sentiments inside, including a Father's Day sentiment!

Perfect for this project!

Until next time, happy crafting!
