Looking for a nautical inspired card to send as encouragement or for a birthday? Check out this beautiful lighthouse card and pin it for your next project!
There’s something special about birthday cards that focus on joy rather than numbers, and that’s exactly what inspired this design. Our designer, Donna, is brining this stunning nautical design, and said, “The lighthouse represents guidance, strength, and joy as we celebrate another year for someone special, which is why I chose this for todays birthday card design”. We love it!

- I began by die-cutting a teal, watery patterned paper from the 2008 Off The Grid 6×6 Paper Pad using the 5816-01D Netting Die to create the background panel.
- Next, I die-cut the lighthouse elements from white, teal, black, and kraft cardstock using the 5736D Lighthouse and Sail Boats Die.
- To create the lighthouse beam, I used yellow cardstock and repurposed one of the sail shapes from the sailboat die.
- To frame the scene, I die-cut a piece of teal cardstock with the 5821-03D Stitch Dot Nested Rectangle Die.
- I stamped the sentiment from 35015 Birthday Celebration Stamp Set onto the corner of the background panel.
- Finally, I adhered all of the elements together and mounted the completed panel onto an A2 sized card base.
