Summer is here and the ocean is calling. Utilize this fun background die to help create the perfect nautical scene card.
Today Maurilia has this charming nautical sea scape card for us, and we are obsessed. This coastal card comes together quickly using a lovely ocean pattern paper from the Brass and Bliss. This would make a perfect card for any male recipient. The greeting can easily be swapped for Father’s Day or Happy Birthday. Follow along as Maurilia walks us through this fun card creation.
- Choose the 2 of the same ocean pattern papers in the 2207 Tropical Dreams Paper Pad. One sheet will be die cut using 5833D Rippling Waves Cover Die and the other sheet will be cut to size behind the die cut so that both patterns align perfectly together. Adhere these two sheets with double sided tape along the perimeter and then attach to a folded card base.
- Die cut the lighthouse from light gray card stock as well as the sailboat base using 5739D Lighthouse and Sails Boats Die. Die cut the lighthouse accessories out of kraft, royal blue and black card stock. The lighthouse light should be cut of vellum and shaded in pale yellow using an alcohol mark. assemble and adhere all the lighthouse accessories. Die cut the sailboat sails out of gray stiped pattern paper and then assemble and adhere all boat pieces.
- On gray cardstock stamp a sentiment from 37024 Beachy Quotes in black ink. Place the ridge die from 5739D Lighthouse and Sails Boats Die directly above the sentiment to cut a rocky edge. Next simply square cut the sides and bottom of the sentiment.
- Finally assemble the card with your three elements. Place the sentiment in the lower right-hand corner above the darkest wave with foam tape for dimension. Tuck and adhere the lighthouse behind the sentiment mid-center. Place the sail boat on the left side of the card on the highest wave.
