Set Sail for Adventure with a Handmade Nautical Card

Hello crafty friends!  In this week's craft post we are setting sail into a wave of creativity with the gorgeous  Spellbinder's die set "Set Sail" from the Fair Winds Collection (no longer available).  This set is perfect for crafting a delightful, ocean-inspired handmade card for summer greetings, birthdays,  Father's Day and anyone who loves the water!

Also used in this set is  Spellbinder's "Tunnel Clouds"  to create the sun.

I created this card when I saw the Splitcoaststamper's sketch SC1121.  The sketch reminded me of waves so I wanted to create a nautical card with it. 

To make the card I started with a dark blue piece of cardstock then I hand cut a lighter blue for the "wave" and glued it on top of the dark blue.

Once I had the base of the card completed I simply cut out all the die pieces from the two Spellbinder's sets, glued them together, and then adhered it onto the card base to create my nautical scene.  I popped the sun up on dimensionals.

To keep true to the sketch, I added a sentiment from a retired Stampin' Up! set "Live Like You Mean It" and then stuck three epoxy dew drops near the sentiment.

 Whether you're crafting for an avid sailor or just sending a little sunshine, a nautical card is the perfect way to anchor your warmest wishes.  Happy crafting, and may you always have fair winds and following seas in your craft room.

Have A Great Day!  Amy
