Fair Winds

One of the themes for the recent StampNation Beach Vacation was “Anchors Away,” and as nautical is one of my favorite summer card themes, I couldn’t resist playing along. It is already starting to feel like fall here in the Pacific Northwest, and with all of the new stamping product releases with fall and holiday themes, I’m not likely to make another nautical card this year.

I embossed the die cut tag with a nautical Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder. The WPlus9 Design sentiment was stamped with Stampin’ Up navy ink and die cut with a Spellbinder circle die. The medallion behind it was stamped with Stampin’ Up red ink and also die cut with a Spellbinders die. The anchor was cut from matte silver cardstock. The patterned paper is from the Carta Bella “Ahoy There” collection. I cut the patterned paper with the stitched rectangle die in the Blueprints 13 set.
