Spellbinders | Set Sail Die-Cut Card

Hello! There’s nothing quite like the calming rhythm of waves and a sailboat on the open water–and that’s the feeling I aimed to capture with this nautical handmade card. Using products from Spellbinders, I created an scene framed by a Polaroid-style die cut. The sentiment “Relax and enjoy!” adds to the vibe, while the rope-textured dry embossed card base reinforces the theme. It’s a card that invites the recipient to take a breath and imagine the salty breeze.
