I almost forgot today was the 25th and I've been saving this birthday card to share with everyone for Papertrey's Blog Hop. This is my very first blog hop, so I am bit excited to see how it all works. This month's blog hop challenge was to share a birthday card. The purpose of a blog hop is to discover other paper craft bloggers and get inspiration of ideas using the same challenge. I hope you all enjoy this card for that special nautical person!
Create this simple masculine card by following these steps:
- Make card base by trimming aqua mist cardstock to 4.25" x 5.5" (a pre-scored white A2 card will serve as the card).
- Stamp boat on vanilla cardstock and cut out.
- Trim square from kraft cardstock.
- Stamp sentiment on vanilla cardstock.
- Adhere boat to kraft cardstock using dimensionals.
- Trim pure poppy cardstock and cut at an angle on one end.
- Using the remaining scraps from pure poppy cardstock, trim a flag to adhere to top of sail.
- Add hardware to top of kraft square + twine.
- Adhere everything to card base.

Ink: Stampin' Up!-chocolate chip
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink-pure poppy + aqua mist + kraft + vanilla
