Good Tuesday morning. I have a fun clean and simple nautical themed card to share with you today using the Impression Obsession Mini Nautical Set , Sailboats set and Alphabet Plain Upper Case and Lower Case. These images are so cute and I thought they would be perfect cut in red and layered over crisp white and navy squares.
I started by creating the thin outline frame for the outer area of the card front and attached it to the base with thin strips of mounting tape. I cut the six square layers in both white and blue, attached them together with mounting tape and then attached them to the card base with ATG adhesive.
I attached the images to the squares with thin strips of mounting tape to pop them up for one more layer of dimension. I attached the letters to the square using Crafter’s Pick glue because I knew it would be invisible when it dried. I held each letter with my tweezers, lightly tapped the back of the letters lightly in the glue to gather just a touch and then secured in place.
This was a fun and fast project to make. It’s not my norm but I had this vision in my head and had to get on a card front.
Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great day.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”

Love it, this is the perfect nautical card! Red, white and blue with a clean, crisp look. Kittie, your work is so inspiring…I’m taking notes from the master!
Love your nautical card Kittie. Especially like the way you chose to mount each individual item, it looks lovely. You surely can create anything, I mean anything and make it look stunning, what a talent you have.
Great Card! I love the red white and blue nautical look. Gotta have those dies! Thanks for the great inspiration.
Good Afternoon, a wonderful nautical theme. I picture this too as a piece quilt for a summer cottage, or summer accents. I love these little dies an added to my wish list. ….sooo cute, love it.
Fantastic nautical/summer card, Kittie! Like your design and the die cuts are awesome. 🙂
This card is so perfect for a male, I have learned boys/men are the most difficult to make really interesting. You hit it out of the park with this one. TFS.
Kittie, A few questions. Size f card? Size of squares?
I missed meeting you in Orlando yesterday.
Hi Julie, the card size is 5.50″ x 4.25″. I have that listed down at the bottom of my post. I don’t exactly what size the squares are but I think about one inch. I don’t have the card anymore so I can’t measure. I hope this helps. Sorry I didn’t get to meet you. I had a great time and met so many wonderful people.
