How to Make a Sizzix Nautical Card by Katie Skilton

Ahoy there!

Today I want to share a project with you from the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Ship Mates that will be featured on the Sizzix show on 27th October.

I am looking forward to bringing you some of your favourite dies.

Nautical themed projects are currently very popular and so I have designed a card that would also make a lovely picture for a home decor project.

Step 1
Trim 3 layers of cardstock, slightly smaller than the card blank.

Step 2
Die cut a circle into the centre of the white panel and create a circle frame so that the aperture is the same size as the one in the white panel.

Step 3
Trim a light blue panel and adhere a strip of dark blue.

Step 4
Adhere the blue panel behind the aperture using 3D foam pads. Attach all the layers together and adhere the frame to the front.

Step 5
Die cut the boat, wheel and anchor and adhere to the card. Add adhesive stones to embellish.

With dies like this you can allow them to do all the hard work and make beautiful projects very easily.

I look forward to bringing you this die set and many others on the 27th October!

See you then!

Katie
