I used a few of the new diesets on this card, including Happy Birthday- Lorna Label Pop up, Boat Pop Up, Sailboat Add on, and the Set Sail Borders. All the other dies used will be listed at the bottom.

All the fun is in the reveal, to see this card in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page, or TikTok 😊

I die cut the pieces from the Boat Pop up and the Sailboat add on, I rubbed Versa Mark ink along the boat pieces to add texture. I made a mistake on the first sail. I tried to do an ombré look using the stencil feature in the die with alcohol markers and as you can see it didn’t work. So I used a red pen with the die then coloured with alcohol markers. I used a white gel pen to add highlights. Assemble the boat (Karen will have a video tutorial on the product page at the link ⬆️ )

So I had to figure out how to make the Happy Birthday Lorna Label add on into a shaker card. It took some tweaking but it turned out great.

I cut 4 labels from Kraft cardstock, and 3 from white, cut the centers out of all but one of each colour. I adhered the labels one on top of each other starting with a Kraft one and ending with a white with the words still attached (see ⬇️)

I die cut the “Happy Birthday” from white, and used the same red alcohol markers and coloured the words with an ombré effect. I layered the “Happy Birthdays” that I cut out of the centers and added the red letters to those then added to the label. I added shading with a Versa Mark Marker, and highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen. I cut the acetate window using a die from the Lorna Label Pop up. This is where I made a mistake. I used the same liquid glue to add the acetate piece to the labels stack but it didn’t hold. So I used a thin sticky strip to add the acetate to the label stack. It was a bit tricky but I got it to work. But the sticky strip was hard to hide. Soooo it was going to be even more visible if I added it to the top layer as well so I decided to cut a another label from Kraft cardstock WITH Sizzix double adhesive on the back. I added this piece on top of the acetate then the top label on top of this piece. Sorry so confusing. If I were doing this again I would have had the double sided adhesive on both pieces that would be in contact with the acetate.

I diecut a large red, and the next down in white of the Circles Crosshatch. I cut the centre out of the red one as it will be covered anyway. I dug in my stash and found blue and silver sequins, and covered with the label shaker lid that I made. It bothered me that I could still see some of the adhesive around the label so I added twine around the frame. I actually really think it adds to the nautical look. 

The cardbase is 5 1/2” x 11” scored @ 5 1/2”. The 4 navy squares are 5 1/4” square with the centers cut out. The 4 white squares are 5” square. Layer and add to the front back and inside. The anchors and ships wheels are from the Set Sails Borders. I added shading with a Versa Mark Marker, and highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen. The shaker is the center of attention and I added the floaty from the Cruise Charms and a few of the blue and silver sequins.

I wanted to use this blue paper but I only had this much of it so I cut 2 panels to 3 1/2” x 4 3/4” and I sponged the edges with a darker ink, then added the boat.

I punched out 5 sets of red and white circles, 1” and 3/4” and layered. I added them and a layered a set of circles crosshatch as shown. I added them to the card with pieces from the Set Sails borders, small floating from the Sailboat add on, the “80” is cut from the Mini Alphabet & Numbers. The Large anchor is from the Cruise Charms. The Stars are from the Surprise Ball pop up. I added a few of the sequins around the anchor.

Thanks for joining me! I am a paper crafting enthusiast who has a special interest in interactive cards. I get a lot of inspiration from the internet so I thought that I  would throw out my own creations with hope that it inspires someone else.

  6. Hi Nicky. I love your card. The Sailboat is so pretty and all your red and white stripes on the sail match perfectly 🙂

    I love how you darkened the edges of the blue paper to ground the water. That is a great tip.

  42. Love all your detail! And your determination to use the blue paper for the water on the inside of your card! Sounds like something I would do if I only had so much of the perfect paper. 🙂 A very nautical looking card in the end!!
