- card from Gray Granite Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pacific Point Cardstock

- 1/2" x 3-1/4" from Pacific Point Cardstock
- 1-1/4" square from Gray Granite Cardstock
- 1" square from Very Vanilla Cardstock
Mount the long wave image from the On The Ocean Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Pacific Point Ink Pad. Stamp it on the vertical 4" x 5-1/4" Pacific Point rectangle so the right edge of the stamp goes off the right edge of the cardstock and the bottom of the stamp is about 1-1/2" from the bottom of the cardstock.
Mount the flying birds image from the On The Ocean Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Night Of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it on the right side of the vertical Pacific Point rectangle so the smallest bird is about 1/4" from the right edge and the bottom of the birds is about 1" above the previously stamped wave.
Pick out the open, long, skinny cloud die from the On The Ocean Dies. Put it on top of the white strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Adhere the cloud cut out to the top of the Pacific Point rectangle just above the stamped birds so it is mostly centered side to side.
Mount the sailing ship image from the On The Ocean Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Gray Granite Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the large Gray Granite rectangle.
Pick out the matching, open ship die from the On The Ocean Dies. Put it on top of the stamped ship on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Adhere the ship cut out to the left side of the Pacific Point rectangle so the left edge of the ship is about 1/8" from the left edge and the bottom of the ship is about 1-3/4" from the bottom of the rectangle.
Pick out the skull and crossbones die from the On The Ocean Dies. Put it on top of the small Very Vanilla square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed.
Mount the cloud image from the On The Ocean Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Gray Granite Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the skull and crossbones cut out. WITHOUT RE-INKING, move the stamp over and up a slight bit and stamp again.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the stamped skull and crossbones cut out to the center sail on the sailing ship.
Pick out the long, skinny, detailed wave die from the On The Ocean Dies. Put it on top of one long edge of the Sun Prints Designer Paper on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the top of the die is as close as possible to the top of the paper. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed. KEEP ALL THE PIECES!
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the very skinny, detailed wave cut out from the center of the cut out to the Pacific Point rectangle so the tops of the waves just overlap the bottom of the ship cut out a bit. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess designer paper on the left and right edges.
Flip the skinny wave cut out from the top of the cut out around so the waves are at the top of the piece. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the skinny wave cut out to the Pacific Point rectangle so the tops of the waves just overlap the bottom of the ship cut out a bit and also overlap the thin wave cut out a bit. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess designer paper on the left and right edges.
Use Stampin' Seal and Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the large piece of designer paper with waves cut out from the top edge to the Pacific Point rectangle so the tops of the waves just overlap the previous wave cut outs a bit. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess designer paper on the left, right, and bottom edges.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of the Night Of Navy 3/8" Bordered Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the stamped and layered designer paper/cardstock rectangle so it is about 1/2" from the bottom. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ends of the ribbon in place with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive. Leave the protective backings in place for now.
Mount the "hoping this year is full of adventure & excitement" sentiment from the On The Ocean Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Night Of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the thin Pacific Point strip.
Use a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the sentiment strip to adhere it to the left side of the ribbon on the stamped and layered designer paper/cardstock rectangle so it is centered over the ribbon and the left edge of the sentiment is near the left edge. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off excess cardstock on the left edge.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape strips on the back of the Pacific Point rectangle and add Stampin' Seal as needed. Adhere to the front of the Gray Granite card.
Mount the ship's wheel image from the On The Ocean Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Gray Granite Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small Gray Granite square.
Pick out the matching, open ship's wheel die from the On The Ocean Dies. Put it on top of the stamped ship's wheel on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Use a Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the ship's wheel cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the right end of the sentiment strip and is centered over the ribbon.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one small Very Vanilla dot from the sheet of Classic Matte Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the ship's wheel image on the card front.
