Cut cardstock, designer paper, and Foil Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a cutting and scoring tool:
- card from Night of Navy Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Sahara Sand Cardstock
- 2" x 4" from blue and brown ropes with knots on light tan background design from Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper
- 2-3/4" x 3-3/4" from Night of Navy Cardstock
- 2-3/4" x 3-3/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 2" from Copper Foil Sheets
Mount the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home Set on Block I. Ink it up with the Soft Suede Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Very Vanilla rectangle.
Pick out the smooth oval die from the Layering Ovals Dies that cuts out an oval that is 2-3/8" wide. Put it on top of the stamped lighthouse rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so it is centered over the lighthouse (you may cut off some of the rocks at the base of the lighthouse). Run through the tool.
Pick out the scalloped oval die from the Layering Ovals Dies that cuts out a scalloped oval that is 2-9/16" wide. Put it on top of the Night of Navy rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool.
Adhere the lighthouse oval to the center of the scalloped navy oval.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the piece of Come Sail Away Designer Paper on the bottom of the Sahara Sand rectangle. WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the matted lighthouse oval on the piece of Sahara Sand so it overlaps the top of the designer paper on the left side.
Mount either the "thanks" or "congrats" sentiment from the Sailing Home Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it on the Sahara Sand rectangle just above the designer paper on the right side of the lighthouse ovals.
Mount the set of three flying birds image from the Sailing Home Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Soft Suede Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the Sahara Sand rectangle.
Adhere the piece of designer paper to the bottom of the stamped Sahara Sand rectangle.
Cut two pieces of Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine each 5" long.
Lay the twine pieces across the cardstock/designer paper layers so they cover the seam between the two. Flip the cardstock over and fold the ends of the twine over. Adhere the ends of the twine in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the Sahara Sand cardstock. Adhere it to the front of the Night of Navy card.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the lighthouse ovals to the front of the card on the left side.
Pick out the anchor die from the Smooth Sailing Dies. Put it on top of the Copper Foil Sheets piece on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool.
Place the anchor cut out upside down (foil side down) on top of a plate on your die cutting and embossing tool. Put another plate on top. Run through the machine. Repeat a couple of times. This will distress the anchor cut out by adding scratches.
Thread a small piece of Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine through the hole in the top of the anchor and tie it in place with a knot. Trim the ends.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the anchor cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle so the top is even with the baker's twine on the card front and overlaps the bottom right side of the lighthouse ovals a bit.
