A Nautical Themed Card 80th Birthday Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend?  Wasn't the weather awful on Saturday.I hope you are ready for the week ahead. We had a lovely time with our friends on Saturday. Hal Cruttenden was very funny. On Sunday we collected the hamper list from church and we sent it out to everyone in our group. We just have to wait and see what they want to contribute. This week and next I will be invigilating. This is for the Year 11 practice exams. One difference for me this time is that I will be in charge of a room. We will just have to see how that goes.

I was looking back through my files and I found a card ( I am sure there are many) that I hadn't shared.


This is the card I made for an old friend who was 80 back in October. To be honest it was a bit of a surprise to find out that he was 80.  His wife asked me to make a card for her to give him and I made this one  from us. He has worked on boats all his life so a nautical themed card was appropriate. The background paper came from a pad from the Works. 


This is a Crafter's Companion die. 


I made this little scene with Nautical Scenes Die Set  from Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine. The anchors at the bottom came from an old card. The 80th was cut with Crafter's Companion dies. 


There you have it. I will be sharing this blog post when I get back from invigilating. 

I would like to enter the following challenges: 

Have a great week. 


Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie
