I am enchanted with Sabrina Leavell‘s new nautical collection of pop-up stand cards. (See more pop-ups – Life Preserver and Ship’s Wheel by clicking on them.)

For this pop-up 3D card, I used products from Scrappy Tails’ new Nautical 2023 June Collection.

Base: Stamp on kraft paper the Caribbean Map Stamp. (To see the map colored with its coordinating layering stencils look at A Map To The Caribbean.) Cut two of the Pop Up Stand from the map. Train the folds on each piece and glue tabs with slot for rubber band together. Add rubber band. (I used a #12 band.)

Anchor: Cut two anchors from gold cardstock and two anchors from kraft cardstock using the large die from the Anchor die set. Trim the rope pieces from the gold anchors. Using the rope pieces in the die set, cut two sets of ropes from kraft cardstock. With a sponge dauber, ink the rope pieces to create shading. Glue the rope pieces to the kraft cardstock anchors. Next, glue gold anchors in place.

Sentiments: Three of the six hot foil banners in the Nautical Banner hot foil plates set were used – “Lets sail-ebrate!” and “Waving Hello.” (I usually do batch hot foiling with my Spellbinders’ Glimmer Foil System because it takes time to set-up, heat-up and cool-down.) The sentiment banners are attached to the anchors with foam squares after being cut out using the coordinating dies. “Ahoy!” was cut from navy blue cardstock from the Set Sail paper pad three times using a bonus gift die. Each “Ahoy!” was glued in place on the base and envelope. Gems and pearls from the Set Sail Card Kit were added to each anchor.

Envelope: The card folds flat to fit into an A7 envelope that I decorated the back flap with the the remaining “Ahoy!” and a scrap of gold rope.
