About
Nautical card
Why not make a quick and easy nautical themed greeting card suitable for all sailors and ideal for those tricky men and boys birthdays. By scoring and folding red card a base is made on to which hand made embellishments such as flags, anchor and seagull are added. The die cut letters spell "Ahoy" for the nautical theme but this can be customised to any message you wish.
