Nautical Snoopy Card


 I have been looking for Peanuts or Snoopy stamps with a nautical theme.  Haven't been able to find any.  But I got lucky at our local outlet store.  While looking through the books section, I found a Snoopy coloring book with the perfect nautical image in it.  Scanned the image into my computer, colored the image in Gimp.  Then opened all the pieces including the By The Sea Papers (Designs by dani from Snap Click Supply) in Silhouette Studio.  Printed them and cut out with my Cameo.  This is for the teenage boys at the children's charity.

By The Sea Card

I am working on another package of cards for the children's charity and have lots of cards for the girls in the box, but very few cards for the boys.  I selected a nautical theme for some cards which I thought would work well for the older boys.  This kit is called By The Sea.  Bought it last week at the One Buck Wednesday Sale at Snap Click Supply.  Used the red stripe frame, the banner and the lighthouse from the elements pack and the map paper from the paper pack.  Traced and cut out all the pieces with my Silhouette Cameo.
