Since summer is just around the corner (at least here in Phoenix it is), I thought it would be fun to share another little mini-trend I have been following: it’s all things nautical. And, it really is a boatload of fun! (Sorry for the lame pun).
Check out these images.
My daughter Eloise would look adorable in this cute t-shirt.
Nautical themed wedding, anyone?
And, of course, we have some amazing product out there, too. This is the trendy Down by Shore collection from Fancy Pants Designs.
And, a few of my favorites from the awesome Uncharted Waters collection by Glitz Designs.
And who wouldn’t be inspired by this adorable Technique Tuesday stamp set called Banner Up?
Well, okay, I was definitely inspired. I created this nautical themed birthday card by stamping and embossing the cute flags.
Thanks for sharing this little ocean adventure with me! Stay nauti-cool!

That is such a great trend! I love that stamp set! Thanks for the chance to win!
We have a cottage on a lake so I am loving these nautical theme papers!
Your card is so cute! Who doesn’t love banners? That stamp set could be used in so many ways, as well.
I’m really into nauticals. So glad to find out it’s now a trend so I can abuse it! HA! (: Gorgeous shots!! Thanks for sharing…
Please Pick me !!!! I love the Nautical designs and colors!
This looks like a fun collection of papers and stamps. Great banner birthday card.
Love the water.
Love the card, those banners are so cute.. Beautiful collections, love the FP papers and stamp..
I love the card you made, that is a great stamp set. Thanks for sharing all the cool nautical items!
i LOVE this stuff! thanks for sharing!
Amazing card you made here, but I also just love the nautical theme and colors. They just scream sun and summer somehow, and that´s exactly what we all need right now.
Thanks for sharing I am definitely going to have to keep my eyes on the look out for those Glitz giant rhinestones – cute card too.
Oh how delightful! I got married on a ship. This collection would make a beautiful wedding album.
Super fun trend for summer. Love your nautical card, Kim!
What a cute set of banners! I love TT stamps! Thanks for the Nautical inspiration.
Yep, summer is coming sooner than we’d like here in PHX! What a cute collection of papers, like the nautical wedding idea, working on DD’s wedding, in Flagstaff in June, her theme is “summer garden” and all about being “green”.
Your “banner day” card used the products to the utmost. The Glitz products are a perfect color way for nautical-themed cards, but lots of them would be good cross-overs. The “corrugate papers” intrigue me.
What fun collections! And, your banner card is great! I think I will have to give that one a try. Thanks for sharing and thanks for a chance to win!
Love that stamp set. Adorable card too.
Love the Nautical theme! But of course I’m a retired U.S. Navy Sailor, (from Phoenix, even!), so I’m biased
I make many nautical themed cards especially for male birthdays.
Super cute banner card Kim!
That banner stamp set is sweet. And I love the Glitz wavy paper layers.
Love this trend!!! and your card is fabulous, thanks for sharing!
Have a wonderful day!
Adorable card. Really want to create a banner like that (seeing it everywhere). If you are loving the Nautical theme, you gotta check out Close to My Heart’s new kit, Tommy. It’s so on trend! http://fancymelissa.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=1891
Wow! Love the card, Kim.
Having grown up in Surf City (Huntington Beach) and still living in So Cal, I love the nautical themes! Thanks for highlighting some products I hadn’t seen!
I love nautical! The pennants make a really cute banner.
