Tips for Creating and Printing Your Nautical Menu Card

If you'd like to have your menu typed on to the menu card, just follow these few steps:
1. Select link above. Go to your browsers File Menu and select "Save As". Save image to your local computer.
2. Open an image editing program, and use the type tool to add your menu items. Create one list, then copy and paste this to the other two. Now print out file, and cut cards.

4. Another option is to first print out the menu card (blank) and cut out each card (they are 5x7 in size.) In MS Word, create a 5"x7" document. Leave a large margin around the edges as to not print on top of the nautical flag design. Type menu. Feed printed menu card through your printer and print out the MS Word document on top.
5. Lastly, a hand written menu is an easy option as well! Just select link above, print out on card stock and hand write menu!

I love a Nautical Party-- it's the perfect look for so many different occasions. Here's just a few ideas:

• a baby shower - perhaps at a little restaurant on the coast
• a little one's birthday - in your backyard dressed up with a sand area and a splash pool
• a bridal shower - to get guests in the mood for your beach destination wedding 
• a birthday celebration - to gather friends and have a picnic on the beach 
• an anniversary - to remember your amazing honeymoon cruise

you name it, the theme works!

I've had fun creating a Nautical Delight Inspiration Board over on Pinterest filled with inspiration from the sea and sailor life. So head on over to get your ocean fix and plan that next party!

Scrapbook Paper Ideas: Printed Envelope including Envelope Templates

Envelopes printed with Digital Scrapbook papers from B.Nute productions

There's nothing like a printed envelope to make your letter, invitation or thank you note stand out in the mail! Paying for printing of envelopes can be quite pricey-- so instead, just craft some on your own. All you need is some digital scrapbook papers (or printed if you'd like), an envelope template below, and just a little crafting time. Here are some simple instructions to make some fun envelopes.

Printed Envelope Templates

Select the links below and print out the appropriate sized envelope template for your invitation/card. You can print it out on regular white paper, or a light card stock will work too. (Note: A7 size envelope is for a 5x7 invitation, the smaller envelope template is for a 4x6 card, or photo if you'd like.)

Digital Scrapbook Papers printed on to Envelope Template:
Milk and Cookies Paper, Vintage Golf Paper and Sweet Treats Papers shown here

Put the envelope template back through your printer and this time print the digital scrapbook paper design. (Note: For A7 envelope, be sure to select "bleed" or print to edges if possible to get the most pattern on the paper.)

Now cut out the template on the black line. Next step, fold flaps on all sides.

Once our envelope is folded, use a little glue or glue stick on the edge flaps and seal sides. Let dry before stuffing with letter or invitation.

Once dry, put your card in, seal top flap, address and mail. If pattern is light enough, you can write the name and address on front, or you can use a white address label if you'd like.
