My Granddaughter asked me to make a birthday card for her boyfriend. He loves his boat and fishing. Any ideas of nice stamps that have boats, anchors , fishing gear , etc?
Thanks
Barbara Jay

Whipper Snapper Designs has several sets of cute boating and fishing or individual stamps. I have the "Great Outdoors" set and it has a truck pulling a camp trailer and a boat. "Hooked on Fishing" has a chicken fishing in a boat and is so cute!
Flourishes recently released a fishing set for Father's Day. The stamps have a lot of detail and aren't cutesy, like Whipper Snapper.
I spoke again to my Grand daughter and she wants a "Nautical Theme " She is having a Nautical theme for his Birthday party
Pick' ins are slim!!
The only one I found that is nice is Gina K's set with the light house.
Flourishes has one but it is a large old fashioned sail boat. He has a speed boat
She doesn't want a paddle boat with a fisherman
There are no speed boats or nice old fashioned compasses . With Father's Day on Sunday most places are out of stamps with decorative boat anchors. No stamps with sailors knots
Who'd have thunk it that it would be so difficult to find Nautical theme stamps

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. I really appreciate it ! I found some stamps that will work great. When get the stamps and finish the card I will post it in the gallery

Barbara Jay, I have a card in my gallery with a PSX sailboat image (the stamp is retired). If you like, I would be glad to stamp and mail some images to you.
My card has the link for the instructions for the sailor's knot - very easy to make, and very appropriate!

Reason: Add'l info
Thanks also for the link to the tutorial for the Sailor's Knot. I think I am going to make the card in Easel style so the Sailor's Knot on the bottom piece that holds it open will be perfect.
Lisa's card for her boyfriend has become a group effort LOL
I will post it when I finish it
