An anchor is the one non-creature motif – the symbol every sailor knows, straight out of a tattoo. This ornate edition adds scrollwork and a heavier border, so it reads as a formal panel rather than a quick craft.

What’s Inside
- Anchor · Ornate — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Anchor · Ornate. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. A central shank with a curved stock at the top, two curved arms and a pointed fluke at the bottom. Everything is straight or a shallow curve, so a craft knife gives crisp edges quickly and it reads as a classic nautical emblem. This ornate edition adds scrollwork and a heavier border, so it reads as a formal panel rather than a quick craft.
Three Ways to Use It
1. Cut it with a Cricut or Silhouette
The file is closed-path vector art with no overlapping lines, exactly what cutting software expects. Scale to your cardstock and cut from 80 gsm upward; a fine-point blade handles it cleanly.
2. Cut it by hand
Print at 100%, staple the sheet to a folded square of paper, and cut through both layers. Most people finish in well under half an hour.
3. Trace and colour
The line-art sheet doubles as a colouring and tracing page, a ready-made activity for classroom or family craft time.
Materials
Red cardstock or origami paper (80–160 gsm) · scissors or a craft knife · a printer · double-sided tape. Add a Cricut or Silhouette if you would rather not cut by hand.
Best For
Coastal kitchens, boat cabins, nautical gift cards and sailor-themed windows.
