Summer Sailing Card – Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are having ‘fun in the sun’. I have chosen to make my card using the Sunrise Sailing stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the summer sailing card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Basic Black card – 4½” by 2½”

 

Using the largest stitched square from the Stylish Shapes Dies I die cut a square near the top of one of the panels of Basic White card. I laid the die cut stitched square to one side and placed the negative panel over the remaining panel of the same side, holding it in place with tape from my stash.

I added Azure Afternoon ink with a Blending Brush along the bottom third of the die cut hole. Coastal Cabana ink was then brushed onto the upper two thirds over the masked moon. I stamped the ‘water across the inked square in 1st and 2nd generation Azure Afternoon ink. The mask was then removed, and a little Lemon Lolly ink was added to the colour the sun. The two panels were then separated.

Sunrise Sailing Classes

Today I am sharing the cards I designed for my May 2025 classes using the Sunrise Sailing stamp set, embossing folder and dies.

Colours used to make these cards are:

 

Arched card

Blueberry Bushel card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5” by 3¾” x 2
Basic White – 2⅛” by ⅜”

Using the largest arch from the Everyday Arches Dies I cut the Blueberry Bushel card base. The trick is to place the die with the left-hand cutting edge overhanging the fold of the card front. I also die cut 2 smaller arches form the 5” by 3¾” panels of Basic White card saving one for the inside of the card.

Blueberry Bushel ink was lightly added to the remaining white arch using a Blending Brush.

From the 2 strips of Coastal Cabana card we die cut the wavy edges and adhered them to bottom of the inked arch, one above the other to form the sea.

The boat was stamped on scrap Basic White card using Blueberry Bushel ink, the inside colour added to the sails with Poppy Parade ink and the boat body stamped with Coastal Cabana ink. The boat was then die cut using the Sunrise Sailing Dies. We also die cut a couple of clouds from the same scrap card.

The boat was then mounted onto the decorated arch on Dimensionals. The clouds were added flat and the excess trimmed off. The birds were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The arch was then glued to the card front.

The sentiment, from the Darling Dinos was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink onto scrap Basic White card. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front.
