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”
Coastal Cabana – 4⅛ by 1⅛” x 2
Scrap Basic White

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.

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”

Using a Blending Brush, Blueberry Bushel ink was added to the ‘sky’ around the boat. Coastal Cabana ink was added to the ‘sea’ using a Sponge Dauber. The birds were stamped with memento Tuxedo Black ink and the panel was glued to the Blueberry Bushel layer. This was added to the Poppy Parade card base on Dimensionals.

We tucked the 3 strips of coloured card under the upper right side of the raised panel.

The sentiment, from the Darling Dinos was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink onto the 2⅛” by ⅜” piece of Basic White card and added to the card front.

Blueberry Bushel ink was lightly added above the sea using a Blending Brush and a trio of birds were added with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The panel was then glued to the Blueberry Bushel layer and then to the Coastal Cabana card front.

I die cut a medium sized boat from scrap Blueberry Bushel card and sails from scrap Poppy Parade card and adhered the two pieces together. The boat was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
