Quick & Easy Sunset Silhouette Retirement Card with the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Bundle

Hi Friends!

Today I’m sharing the third card in my featured series using the Sunrise Sailing hybrid bundle, and it also happens to be another project in my Sunset & Silhouette series. If you love creating dramatic scenes with minimal fuss, this one’s for you.

This quick and easy retirement card came together beautifully thanks to the Full of Life designer paper, which does all the heavy lifting in the background. That gorgeous gradient gives serious sunset vibes without needing any inky blending. I kept the rest of the design simple and striking by layering die-cut sailboats from the Sunrise Sailing hybrid bundle in Basic Black cardstock to create those crisp, bold silhouettes.

A few Strawberry Slush and Pretty In Pink gems add a perfect touch of sparkle without overpowering the scene. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock, keeping everything clean and classic.

If you’re short on time but still want that wow factor, this sunset silhouette handmade card is a great go-to. Perfect for a retirement card or really any occasion that calls for calm, classy, and coastal.

You’ll find the full video tutorial below so you can follow along and create one of your own. I’d love to see what you make using this bundle.
