How to Create a Quick and Easy Sunrise Sailing Card Tutorial You Can't Miss!

Hi Friends!

Ahoy, crafty friends! I set sail in the craft room during my Monday live stamping demonstration with this serene and sunny Best Wishes card, created using the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Bundle. This bundle is perfect for capturing peaceful nautical vibes and summer adventures, and I loved how this card came together.

We used soft seaside colors, a bright sun to anchor the design, and detailed sailboats that look like they're gliding right into a new beginning. The stamped and die-cut elements work beautifully together in the hybrid bundle, making this a go-to for masculine cards, retirement cards, birthday wishes, or even just to say “thinking of you.”

If you missed the live session, no worries—I’ve linked the full video tutorial below so you can craft along with me anytime. I share step-by-step instructions and tips for layering, ink blending, and getting crisp, clean results with this bundle.

This card is part of my ongoing Sunset & Silhouette Series, where I feature bold silhouettes and dramatic skies to create high-impact cards with easy techniques.

So grab your crafty supplies and join me for a relaxing sail through paper and ink. I hope this project inspires you to create your own coastal scenes with the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Bundle.

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.

Supplies used:
Sunrise Sailing hybrid bundle
Full of Life designer paper
Strawberry Slush gems

Sailing Into Sparkle with the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Bundle and Glimmer Paper Technique

 Hi Friends!

Wish you could bottle that peaceful, beachy vibe and turn it into a card?

This one’s for my shimmer lovers! I played with the brand new Sunrise Sailing Bundle—launching May 6th—and instantly felt those coastal breezes roll in. Add in a glimmer paper technique that makes the ocean waves dance, and this project became pure seaside magic.

This clean and classy card is perfect for summer birthdays, retirement celebrations, or just sending a little sunshine. The layered sailboats, sparkly water, and beautifully embossed background created with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder come together to make a truly eye-catching design. The circle focal point adds just the right frame for those crisp white sails and dreamy blue tones.

No hybrid embossing required here—just the Sunrise Sailing stamp set and coordinating dies. I love how easy it is to get a polished, dimensional look with just a few passes through the die-cut machine and a little glimmer magic.

Sail Into Summer with the New Sunrise Sailing Bundle: Classic Nautical Card with Hybrid Embossing Folder Tips

 Hi Friends!

If you’ve got a soft spot for sea-themed cards and love that classic nautical look, then you are going to be absolutely smitten with the brand new Sunrise Sailing bundle from Stampin’ Up! © This fresh release goes live on May 6, but I gave it a head start during my latest live stamping demonstration—and let me tell you, it made waves!

This card is a crisp and classy combo of white and Night of Navy, capturing that clean, coastal vibe we all adore. The design is anchored by the hybrid embossing folder included in the bundle, which is where the magic really happens. I used it in two different ways during the demonstration. First, I showed how to use it simply as a traditional embossing folder to create gorgeous textured backgrounds that instantly elevate your card front. Then, I demonstrated how you can take it up a notch by stamping, then die cutting, and embossing the sailboat image all at once. It’s a total game-changer, especially for those of us who love dimension without all the extra steps!

This handmade card is filled with those “wow” details but still has that timeless, tailored feel—perfect for masculine cards, summer birthdays, retirement celebrations, or just sending a breezy “thinking of you.” It’s a stunning way to showcase the Sunrise Sailing stamps and dies, and it’s super versatile whether you’re a seasoned stamper or just starting to explore the wonderful world of hybrid embossing folders.

There's a full video tutorial linked at the end of the post so you can sail right along with me, step by step.

Get ready to chart a creative course—this nautical fun fold is going to be one you’ll want to make again and again. So grab your Stampin’ Up! wish list, because once the Sunrise Sailing bundle launches on May 6, you’ll want to be first in line!
