Sunrise Sailing Father's Day

The Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder was used to make this card.

The card starts with a Stripes and Florals Mix and Match Cards and Envelopes. These cards have the design on both the front and the back of the card, with the inside of the card white.  I wanted to use the back of the card for the inside of the card, so I cut the card in half, which created two panels.  The front panel was adhered onto a Basic White cardstock card base.

The Balmy Blue cardstock front panel was embossed using the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder.

Once embossed, White Craft ink was applied to the clouds and sailboat using a Sponge Dauber.

The water was colored using a Blending Brush and Secret Sea ink.

The top panel was cut out using one of the retired Deckled Rectangle dies.  After the panel was cut out, the edges of the panel were lightly run through a Balmy Blue ink pad and then adhered onto the card base.

The clouds were cut out using the Sunrise Sailing dies and Basic White cardstock.

The birds were also cut out using the Sunrise Sailing dies and Basic Black cardstock.  To make it easier to adhere to birds onto the card front, Adhesive Sheet was added to the back of the cardstock before it was cut out.

The sentiment is from the Trusty Tools stamp set and has been stamped in Secret Sea ink onto Balmy Blue cardstock.  The edges of the sentiment panel were also run through a Balmy Blue ink pad.
For the inside of the card, the back panel from the cut in half Stripes and Florals Mix and Match Card was adhered to the card base.

The sentiment is from the retired Well Said stamp set and has been stamped in Balmy Blue ink onto the Basic White inside panel.

The boat and water images are from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set and also have been stamped in Balmy Blue ink.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today!

Two-Tone Father's Day Card

The Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder along with Two-Tone Pool Party cardstock were used to make this card.

Two-Tone cardstock allows you to lightly sand the top of the paper and expose the inner white core, giving the beautiful effect that you see with this card.  I used a nail buffer block to sand this card.

When you use Two-Tone cardstock, it is like you are getting two colors of cardstock for the price of one.  One side of the cardstock is the full-strength color and the other side is a lighter version of the color.

The top panel on this card was adhered to a Lost Lagoon panel and then to a Basic White cardstock card base.

The sentiment is from the Beside Me stamp set and has been stamped in Lost Lagoon ink.
Here is a look at the inside of the card.

The sentiment is from the retired Well Said stamp set and has been stamped in Lost Lagoon ink.

The boat and water images are from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set and also have been stamped in Lost Lagoon ink.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today!

Father's Day Blog Hop

Welcome to the Team Stamp It Groups Father's Day Theme Blog Hop! 

Whether you hopped onto my blog from one of my teammates or started with my blog, I'm awfully glad you "hopped" by.

For today's blog hop, I have made a fun sailing card using the Sunrise Sailing bundle.
Basic White cardstock was used for the card base, followed by a Secret Sea panel.  The top panel is Balmy Blue cardstock.

The waves were made using one of the stamps from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set along with Balmy Blue ink.

The largest sailboat has been stamped in Secret Sea ink.

The stripes on the sails were stamped in Real Red ink.

Once inked, the sailboat was cut out using the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder along with the coordinating Sunrise Sailing die. The hybrid embossing folder added dimension to the sailboat. The sailboat was adhered onto the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The other two sailboats were cut out using Secret Sea cardstock and Sunrise Sailing dies.

The seagulls were stamped in Secret Sea ink using one of the Sunrise Sailing stamps.

The "Happy Father's Day" sentiment is from the Trusty Tools stamp set and has been stamped in Secret Sea ink.
For the inside of the card, a Secret Sea panel was adhered onto the Basic White cardstock card base.

A Basic White cardstock panel was adhered on top of the Secret Sea panel.

The sailboat was stamped as outlined above.

The water was stamped in Secret Sea ink using the wave stamp from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set.

The Sunrise Sailing bundle is an online exclusive and is available through my online store.

I hope today’s card inspires you to create something magical!
