Happy Retirement

May 29, 2025

This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards created using the Along These Lines stamp set. I was inspired to create this card using the same stamp set, although I did match it with the Sunrise Sailing Bundle. I stamped the dolphin image from the Along These Lines stamp set onto Balmy Blue card using Night of Navy ink. I embossed the panel using the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder, making sure that I only embossed below the stamped dolphin. I trimmed across the panel following the lines before attaching the panel across the bottom of Basic White card. The whole piece is attached to scored and folded Night of Navy card. I cut the medium sailing ship from Night of Navy card using the Sunrise Sailing Dies.

I also cut the medium sails from Lemon Lolly card using the same dies. I attached the sails to the boat before attaching the sailing ship to the card front. I cut Pool Party using the largest cloud die from the Sunrise Sailing Dies. I stamped “happy retirement” from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set onto the cloud image using Night of Navy ink. The cloud is attached to the card front using dimensionals. I stamped the bird image from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set three times onto the card front using Night of Navy ink.

To decorate the inside of the card I stamped “best wishes” from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I die cut the smallest sailing ship from Night of Navy card using the Sunrise Sailing Die. I cut the sails from Lemon Lolly card using the same dies. I attached the sails to the sailing ship before attaching it beside the greeting. I love how this card turned. It’s fun when you have an idea that turns out exactly as you planned! What about you? What do you think? Does it work?

Bye for now,
