Every Friday, I go live to create a card from start to finish—and in this week’s session (Friday June 6 2025), we set sail with the Sunrise Sailing Bundle! ⛵ Read on to see how I did this technique!  I also shared a fun giveaway winner and a look back at last week’s sweet doughnut-themed card.

What I Used

Here’s what I used in this clean and creative design (and get the full supply list at the end of this post)

• Sunrise Sailing Bundle (just the dies today)

• Two-Tone Cardstock (Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock)

• Basic White Cardstock

• Pretty Peacock & Lost Lagoon scraps

• Simply Said Stamp Set (for the “Birthday Wishes” sentiment)

• Faceted Gems Trio Pack

• 2″ Circle Punch

• Adhesives: Liquid Glue, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Technique Spotlight: Torn Paper Waves

One of the most fun elements of this card is the layered wave effect. I used Two-Tone Cardstock, which has a slightly darker tone on the reverse and a white core. By tearing the pieces toward me, I revealed the white edge, giving it a foamy, ocean-wave feel .

You can experiment with different sides and layering—plus it’s a great way to use scraps creatively!

Finishing Touches

• I cut out sailboat pieces using the coordinating dies from the Sunrise Sailing Bundle.

• Used liquid glue and dimensionals to build a layered scene—one sailboat flat, the other popped up.

• For the sentiment, I stamped “Birthday Wishes” (from Simply Said) in black and punched it out with a 2″ circle.

• Finished with Faceted Gems Trio Pack for just the right amount of sparkle on the waves.
