Best Wishes with the Sunrise Sailing Bundle

If you’ve been following along lately, you know I’ve been having a lot of fun with the Sunrise Sailing Bundle from Stampin’ Up! This bundle is one of those sets that instantly makes me feel calm and creative, probably because it reminds me of easy summer days and quiet mornings by the water.

For this card, I wanted to highlight the beautiful embossing folder that comes in the bundle. This card shows off the brayer technique I used to ink up my embossing fiber. I used Balmy Blue ink with just a light touch across the folder, creating that soft, breezy water texture you see in the background.

The sailboat itself was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, Smoky Slate and Balmy Blue, keeping things crisp and nautical. I love how simple this layout is. Just a few layers, a clean sentiment, and the texture really does most of the work. It’s the kind of card that looks detailed but comes together surprisingly quickly.

To finish it off, I added a few Smoky Slate Pearls for a touch of shine. They mimic the look of little droplets of water and tie everything together beautifully.

This “Best Wishes” design could work for so many occasions. Birthdays, graduations, even retirements. It’s peaceful, timeless, and easy to customize just by switching up the colors or sentiment.

What do you think, are you more of a brayer or ink pad crafter when it comes to inking embossing folders? I’d love to know in the comments!
