Sailing Home for Graduation

It’s graduation season and I love using the Sailing Home Bundle to create fun graduation cards.  The sentiment from the Sailing Home stamp set is great for graduation and I love the die that cuts out the fancy label the sentiment is mounted on.

Color Combo

The Night of Navy card base is 4-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ and scored at 5-1/2″.  This leaves a half flap on the left of the card that opens.  I placed a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Seaside Spray on the inside of the card, while the front flap got a 4″ x 2-2/4″ piece of Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper.  The sail boat and sea gulls were stamped in Night of Navy on a 2″ x 3-3/4″ piece of Seaside Spray.  I then colored the sails with the Stampin’ Write Chalk Marker and wrapped a piece of the Come Sail Away Bakers twine around the cardstock before popping it up on a 2-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Sahara Sand with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then layering on a 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Night of Navy.  This layers were then attached to the front of the card flap making sure not to attach it to the Seaside Spray inside layer.  The final touch was the sentiment stamped on Sahara Sand with Night of Navy and punched out with the 1-1/2″ Circle Punch and layered on a Night Of Navy stitched piece I cut out using the Smooth Sailing Dies.  This was popped up with Dimensionals as well.
