Lighthouse Dreams: A Sunset Coast Congratulations Card

Hi Craft Friends

One of my absolute favorite bundles right now is the Sunset Coast Bundle, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why! I love that it includes coordinating stamps and dies that let me build the most gorgeous, detailed oceanfront scenes — we’re talking sailboats, seashells, rock formations, and lighthouses. The possibilities are just endless! And the sentiments are perfect for so many occasions too — retirement, anniversary, or any kind of new adventure card. This bundle really does it all!

The front features a dramatic black card base with a circle die cut (includes a detailed lighthouse and rock formation) that frames the most gorgeous sunset scene behind it. The Scenic Coast DSP is absolutely stunning — all those rich purples, deep blues, fiery oranges, and golden yellows make it look like a real painted masterpiece. The die cut soaring seagull, giving it that beautiful silhouette effect. A fishing net die cut in those same warm sunset tones adds the perfect finishing touch, along with the Congratulations sentiment banner.

But here’s where it gets really fun — because this card has a surprise inside! When you open it the first time, you get a peek at the left panel with that stunning circular lighthouse silhouette, and the right side reveals the full Scenic Coast DSP in all its glory, with three seagulls die cuts soaring over those breathtaking ocean waves. It honestly looks like a painting!

Open it all the way, and the inside is beautifully finished too — a white panel for writing your message, edged with a strip of the DSP and that coordinating fishing net die cut in the corner.

And because I never leave an envelope plain, the back flap features a vertical strip of the Scenic Coast DSP that perfectly previews the beauty waiting inside.
