If you love nautical paper crafts, cruise memory keeping and travel-inspired journaling, the new Sail Away Mini Papercrafting Kit is ready to join your printable collection.
This free mini kit contains 10 coordinated printable pages filled with journal cards, ephemera, tags, labels, stickers, washi tape, bookmarks and decorative nautical motifs.
The designs use a soft coastal palette of navy, powder blue, sea-glass aqua, warm cream and muted gold, with cruise ships, lighthouses, anchors, shells, vintage-style luggage, travel tags and bon voyage details appearing throughout the collection.
It has a polished cruise-travel look rather than a novelty beach or pirate theme, making it suitable for elegant travel journals, summer scrapbooks and coastal memory books.
What is included in the Sail Away Mini Papercrafting Kit?
The kit includes eight main printable pages and two bonus pages.
Page 1: Decorative paper
The full decorative paper brings together cruise ships, lighthouses, anchors, compasses, shells, luggage, postcards and nautical travel details in an all-over pattern.
Use it for journal covers, scrapbook backgrounds, pockets, card fronts and collage layers.
Page 2: Journal cards
The journal card page includes a mixture of decorative and writable cards for recording sea days, port visits, favourite views and cruise memories.
There are scenic cruise and lighthouse cards, along with useful prompts such as Today’s Adventure, Sea Day Notes, Port of Call and Favourite Port.

Page 3: Ephemera
The ephemera sheet contains a generous mix of cut-apart pieces, including a cruise ship, lighthouse, ship wheel, anchor, compass, telescope, life ring, shells, luggage, tickets, tags and nautical phrase pieces.
These are ideal for layered clusters, tuck spots, pockets, card toppers and scrapbook embellishments.
Page 4: Tags
This page includes eight coordinated gift and journal tags.
Some feature decorative cruise and coastal scenes, while others include phrases or useful writing space. They can be used in journals, mini albums, gifts, luggage-themed projects and happy mail.
Page 5: Labels and frames
The labels and frames page gives you practical spaces for dates, destinations, journey notes, favourite ports and photo captions.
The designs include subtle anchors, shells, lighthouses, life rings, nautical borders and pale writing areas.
Page 6: Stickers and washi tape
The top section of this page includes larger nautical stickers and phrase pieces.
The lower section contains long printable washi strips featuring waves, rope knots, shells, compass designs, nautical tickets, seabirds, life rings and classic navy stripes.
Page 7: Tickets and small embellishments
This treasure sheet is filled with boarding passes, excursion tickets, seals, badges, banners, faux postage stamps and tiny nautical extras.
It is especially useful for adding small layers and travel-keepsake details to journals and scrapbook pages.
Page 8: Bookmarks
The kit includes five decorative bookmarks featuring a cruise ship, lighthouse, travel luggage, compass, shells and a nautical phrase design.
Print them on cardstock for gifts, reading journals or travel-themed happy mail.
Bonus Page 9: Four mini decorative papers
This page contains four different coordinated designs:
- Cruise ships and travel routes
- Shells, life rings and rope hearts
- Luggage, postcards and travel tags

They are useful for cards, tags, pockets, collage pieces and smaller journal panels.

Bonus Page 10: Large motifs
The large motif sheet includes substantial focal pieces for projects where the smaller ephemera is not quite enough.
Use the cruise ship, lighthouse, luggage, compass, life ring and anchor clusters for journal covers, scrapbook focal points, card fronts and mini album pages.

There are plenty of ways to use the pieces from this kit.
You could create:

Printing suggestions
For decorative papers and journaling pages, good-quality printer paper works well.
For tags, bookmarks, cards and larger motifs, try printing on white cardstock of around 200–250 gsm, depending on what your printer accepts.
You can also print selected pages at a reduced size if you would like smaller ephemera for mini journals or compact albums.
