Hello and Happy Thursday!!
It's Kris sharing with you today. I've got a set of 4x6" super quick and easy cards as a last hoorah to summer (Sunday is the first day of Fall)!
These 3 cards are also interactive as all the ocean critters are on wobblers! I've used the Jellyfish, Octopus and Seahorse dies.
Here they are in action:
DESIGN STEPS:
The patterned paper is called Summer Vacation (from La-La Land Crafts) and I thought it was the perfect backdrop for these ocean critters!
All of my card bases are 4x6" (cut at 6" x 8" and scored at 4") and the mats on the jellyfish and seahorse cards are about 3/16" smaller. The patterned paper is cut 1/8" smaller than the mats.
The mat and patterned paper on the Octopus card are cut a bit shorter as that particular paper had 2 design strips on one side, so I cut it apart and mounted it towards the top which left a nice spot at the bottom to add my sentiment strip.
I die cut the critters from colored cardstock, then added shading with Distress Oxide inks and Copic markers. Then I cut my wobblers down to fit the largest section of each critter and mounted to the backs.
The seahorse was my first card, and I originally added dimension dots to the back when I realized I had these wobblers in my drawer! So the cardstock did rip a tad when I peeled the foam dots off ---- but nobody will see the back! ☺
For the Octopus, I decided to add some wiggly eyes.
I printed my sentiments from the computer and cut them in ways I thought would work best on each card.
Here's a better look individually...
I hope you enjoyed these cute and easy cards today and are inspired to create your own! Enjoy what's left of SUMMER as Fall is just around the corner!
