Trio of Ocean Critter Wobblers

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!
