Stitched Semi-Circle & Arch Die Focused Cards with Rachel and Candice

Hello friends! Rachel here today! I have a fun underwater-themed shaker card to share with you today featuring the new Stitched Semi-Circle Dies. 

I love how versatile these dies are! I used the biggest one in the set to create a large window in the center of a 5" x 5" square card base. I then stamped some images from both the Sea You Soon and Best Fishes Stamp Sets. All of my images were colored with Copic Markers and cut using the coordinating Sea You Soon and Best Fishes die sets.

For my ocean background, I blended some Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Inks and splattered this blend with water to give it more interest. I also added a beach floor by cutting a piece of white card stock, blending it with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink and then splattering it with both diluted white and brown paint to add some texture. 

I adhered all of my images with to my base with liquid adhesive and then added some Studio Katia Majestic Mini Sequins for my shaker embellishment combined with some clear seed beads. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment onto my front panel with Tuxedo Memento Black Ink prior to attaching it to my card base.

Hi my crafty friends! It's Candice sharing a cool summer shaker card with you highlighting the Stitched Arch dies!

I used these awesome Sunny Studio products for my shaker:

• Stitched Arch dies
• Summer Sweets stamps & coordinating dies
• Radiant Plumeria stamps (Summer)
• Sliding Window dies (awnings)
• Dots & Stripes Pastel 6x6 paper pad
• Iridescent Pastel Confetti

I began my card with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which fits wonderfully into your standard size envelopes.

For the shaker windows, I first die cut 3 arch windows on a piece of thick white cardstock and adhered a strip of acetate behind them. I then put strips of foam tape all around the back of windows and filled with sequins. On the card front, I added trimmed yellow pattern paper, lined up under the windows, and adhered vellum over the them to make it softer. I then added the card onto the foam tape to create my shaker card.

Next, I created my awnings using the same yellow pattern paper and adhered above the windows with foam tape. I then stamped all the different ice creams, colored with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I added some accents using a white gel pen.

To finish the card, I created the sentiments by first stamping the "Summer" in Altenew Silver Stone ink and fussy cutting out and then heat embossing the other sentiment in white on a grey banner. I adhered both of them with foam tape and added some different colored nuvo drops around the windows.
