Kiddie Pool Cards with Marine and Marieke

Hey crafty friends, Marine here with you today. This year I've decided to celebrate "Christmas in July" so I'm back with a fun Christmas at the beach box card showcasing the adorable Kiddie Pool stamp set. 

As you can see on the pictures, my little scene is quite busy, I picked some additional images from different stamp sets:

Beach Babies - balloon, sandcastle, parasol, bag, sunscreen and bucket
Beach Buddies - sunglasses
Seasonal Trees + Sending Sunshine - palm trees
Scenic Route - strings of lights
Penguins Pals - penguins for their hats
Fintastic Friends - seaweeds

As always I started off by stamping the images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies and then colored everything using my alcohol markers, and to stay in the Christmas theme, I obviously used a lot of red.

Next I worked on the pop-up box card. I cut all the different elements to build it, including some panels using papers from Spring Sunburst + All Is Bright + Very Merry. Please watch the video (linked down below) to see how this pop-up box card was put together.

Once the box card was assembled, I attached all my cute images inside of it, using glue dots mostly, as well as liquid glue at some places. And to give the illusion that some of the images (balloon + water splatters) are in the air, I stuck those images on thin strips of acetate using glue dots, and then attached those strips inside the box using glue dots again.

For the final details, I cut a yellow frame that I attached around the window on the front of the box card. I also used a die from the Stitched Rectangle die set to cut a banner out of black cardstock, and white heat embossed my sentiment "Warm thoughts for a joyful Christmas season" from Foxy Christmas on it.

And that's it! We have a fun and festive pop-up box card. Looks like they're all having the time of their lives. If you're looking for me, I'm the one in the back, sitting in a sun lounger and sipping on a cocktail. As always, feel welcome to check the process video for more information and details (click on the image above). Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Hello Sunny Studio friends, Marieke here. Today I hope to inspire you with a series of Artist Trading Cards. 

For today I started with the background. I cut three pieces of white cardstock and ink blended the water / sky scene using Vintage Photo, Antique Linen, Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin and Picked Raspberry. Splattered some water and added some white paint on the waves.

Cut the tree larger rectangles using pattern paper and glued them together. Die cut the Trees out of the Tropical Trees Backdrop and added them onto the cards. Cut a sun out of yellow cardstock and trimmed it down into half a sun.
