You're Fintastic Underwater Summer Themed Shaker Card with Juliana

Hello friends! It's Juliana Michaels here to share a fintastic underwater shaker card I created using the Magical Mermaids stamp set, Oceans of Joy stamp set and Fancy Frames Oval die set.

I began by die cutting the large scallop oval from white cardstock using the Fancy Frame Oval die set. I used the same die to cute a double sided foam adhesive sheet to use as the shaker box frame. Since I didn't have an oval die the correct size, I freehand drew an oval onto a scrap of paper using the Fancy Frame Oval as a template. I trimmed it down to size and then used this as a template to cut a piece of acetate to cover the window on the frame. I also used this same template to cut another oval from a piece of cardstock. I used this as the background and backer for the shaker. Once all of the cutting was complete, I applied Distress ink in Abandoned coral to the oval frame and Mermaid Lagoon to the background oval using a foam blending brush.

I knew I wanted to create an underwater scene so I stamped the mermaid, turtle and other images with Versafine ink onto Bristol. I then colored them using Zig Clean Color Real Brush and added details with Chameleon Pens. Once the parts for the scene were completed, I adhered them to the background piece.

To assemble the shaker, I adhered the acetate to the backside of the cardstock frame. I then adhered this to the die cut foam piece. Next, I took the background piece with the underwater scene and carefully poured some sequins and jewels in the center of this piece. I then adhered the frame piece on top of this to complete the shaker. You can also fill the frame with the sequins, but I always find it to be more difficult to line up the pieces when I do it that way. My solution has been to pour the sequins on top of the back piece.


I hope you enjoyed learning about how to create an underwater shaker card using the Magical Mermaids stamp set, Oceans of Joy stamp set and Fancy Frames Oval die set. Thanks so much for swimming by today!

Sea You Soon Ocean Summer Themed Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a summer card using the Island Getaway Stamp Set along with Oceans of Joy. These are two of my most favourite stamp sets of all time and I thought I'd pull them back out and make a card with those sets.

To begin my card today I stamped out some images from both sets and coloured them in with Copic Markers. Once they were coloured, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I took a rectangle die and cut it twice on top of each other, from some white cardstock cut to the same size as a card base. This creates two windows and allows me to create two scenes. Next I took a piece of watercolour paper and ink blended some Salty Ocean on the bottom and Tumbled Glass on the top to create my background. I wanted it to be darker at the bottom for the sea and lighter at the top for the sky. I flicked on a little water and dried it with a heat tool. 

(Copic Markers Used: Y11, Y15, YR15 / RV13, RV25, RV19 / Y19, Y38, YR16 / R24, R29, R89 / BV13, BV04, BV08 / B21, B24, B26 / E55, E57, E59 / N2, N4, N8 / 0 / G20, G21, G24 / YG03, YG13, YG17 / YG63, YG07, G28)

Next up, I added foam tape around my frame and adhered it down into place. I then did the same with the images. I added the sand and palm tree at the top with the smaller hibiscus flower and the sea animals at the bottom of my panel, using flat and foam adhesive. My last step was to add the sentiment, I took the 'Sea You Soon' sentiment from Oceans of Joy and stamped it down in black ink. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today I hope you enjoyed and I'll catch you all next time.
