Best Fishes Cards with Leanne and Eloise

Hello crafty friends! Leanne here and I’m swimming by to share an under the sea themed shaker card. This card was simple and easy to create with the help of the Best Fishes stamp set and a Stitched Oval die. I made my own stencil to create a wave pattern to help set the scene. 

I started by stenciling the wave pattern onto a piece of light blue card stock that is trimmed slightly narrower than A2 width. I made the stencil using the Catch A Wave dies and copy paper. I used Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink and a blending brush to achieve the tone on tone pattern. Next, I used one of the Stitched Oval dies to create the shaker well and filled it with various aqua colored sequins and micro beads.  

I created the sandy bottom out of kraft card stock and a Woodland Border die. I splattered this piece with white and brown paint to give it a more realistic look. I Copic colored several images from the Best Fishes stamp set and die cut with the coordinating Best Fishes dies. I adhered the images directly onto the acetate window with glue dots.  

I added just a few of the same sequins I used inside the shaker to the outside around the scene. To complete the card I added the greeting which I trimmed into a thin strip and tucked under the shark’s fin. I think the theme and color scheme of this card is very gender neutral and the Best Fishes greeting is multi-purpose. These type of cards are so handy to have when we need one at a moment’s notice.

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I’m sharing a card using the Best Fishes Stamp Set. This is definitely one of my favourites from the release, I’ve used it so many times and honestly ocean themed stamp sets are my most used ones.

I started off with stamping and colouring my images in with Copic Markers. I then cut them out. For my background, I ink blended over a curved stencil with Tumbled Glass and Scattered Straw Ink to create an under the sea background. Once it was ink blended, I splattered some water on the background and dried it with a heat tool.

(Copic Markers Used: W00, W0, W1, W3, W4, W5, W7, W9 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / Y11, Y13, Y15, YR23 / R00, R20 / 0 / YG01, YG23, YG17, YG67 / Y21, Y31, YR12, YR24 / E42, E43, E44, E47 / RV91, RV93, RV95, RV99)

I then added foam tape onto the backs of my images and adhered them into place on my background. For my sentiment, I stamped the ‘Best Fishes’ from the stamp set, in black ink on the top right-hand corner. Lastly, I adhered my panel onto a light grey card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I’ll see you all next time.

Coastal Cuties Cards with Lexa and Rachel

Hi guys! Lexa here again with an interactive card using Coastal Cuties Stamps and the coordinating dies. I also use Beach Babies and the coconut tree from Seasonal Trees Stamps. It's an easy interactive card but adorable in the same time. Let's get started!

I started with stamping my images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them using Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I cut all the pieces using coordinating dies. I always enjoy the moment I pop out them.. so satisfying. Then I prepare the papers to create this simple mechanism.

Front: 4 1/4" x 8 1/4", score it at 2 3/4"; Inside: 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", score it at 4 1/4"; Back: 4 1/4" x 5 3/4", score it at 5 1/2"

I make a beach scene on the front panel, with all these cuties playing on the beach. Then when you open the card, the image on the circle window will change into water splashing girl. And a sentiment inside, I leave the top part empty so I can write another greetings inside it later.

On the front, I blend Tea Dye Distress Ink for the sand and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the sky. Beach line is from Ocean of Joy Stamps, and that cute little crab is also from the same set.

It turned out cuter than I imagined. I hope you all love it as much as I do. Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you have an amazing weekend!

Hello! It's Rachel here today and I have a fun pop-up card to share with you today featuring the new Coastal Cuties Stamp Set. I combined this set with the Beach Babies Stamp Set, which coordinate perfectly with each other.

I decided to make a floating floor design for this set to create what I hoped would look like a fun 3D summer day at the beach. I stamped all of my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. I then used both the coordinating Coastal Cuties and Beach Babies Die Sets to cut them out. I also added some fun little palm trees from the Sending Sunshine Stamps and Dies and a cute little crab from the Best Fishes Stamps and Dies. (For details on how to create a similar card, you can check out THIS prior post of mine.)

To add to my beach scene, I used the beautiful Summer Splash Paper Pad for the sky, the water, and the wave. In order to cut the wave, I used one of the Catch A Wave Dies. I also added a sand dune in the back of the card using the Wavy Border Dies and some Kraft Card Stock. I then used liquid adhesive to add all of my images.

For the outside of my card, I went with a simple design and used a 2" x 12" belly band to hold my card together. I used one of the cute little girls from the Coastal Cuties Stamp Set and added a bird from the Sending Sunshine Stamp Set. I then added a beautiful scalloped frame using the Fancy Frames Circle Dies and heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto some black card stock.

Thanks so much for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed my card today. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
