 2.  Cut out 3 waves using the Wave Border die.  I used 2 different colors of blue card stock

Hope your summper is going great!  And you get a chance to put on those flip flops and head to the beach on just sit by the pool!

Under the Sea Joy Fold Card

Hi, Lois here again with my Monday card.  Last week  I saw a card which was a variation of the Joy Fold card.  Instead of a horizontal opening, it had a vertical opening.  I haven't made a Joy Fold card in a while, so I decided to make one for today, using this vertical opening technique.  I used a bunch of "under the sea" dies from CottageCutz, along with one of the new Expressions Plus dies -- "imagine."


To start my card I cut two pieces of teal cardstock, one piece 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 5 1/2"; the other one 4" x 8", scored at 4".  I also cut three pieces of swirly blue-green paper:  5 1/4" x 5 1/4", 5 1/4" x 2 3/4", and 4" x 4"; and three pieces of "sand" paper 5 1/4" x 2 3/4", 5 1/4" x 2 1/4", 3 3/4" x 1 1/2".  I also cut one 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" white cardstock.


I tore across the top of the three pieces of "sand" paper and adhered them to the three pieces of blue-green paper.


Next I cut my die-cut images.  You will see that I cut two pieces each of the mermaid, the sentiment, and the waves.  You will understand this duplication as the card is constructed.



I adhered the patterned paper and one of the "imagine" die-cuts to my card pieces.



Next, I lined up the sand on the 4" x 4" card with the sand on the bottom panel of the card base and glued it down.  I did put some Scor-Tape on the back of the 4" x 4" card at the top to make sure of a good adhesion over the sentiment.



Here is where you discover why I cut two "imagine" sentiments.  Lining up the word with the one already on the card, I adhered it onto the smaller card and cut off the excess.  I will admit that this looked better in my head than what actually occurred.


Then, using  Copic markers,  I colored the mermaids, the shells and the seaweed . . .



. . . and adhered them to the front of the card.   As you can see, I poked out the pieces of the mermaid tail and hair and inserted the lighter blue and darker hair pieces into the other one.


The wave die-cut was not quite long enough to span the full 5 1/2", so I had cut another shorter piece of that wave to make up the difference.  After getting the size correct by overlapping and trimming the smaller piece, I adhered the wave across the fold-up panel on the front.



I had run  two of the shells through my Xyron X sticker maker so they would adhere well.  The third one (the scallop shell) was adhered with a medium glue dot.  This one is used as the "closure" on the left side of the 4" x 4" panel.

I then adhered the white panel inside the 4" x 4" section and stamped a sentiment and shell border.




And that completed my card.

Beach cabins

Hi, Janja here!

Today I share with you a hello card in vivid colors. Fresh, cute and suitable for creating, even in these hot days. It can also be used as an invitation to a cocktail party, or instead of a postcard from our vacation.


For the card we need:
- brown card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- white drawing sheet: 4.9 x 4.9" (12,5 x 12,5 cm)
- white cardstock
- Memento ink: Lady Bug, Cantaloupe, Tangelo, Summer Sky, Pear Tart
- Distress ink: Broken China

Spray a drawing sheet with a brush. This will be our background.


From a white cardstock with the die build-a-house set 1 cut out cabins, roofs and windows. Larger cabins with the die are not cut completely. Complete them with a scissors. Also prepare an inscription and waves.


Paint cutouts with an ink pads so that the entire surface of a pad is being dragged over the cutouts. Choose vivid colors.
 

On cabins, fasten roofs and windows. Paste them to the background.
 

Add the wavy sea, the inscription and for the icing on the cake, a birdie.
 

I would like to remind you on our CottageCutz challenge #4 - greenery. Join us.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
