The Sea Is Calling For Me!

The sentiment is so fitting for me!  I could take a trip to the sea anytime at all--I love it!  I'll be sharing a few details of this card here to go along with the reel I've posted over on Instagram.  This features several beautiful products from Picket Fence Studios April release.

This shaker card is created with an A2 panel from the Beachcombing Fabulously Glossy A2 Card Fronts pack.  After sealing the shaker pocket around the card, I added the shaker bits from the Island Blues Sequin Mix.

Next I used a scrap piece of cardstock from the Coral to Aqua to Turquoise Ombré foiling toner cardstock pack.  It's great that this cardstock has beautiful colors and can be used as is, without foiling!  I placed a piece of Lapis Watercolor toner foil over it and ran it through my Minc Mini machine.  I have had this foil for several years, and amazingly, it is still available!  The link is in my list below.

I die cut the foiled piece with the dies in the Find Me By The Sea word die set.  I die cut two more from white cardstock and adhered the layers together.

After using a Paper Pouncer to color the Ornamental Grass die cut, I used glue to adhere it and the turtle to the card front.  The turtle is from the A Sea Turtle's Journey stamps and dies and I had saved it from a previous project.  The sentiment is adhered with glue.  Did you see how I trimmed the stamped sentiment to work with the die cut sentiment?  It's from the Signature Quotes: The Sea and I just used my scissors to trim off the "the sea" portion.  A few pieces of foam tape pop it up on the card.

I hope you'll check out my reel over on Instagram for some of the in action making process!  Thanks so very much for stopping by today!

Find Me By The Sea

Happy Monday crafty friends!  Today I've shared my reel over on Instagram for Picket Fence Studios showing details of this gorgeous ocean scene card.  I'm just amazed at how beautiful the Magical Seas A2 card fronts are!  All three of the patterns are awesome and there's not much you need to add to create a stunning card!

This post is primarily to share the still photos, and I hope you will check out my reel on my Instagram feed.

After choosing one of the Magical Seas A2 card fronts, I die cut the sentiment from the Find Me by the Sea die set.  Before I layered the inked sentiments together, I added some beautiful chunky glitter to the bottom of each letter and let it dry.  Then I adhered the ombre inked and four-layer stacked sentiments to the card with glue.  Paper Pouncers made the inking process so quick and easy!  The inks I used are in the list below.

I had two leftover turtles (A Sea Turtle's Journey) from a previous card I made and added them amongst the Tropical Fern and Leaf Dies that were cut from black cardstock.

To help the smaller words of the sentiment stand out, I added Glossy Accents to each word.  Then I sparkled up the Ferns with a Wink of Stella glitter pen.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a wonderful week filled with lots of crafty time!
