Sea-Themed Father's Day Card

by Andrea Shell on Apr 24 2024

Hello there! It's Andrea back with you to share a Father's Day card featuring products from the latest release. I love the new A Sea Turtle's Journey and thought it would make a perfect Father's Day card as it has both large and small sea-turtle images. I started by stamping two of the turtles with Black Hybrid ink. I colored them with Copics, added details with a white gel pen, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I decided to create a 5" x 7" card to ensure the elements had plenty of room. I created my background by sponging a few blue-green inks onto a white panel with the new Ocean Greens Paper Pouncers. Using the Fan Brush, I then added splatters of water and White Paper Splatter. To drive home the ocean theme, I applied Sea Glass Blue Paper Glaze through the Ocean Waves 6x8 Stencil. I love the texture and shine the glaze creates! Once my panel was dry, I trimmed it down slightly and adhered it to a white card. For my diecut sentiment, I cut "dad" from the Dad/Mom the Best Word Dies from white cardstock a few times. With the Ocean Greens Paper Pouncers, I applied the same inks used on my background to the diecuts, holding them in place with the 4"x4" Paper Inking Palette. Next, I layered the diecuts together, offsetting the colored ones slightly, and glued them to my card. The scripty sentiment is from the new Signature Quotes: The Sea stamp set. I stamped it in black, diecut it with the coordinating dies, and adhered it with foam tape. I popped up the turtles with foam, as well, and finished with some iridescent drops from the Island Blues Sequin Mix. Thanks for stopping by! *Affiliate links used at no cost to you.

by Brenda Noelke on Apr 23 2024

Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda here with a colorful card featuring the Dear Summer Loving Stamp Set from the newest release!! I know I would be having a great day if I was frolicking in the ocean like this sweet girl!! I started by stamping the images from the Dear Summer Loving Stamp Set onto white cardstock with PFS Black Hybrid Ink. I colored them with Copic markers, added highlights with a white gel pen then used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out. For the background, I added Sea Glass - Blue Paper Glaze Glass to a panel of Ocean Breeze Blue Card Stock using the Ocean Waves Stencil. Once dry, I trimmed it down and adhered it to an A2 panel of cardstock from the Beach Paradise Fabulous Glossy A2 Card Front Set. The adorable girl was adhered to the background with liquid glue, while the die-cut fish were popped up with foam tape. The sentiment is from the Swanky Sentiments: Salutations Stamp Set. It was stamped onto white cardstock with burnt orange ink, cut out with the Coordinating Die and popped up with foam tape. Sequins from the Tropical Breeze Sequin Mix adds a bit of shine draws your eye to the sentiment, That'll do it for me today!! Thanks so much for spending a bit of your Tuesday with me!! Brenda
