Hello again everyone and welcome to the SUOC#274 where this time the theme is - Animal Kingdom. When I saw what the challenge was I couldn't resist using one of my favourite stampset bundles 'Whale done', I love this set and I was delighted to see that it wasn't going to be retiring, so we have it for another year yayyyy!!. Unfortunately the beautiful dsp that went with this bundle was retiring and has now gone!......... I still have a bit to use up so have used a piece on my card.
The card I've made for you today is a relatively easy one, I've incorporated a piece of window sheet so that it looks like we're looking into the ocean through a window, so let's have a look at how I've made it................... yes I'm sorry but I have used a small piece of the dsp but I'm sure we could make our own background just as easily if we don't have this dsp.
Materials needed:
Pool Party cardstock
1 piece of A4 (UK size) cut in half on short side at 4 1/8" and scored on longside at 5 7/8"
2 pieces - 4" x 5 3/4" cut from the other half of the A4 sheet (1 die cut in the centre for the frame layer using the 4th largest rectangle die and the other is embossed for the inside of card layer)
1 small piece for the sentiment layer
Scrap pieces to stamp 6 of the seaweed and fussy cut out
Basic White cardstock (159228)
Scrap pieces for stamping 4 seahorses, 1 whale and 1 jellyfish all fussy cut out apart from the whale which can be punched out
1 piece for the sentiment
Whale of a time dsp (discontinued)
1 piece that I've used slightly smaller than the frame layer but you could just have another pool party piece this size and stamp images with the different ink colours to create your own background scene.
Basic Gray classic stampin' pad - to stamp the whale/punch out
Pool Party classic stampin' pad - to stamp the sentiment and bubbles onto the background
Shaded Spruce classic stampin' pad - to stamp the seaweed/fussy cut out
Calypso coral classic stampin' pad - to stamp the seahorses/fussy cut out
Bumble bee classic stampin' pad - to stamp the tiny fish onto the background
Granny Apple Green classic stampin' pad - to stamp the seaweed and the jellyfish/ fussy cut out
Window sheet
1 piece smaller than the frame layer
Seashells 3D embossing folder
To emboss the frame once die cut out and for the inside of card layer
Whale of a time sequins
Seashell sequins on the ocean background
Mini glue dots
Use these to attach the sequins on with
Stitched rectangle dies - to die cut the frame for front of card ( the middle piece is used on the inside of the card)
Foam adhesive sheets
Strips cut for on the reverse of the frame over the window sheet
Tear & tape adhesive
Use this to adhere the window sheet onto the reverse side of the frame
Now it's a case of assembling all of your pieces and having fun putting them all together. The jellyfish, whale and the sentiment all have dimensionals on the back of them just to give a bit of depth everything else I've attached flat with glue.
Hope you enjoyed the card I've made I really enjoyed putting this together 'cos as I have said I really love this cute stampset.
