Just Keep Swimming Box Card

 

Hello everyone, happy Friday. DT Annalisa here today sharing a 3D box card I created using some new and older products from Time For Tea Designs. When I saw the ocean-themed July release, I knew I had to make an underwater box card featuring all the sea creatures.

I cut some Distress White Heavy cardstock by Ranger and used the 'ink smooshing' technique to add watered-down Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers. I pressed Peacock Feathers down onto my glass matt and sprayed it with water. I pressed the paper down into the watercolour to create a watery look. I then die-cut two pieces of this using the Box Clever Die Set. I also cut two wavy inserts using some dies I had in my stash and glued them on top of the inserts. Visit T4TD over on YouTube for a video on assembling the box. 

I will warn you that the Distress White Heavy cardstock no longer supports water the way it used to. My original Distress White Heavy cardstock could handle a lot of water. However, I purchased some new packages recently, and they 'bubbled up' whenever I added water. I will have to use the Distress Watercolor Cardstock by Ranger for watercolour techniques like this in the future.

I stamped the images from the Fintastic Friends and Beach Buds with Ink on 3 Blackout Ink and coloured them with my Copics. I cut them with their coordinating die sets; Fintastic Friends coordinating die and Beach Buds coordinating die. I added some white gel pen accents and Prisma Glitter. to some elements. I stamped the sentiment from Fintastic Friends using Versafine and die-cut it out with its' coordinating die. 

I assembled the box card using double-sided tape. I then used liquid glue to add all the critters and elements to finish the card.

3D Ice Cream Card Video Tutorial

 Hello Vic here today and I am sharing a fun video tutorial  with you all today. I thought it would be a fun idea to use a SVG cutting file for my card today as I know some of you have electronic die cutting machines. Plus I thought this card will go great with the Sundae Sweeties stamp set.

You can see the video tutorial here:

In the video I show you how I put the card together, once my card was made I stamped out the images I wanted to use. I stamped my images using the Sundae Sweeties Clear Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies. I love these critters they look ready to tuck into lots of ice cream! I used my copic markers to colour the images in and then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. 

I then added them onto my card using some foam tape. I popped the mice with the cherry at the top of the ice cream as I thought he would look super cute sat there. 

For my sentiment I stamped out a greeting from the Treat Yourself Clear Stamp Set. This is one of my favourite stamp sets and I thought the greeting would go perfectlly with the card. I heat embossed my greeting using some White Embossing Powder. I heat set my sentiment with my heat gun then trimmed the sentiment down. I adhered my sentiment onto some acetate and popped this behind the front part of my card. This will make the sentiment look like it is floating. I love doing this tecnique on my cards. 

 This card also folds flat to fit in an envelope. There is also a piece of white card at the back of the second ice cream to write your sentiment. 

I hope you enjoy the video tutorial today and it will inspire you to get your electronic cutting machines out. Thank you so much for watching the tutorial.
