Hello, hello! Welcome to a very special Summer Release Stampede! We are thrilled to bring you this splashin' release of 6 new stamp sets and 7 Creative Cuts dies!
For 2 days only, a brand new straight slider set with any purchase over $60 is yours!
Today, I'm sharing a diorama/box card featuring the new Mermaid Kisses stamp set and the coordinating creative cuts. The set contains three beautiful mermaids, lots of lovable sea critters and great scene building images, perfect for creating magical and dreamy underwater scenes.
All the images were stamped on smooth white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. They were then cut with coordinating dies. I added details on the mermaids with Sakura Gelly Roll pens.
Just in case you're interested in making this project, I've included the card making process below.
- Trim two smooth Bristol cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5". This will be the front and the back of the box. Score lines at 1 2/8 and 7 2/8. Die cut one of the cardstocks in the center with the largest frame die from Peek A Frame creative cuts. This is to create a window for the box. Once completed, it will look like a mini fish tank. Ink blend the areas that will be visible from the front using Distress Inks in Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet, and Peacock Feathers. Splatter water with a paint brush.
- Trim two acetates to 6"x 5". I used heat resistant acetates to heat emboss the sentiment to the front of the acetate. The second acetate is used inside the middle of the box to make the images look like they're floating/swimming.
- Trim Bristol cardstock to 7" x 2" and score lines at 4/8" and 6.4/8". Die cut the cardstock with the wavy border die from Landscape Trio Creative Cuts. Distress it with Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks.
- Trim 2 cardstock to 7"x 2/8". Score lines at 4/8"and 6.4/8". These two thin panels will go inside the box to hold the acetate. Ink it with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, to blend in with the box.
- Attach the red hair mermaid and some fish to the back panel.
- Adhere the acetate on top of the two thin strip panels. One on the top and the other in the bottom. Then adhere that to the back panel and add the mermaid with yellow hair, jelly fish and the green fish.
- Adhere the rest of the images to the sea floor panel then attach the folded flap to the back panel. Make sure to create distance from the acetate and not pressed against the front either.
- Heat emboss the sentiment from the stamp set to the second acetate. Then adhere it to the back of the front panel to cover the window.
- To finish, adhere the front panel to the back panel.
Couple of other notes that might help you:
- This card folds flat to 7.2/8" X 5"
- It fits comfortably in an envelope that is 8.2/8" x 5.6/8"
I hope you enjoyed today's post.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Hugs, Amy :)
