Throwback Thursday - On the Ocean

 Hello there! I'm sorry it has been a little while. We had several out-of-state graduations to attend and then also moved our youngest out of her dorm and bedroom here and into an apartment. Needless to say, my schedule has been a bit full. 

This card was actually designed from one of my trips. My daughter asked me to bring some birthday cards my grandson could use for his friends, so I pulled out the retired Magical Day stamp set for those. After designing the cards, I realized the layout would work really well for some graduation cards I needed to make for my husband to use for his students. Since their mascot is a pirate, On the Ocean was the perfect set to use. 

The card is super simple, which makes it a great choice for cards that you need to make multiples of. 

Measurements:

• Card base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• Black panel - 5 1/4 x 4
• White outside panel - 5 1/8 x 3 7/8
• Black strip - 1/2 x 4
• White inside panel - 5 1/4 x 4

Technique Tuesday A is for Acetate

 

Hello there! I'm starting a new Technique Tuesday series. I am going to go through the alphabet coming up with techniques for each. Some letters might have more than one technique to showcase. We'll see how it goes. 

We'll start this series with A, of course, and A is for acetate. I actually use acetate or, Window Sheets as Stampin' Up! calls them, in three different ways for this card. 

So, which card do you like better? We could almost play a Spot The Difference game with these two cards. The backgrounds are different colors. When I did the first one, I didn't have the new In Color markers yet. The ships are different colors and the clouds are in a different configuration (I like the dark cloud in the back better). And, of course, the birds are flying in different directions. 

The measurements for this card:

• Card base - 6 1/4 x 5 1/2 
• scored at 1/2, 4 3/4, 5 1/4, & 5 3/4 on long side
• Water color panel - 4 x 5 1/4
• Window Sheet - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
• Sentiment strip - 1/2 x 4 cut down to fit
