The most recent Monday Makes card features the Seas the Day bundle. The fun fold card was surprising quick to construct, it was the decorating that took the time.
I combined the Seas the Day bundle (Seas the Day stamp set and Sea Dies) with some of the items from the Waves of the Ocean Collection. I love how you can mix and match items from different Stampin’ Up! catalogues. The Waves of the Ocean items used are –
- Waves of the Ocean 12″ x 12″ double-sided paper, and
- the Blue Foils 12″ x 12″ specialty paper
I decided not to add any of the Waves Rhinestones because the three different coloured foiled paper (Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy and Silver) added enough shimmer and shine to the card.
The card when folded out and standing looks like this.
The sentiment on the front of the card remains hidden until the card is opened which is a cute trick. The card design is called a “Pop Up Easel Block Card”. The rolled box (the block) at the front being the piece that holds the easel part up. The original card from Sam at Mixed Up Craft was for a 5″ x 7″ card. But, I reworked the size and directions to create a card that would fit into a standard C6 envelope. The design was a huge success with the Acorns and I’m pretty sure that a few of them have gone on to make more.
