Dream it 〰️

Its TRUE! I am manifesting seeing the ocean in 2022 and if you dream it hard enough, it can happen right? This also ties into the card I wanted to share today for my A Card a Day in May series. This was a card I created as an Artisan Design Team assignment and I love it. I mean really, who doesn’t love a good shaker card?

Fun Fact, the last time I saw the Ocean was in 2019…makes me sad inside but I am hopefully I can dip my toes in one in 2022.

This card features the amazing Waves of Inspiration Bundle which was an early release and is a current offering in the new Annual Catalogue. It is such a unique and wonderful bundle and I had a fantastic time creating with it.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies and the Foam Adhesive Strips to create the ‘shaker’ aspect. You also need a Window Sheet and some kind of filler for your shaker card. I used the Sparkle & Shine Sequin Assortment from the JJ catalogue (still available to order from until June FYI).

My favorite part of the card is the waves that decorate the shaker window. I cut one wave die (you get two in the Waves Dies) out of Basic White cardstock. The second, I stamped and embossed with Whisper White ink and embossing powder and then used Pool Party ink and a Blending Brush over top for a embossed resist look. I then die cut that wave out. This gives it a little subtle color and texture!

Under the sentiment I added some of the Denim Ribbon that I cut in half and some of the White Bakers Twine. I few well placed sequins finished off the design.

To me this card just feels serene yet interesting at the same time and its one of my favorite Artisan projects I have created this term!

I had also created a scrapbook page using some similar elements so I will share that too! What is better than more inspiration right? This is a picture of my daughter Summer on the Thailand Incentive Trip a few years back. It makes my heart so happy to have that shared experience with her!

Hello friends! Thank you for coming back to another A Card a Day in May project share! Today I wanted to share a card that I made for a recent Waves of the Ocean class as my favorite thing about it is actually the starburst technique!

This card was created featuring the Waves of the Ocean DSP which I don’t believe is available any longer however you can easily recreate this card using any DSP that catches your eye!

This project features the Waves of Inspiration bundle which was an early release bundle and I was lucky enough to receive it as a member of the Artisan Design Team so I had a lot of fun creating with it. Not only did I used it to create some Design Team projects but I also used this bundle for an online class.

However I wanted to share it with you because this card just feel so relaxing and serene to me and I love how fun and easy it is to create a starburst pattern or detail.

I also like how adding the embossed panel at the bottom and hiding the seam with ribbon can disguise the weird center that develops from laying down the strips to make the starbust. I just randomly angle but strips of DSP (great way too use up those scraps) and lay the skinny point along a center point. I do not get technical and measure, I honestly just eyeball it. You will have paper hanging off of the base so simply snip that away!
