I have no idea how this happened, but my oldest is turning 16 tomorrow!! 16 is a big deal, so I wanted to create a fun, interactive card, and this is what I came up with: a fun 3-D pirate-themed box card.
I bought the MFT "Out of the Box" die a month or so ago and hadn't gotten it out to play yet. This was the perfect time! It was really quite easy to put together, if I had stuck to the basic design . . . but, no, I wanted to create a see-through look on the front so I made it a little more difficult for myself. But the way it turned out was worth it. Since there really wasn't any place for a sentiment on the front of the card, I added some decorative panels on the sides: this side has the sentiment . . .
So fun, and I love how cute the different sea creatures are!
Supplies:
Stamps: MFT "Party Like a Pirate" and "Friends with Fins"
Dies: MFT "Outside the Box", "Ocean Waves", "Ocean Floor"; Lawn Fawn "Stitched Hillsides"; Papertrey Ink "By the Numbers" border die
Stencil: Taylored Expressions "Set the Scene: Clouds"
