At the Beach

Hi and welcome to my first ever blog post!  Well, I've jumped in and decided to join the blogging world and hope to learn the ropes as I go along.  

​To start, i thought i'd share with you a couple of pictures of some box cards that i made a little while ago.  I think this is such a lovely style of card and the fact that they fold down flat in the post is a bonus.  I started by drawing myself a template and once i'd worked it all out and made sure it worked, i cut and folded the final piece of card ready to decorate.

​I stamped and coloured panels and attached them to the card, then put the card together and stamped, cut and coloured the images to stick inside the box.  All the images and panels were coloured with my favourite distress inks.

For this one, i again decided to add panels instead of stamping directly onto the card base.  This is useful if you want to add water to the images and background as it doesn't buckle the actual card base. It also helps to add extra stability to the box. The images of the seahorses, seaweed and fish on the inside were stamped on acetate this time and coloured with alcohol markers. Being transparent, it gave it a nice watery effect.

I chose sea and beach themed stamps for these boxes as it's my absolute favourite theme.  The stamps I've used are from sets from Crafty Individuals and Sheena.
Ok, that's it for now folks, hope you've enjoyed having a look at my new blog and it's inspired you to get crafting too.
​Thanks for looking, join me again soon....

The first of many more blogs ... and I expect there’ll be many more seahorses appearing. Great pop-up.
