2011 Under the Sea Sneak Peeks
Hello and welcome!
Yesterday I had a sweet and girlie blog post- today I have fun one that takes us under the sea! As many have come to know, Nami (owner/ designer) has a way of making animals (of all sorts) look friendly and cheery. These sea creatures are no exception!
When I was choosing who to feature for this sneak peek, I knew right away that Ayana and Michele would be my picks. They do such a fabulous job with colors, and I had a feeling their personalities would shine in this collection. :)
I literally laughed out loud when I saw this card. Only Michele could come up with something so hilarious, but still look absolutely adorable! She used the new Medium Round Bowl, Cuddly Cats stamp set and Under the Sea stamp set. This card would be great for your friends that have a quirky sense of humor- I can guarantee you that they don't have anything like this on a card rack! :)
Michele's personality comes out again in this hilarious card. The way she incorporated the new Crab and Sea Friends stamp set was pure genius! Did you know you can get your own "sand" by tearing some kraft cardstock? So easy to do, but the look is unmatched by any tool out there!
I find this adorable card irresistible. She stamped the Whale on pink cardstock, then for her partner, she used a sheet of acetate to create a mirrored image. Such a neat idea- one that I want to try now! To create the waves, Michele used the Double Embossed border punch; the pretties waves I've ever seen! :)
I find this little card adorable. Ayana did an awesome job letting the Medium Round Bowl and Sea Friends stamp set really shine. How fun are these colors? Also, take a look at those Tangerine Boutique Button accents! Love it!
I am so impressed by the amazing, vibrant colors on this card by Ayana. I just love the way she did the fabulous Copic sharing on the Whale. It's so perfect! Also, did you notice the new sentiment? The Get Whale Soon coordinates so well with this new stamp!
Ayana brought yet another bright and happy card. Here you can see the new Octopus- doesn't it make a fabulous focal point? The added googly eyes are too fun! For the background, there is a light pattern using the new Wavy Dots. This stamp is great with all of the sea creatures, but as you can see, it makes a great background as well!
I couldn't resist bringing out the adorable new Whale. He is such a fun design, and it's great for adults and kids alike! I went with a fairly simple design, but added some fun rhinestone and scallop elements. How great would it be to receive this card when you're not feeling well?
I knew right when I saw the Sea Friends stamp set, it'd make a super fun background. I love how all the designs in the set work together so well! For my focal point, I used the Octopus and went to town with my Copics. This little critter was so fun to color, but he's also can be paper pieced!
How fun were these cards? I had such a great time viewing each and every one of these cards- I hope that you did too! Did you see some designs that you must have? If so, which ones? So far we have seen some pretty Valentine cards and some happy, vibrant Under the Sea cards. Tomorrow the wonderful Wendy and Lisa have some cards that are "out of this world"- you will definitely want to be sure you come back for them!
Be sure to head to the DT blogs for the details of their cards. They'll have more details of the cards, plus you can leave them some blog love there!
I will see you tomorrow! Have a great rest of your Wednesday!
