Tutorial Thursday - Under Water Scene

Hi it's Jennifer here for Tutorial Thursday and I am going to show

you how I created this Under Water Scene Box Card 

I used these two Fun Stamp Sets

Stay Cool

Jaws Because

and the dies I used are

Sea Critters

Sea Shells

Scalloped Rectangles

Under The Sea

Stitched Sun and Clouds

Island 

Birds

First I cut the base 4 3/4 by 12 inches. I then scored 

on the long side 4 1/2, 5 7/8, 10 4/8, 11 6/8.  I then cut down

1 1/2 inches from the top and across just leaving in the one

big piece for the back as in the picture.

Next I traced around the inside of the 2nd largest Rectangle Scallop

 in the biggest short panel. 

 I then cut it out. 

I then Die cut the second largest Scalloped Rectangle and cut in 

3/8 of an inch all the way around to create a frame. Next

I  glued a piece of acetate to it to create our shaker front.

Next I ran 3D tape around the frame.

I taped it to the front of the card then put a few sequins in it. 

Not to many as we need to see through it. On the back to hold the 

sequins in I glued another piece of acetate to cover.

For the inside I cut 2 pieces of Acetate 5 1/4 x 3 1/ 4 and scored in

 from each end on them both 3/8 of an inch. For the large back panel

I cut the blue one 4 1/4 x 4 1/2 and the inked background 4 1/8 x 4 1/4.

I then glued on my fishes, turtles and seaweed some on each layer

 for the 3 D look. I taped the panels evenly spaced to the inside

 of the card.

It's a bit hard to see through the layers with the camera.

I then decorated the top of the card it does fold flat for sending

it just depends how far your die cuts stick out to what size 

envelope you need.

I look forward to seeing what you create with this 

Tutorial.

Happy Crafting

Jennifer
