Spellbinders | Birthday Party Cards Trio with Sea Animals. Video

Hello there! I have fun Underwater Birthday Party cards to share today. There’s 3 different card layout ideas using same supplies and also a video tutorial showing how to make one of the projects.

Keep in mind, you can turn any of those projects into a shaker card by adding a layer of acetate and some sequins or beads in front of the window area to shake inside the card and make it interactive.

VIDEO TUTORIAL

As always, I filmed a video tutorial showing how to create this project from start to finish. I’m hoping you’ll enjoy it. Watch it below or on my Youtube channel.

CARDS DETAILS

You’ll notice that one of my cards uses light gray cardstock for the front panel and others use white. Both looks great – don’t feel like you have to go with white, look for other colors of paper you can try.

I mainly used dies from the Sea Animals set, but I also added some underwater ferns from the Sea Life set. I think it’s important to add some greenery to the scene to make it a bit more realistic. You can also use dies from the Sea Shells set to die cut a few additional elements for your projects.

I die-cut Jellyfish out of gray and white, you can also cut it out of vellum so that it would be a bit see through. Make sure to add embossing to your die cuts, especially the octopus – it adds some really cool texture to this die cut and it just doesn’t look the same without it.

If you’d like you can add some fun accents like air bubbles using glossy accents, clear droplets or Nuvo Drops. I used Nuvo Drops in Morning Dew and added a bunch of bubbles here and there. This particular color of Nuvo drops dries clear and it ends up being a lot more dimensional than glossy accents so I love using it for things like this.
