Hi All!! I'm back today with a step by step on how to make this altered version of a Double Display Card featuring Edna Loves the Ocean. This card design is stunning on display and it folds up to a 4" x 6" for easy mailing. It can be adapted for any occasion.

Card

Nautical themed designer paper (used - Echo Park: Ahoy There)

Selection of die cuts for embellishing. 

How to:

Stamp Edna Loves the Ocean onto white card. Colour using your preferred medium, and fussy cut around the outline. Set aside to work on the card. 

For the card base, cut one piece of card measuring 6" x 12". On the long side, score at 2", 4", 8", and 10"

Again on the long side, score down from the top to the 1" mark at 1", 5", 7", and 11". Also score up 1"  from the bottom at 1", 5", 7", and 11".

Turn the card to the back and draw a line from the end (at the 1" mark) of the 1" score line to the 5" score line, and from the 7" to the 11" score line. Repeat on the opposite side. 

Using craft knife, cut across the pencil lines.  

Gently folding the score lines  - mountain, valley, mountain, valley fold 1" sections. Mountain, valley fold the larger sections. Repeat on the opposite side. 

Cut two pieces of card measuring 3" x 6".

Apply adhesive to the end section as shown, and adhere the 3" x 6" piece of card to it. Repeat on the opposite end.

Girls Just Wanna Have SUN | Stamping Bella Tutorial

Hi all!! I'm back with another Stamping Bella tutorial and today I am sharing how to make a Bay Window Card. The image on the card is Edna Loves the Ocean. I've used a sentiment from Summer Sentiments set on the front, and the sentiment that comes with Edna on the inside. 

Supplies:

Edna Loves the Ocean rubber stamp

Summer Sentiments set

Card

Patterned paper (Piatek Trzynastego)

Scoring board and bone folder

Adhesive/foam tape

Oval and scalloped oval dies

How to:

Stamp Edna Loves the Ocean onto white card and colour using your preferred medium. 

Add some highlights using a white gel pen. 

Fussy cut around the outline 

Cut a large scalloped circle from white card, and a smaller stitched oval from patterned paper. 

Adhere the circles together, then adhere Edna to the front using foam tape. 

Set aside to work on the card. 

Cut 2 pieces of white card measuring 5.75" square, and one piece measuring 5.75" x 1" 

Score ONE of the square pieces at 0.5", 2.5", 3.25" and 5.25" 

Valley fold the outer 0.5" score lines and mountain fold the centre score lines. 

Apply adhesive to one of the 0.5" sections and adhere to the other 5.75" square - lining up the edges. 

For the layers cut:

White card:

(2x)  1-7/8" x 5-5/8"

(1x)   5/8" x 5-5/8"

Patterned Paper:

(2x)  1.75" x 5.5"

(1x)  0.5" x 5.5"

(2x)  3/8" x 5.5" (outer 0.5" sections)

(1x) 5-5/8" x 5-1/8" (inside back)

Adhere the paper layers to the card layers (no card layer on the outer 0.5" sections)

Apply 0.5" foam tape to the back of the 5.75" x 1" piece of white card. Adhere it to the inside back of the card, lining it up with the edges on the right hand side. Adhere a piece of coordinating paper measuring 7/8" x 5.5" down onto the 1" strip. 

The 0.5" section on the front will slip in behind this to close the card. 

Stamp the sentiment from Edna Loves the Ocean onto white card and cut out using a stitched rectangle die. Stamp the "Girls just wanna have SUN" sentiment from the Summer Sentiment set and cut out using a small label die. 

Apply foam tape along the 0.75" centre section and adhere both the image and the sentiment down. 

Adhere the sentiment panel inside.
