Cruising On Your Birthday!

This card was made for Craft Roulette #252 whose parameters included a card for a teenager, morning colors, fairy (fairies), and bow(s). I choose to interpret fairy as fairy lights and bow as a bow of a ship.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: My double sided paper from Carta Bella was cut into a 6.5×10-inch rectangle and folded in-half. The wave decorations were cut using Karen Burniston’s Ocean Edges die set.

Cruise Ship Pop-Up: The cruise ship is made with two die sets by Karen Burniston – Boat Pop-Up and Cruise Ship Add-ons. (You can watch assembly videos for both sets by clicking on their links and going to the bottom of the linked pages.)

Pear Blossom Press Twinkle Lights were used to light-up the ship and the ship’s wheel (from Karen Burniston’s Cruise Charms die set with Pear Blossom Press’ “push” stamp) covers the battery and indicates where to press to turn on the lights.

Sentiments:  The “Wishing you…” sentiment is from Karen Burniston’s Cruise Greetings stamp set and the “HBD!” is from Craft Roulette’s Funn Friends #02 stamp set. The sentiments are stamped in black ink on labels cut from Karen Burniston’s Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch and Labels – Crosshatch die sets. You can download the paperclip slip.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope with “HBD!” stamped all over the back flap and sealed with a sticker from the paper collection.
