I am just LOVING these beach toy and accessories dies from Rubbernecker and I just had to make another slimline beach card. I love that this Wonky Squares slimline insert die gives such a playful feel to this card and gives me three perfectly sized windows for three tiny scenes!
For this card I used the Slimline Solid Deckle, Slimline Inside Wonky Square, Sand Toys, Sand Castle, Deckle Hills, Waves, and Small Birds.
The Slimline Frame and Card Base
- Cut the 3.50″ x 8.50″ card base using yellow cardstock and score lengthwise at 3.50″.
- Use aqua cardstock to cut a 3.25″ x 8.25″ rectangle layer and attach to the card base using ATG adhesive.
- Cut the solid slimline using yellow cardstock, place it back on the cutting platform, line up the inside slimline die and run though the machine a second time.
- Use Kraft cardstock to cut the sand layers and aqua cardstock to cut the waves.
- Attach the sand layer and waves to the back of the frame using ATG adhesive.
- Cut a 2.25″ x 7.00″ strip of white cardstock and apply light blue ink to create a sky background to fit behind the frame openings.
- Attach the sky layer to the back of the frame using strips of mounting tape.
- Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the slimline frame and attach it to the card base.
The Sand Castle, Beach Toys and Birds
- Cut the sand castle using Kraft cardstock, assemble the pieces and attach them together using rolled up ropes of double stick tape.
- Attach a small piece of mounting tape to the back of the sand castle, tuck it in behind the sand layer and attach it to the card base.
- Cut the beach toys using red, yellow and white cardstock.
- Attach the pieces together using glossy accents.
- Tuck the bucket and beach ball in behind the sand and waves and attach with small pieces of mounting tape.
- Cut the birds using white cardstock, apply light gray ink to the wings using a mini applicator and attach to the frame using tiny pieces of mounting tape.
Here are all the fun things I used to make this card:
