Manly Monday-Seaside Notions Jar Shaker Card

Four Manly Monday cards using the Seaside Notions stamp set by ©Stampin' UP! and the Jar Shaker Domes. I've been wanting to make this card for a couple of weeks now and collected these seashells the first week of July from Newport Beach. The waves were too big that day and so my daughter and I filled a baggie full of little shells that would fit into these dome shape jars. My son says he doesn't think he looks "Manly", so I may be pushing it. But we can all agree that everyone loves collecting seashells in my house! Scroll down to see lots of photos, list of supplies, measurements, and steps with photos.

All Four cards, some slightly different.

No sequins on the side to make it look more manly for this one.

If you don't have easy access to little seashells like me, you can still make this card using just the sequins. Sequins only on the left and shells and sequins on the right.

You can make this card too by following the directions below and ordering from my online store by clicking the "Shop with Me" link above.

Seaside Notions Stamp Set

Seabed 3D Embossing Folder

Steps

4. Glueing only the bottom and edges of the Crumb Cake, attach to the Pool Party.
5. Use the Jar Punch, pushing it all the way up, and punch out both layers.
6. Next, look at each photo below for the last steps.

Step 7: Lay cut out image over the cardbase. Put a little glue on the back of the jar you punched out and insert where the missing jar spot is.

Step 8: Remove bigger layer and set a side, leaving the glued jar on the cardbase.

Step 9: Place Whale of a Time Sequins on top of the jar.

Fun Fold Friday: Whale Done

Today's  Fun Fold Friday is an accordion fold card using the Whale Done Stamp set by ©Stampin' UP! This card is pretty easy (the DSP does all the hard work) but has lots of measurements! I used a piece of printer paper first to make sure my measurements were right. The best part about this card is that it just keeps on going and going and has secret messages spots! What will you put in yours?  

Quick measurements

The accordion card opened up all the way reveals all it's secrets.  I used the leftover DSP to add some to the card folds but the card in my video leaves both secret message spots open. Watch my video below, shop at my store, and follow the directions so you can make your own Fun Fold Card.

Tuesday's Tip at Ten: Stampin' Dimensional Edges

 

When you have used up all of the Stampin' Dimensionals you can either cut them up and use them as pieces or keep them whole and use them to make shaker cards with! Shaker cards work best with a continuous strip of foam adhesive and Stampin' UP! sales foam strips but you could totally make a shaker card with the dimensional outline (the leftovers)! I hope this tips helps you shake it up a little!

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!

Manly Monday- World's Greatest Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set

 

Four Manly Monday cards using August 2020 Paper Pumpkin stamp set, World's Greatest! Paper Pumpkin kits tend to not be manly based, so you can guess the joy this stamp set and kit brought when it leaned towards the manly side. So, I used some of the stamps that came in the set but not featured in the kit and love the results! My only problem, I couldn't decide if adding a blue bow made it less manly?? What is your vote? Bow or No Bow?

All 4 cards together! 

With Bow

No Bow

I think I love it more with the bow but honestly, both are great!! You can make these alernative cards too using your August 2020 Paper Pumpkin stamp set and by following my steps below.
