"Treasure the Small Things" FantaSea Easel Card by Val!

☀️ Happy June Creative Friends ☀️

"Treasure the Small Things"

FantaSea Easel Card

by Val

Today LeighSBDesigner Val has a FINtastic FantaSea easel card to inspire you featuring my FantaSea Collection and brand new MERMAZE Collection of Decorative Digi Paper Packs!

To create her FINtastic scene Val used my adorable Bastet CatFish FantaSea Pet and Anubis DogFish FantaSea Pet overlaid on a sheet of the printed digi paper called "Vintage Starfish" from my new Vintage Sand and Sea Decorative Digi Paper Pack. She paired the scene up perfectly with the "Treasure the Small Things" block senti from my Pearl Balleigh MerMonster and Senti set.

Val used these supplies to make her FINtastic easel card:

Promarkers, White Gel Pen and Black Sharpie Pen

Hobby Craft Smooth White Cardstock and Crafter's Companion Peach and Black Cardstock

"Mermaid Scales"

Layered Circle SVG Cutz Card

with Anubis FantaSea Pet

by Leigh

My round birthday card today features Anubis DogFish FantaSea Pet and the FINtastic senti included in the set plus the “Mermaid Scales” Layered Circle SVG Cutz set from my brand new FantaSea Collection🧜🏻‍♀️

My new “Mermaid Scales” Layered Circle SVG Cutz is a mer-mazing 9 piece cutting file set that includes 6 mermaid scale layers and 3 mat layers. Use this FINtastic set to create round cards, ornaments, decorate card fronts etc, plus I designed it to go perfectly with the FantaSea MERMAIDS Letter Page Circle Make-a-Book kit, use it to decorate the covers and pages for truly mermazing book making! LeighSBDesigns SVG Cutz are for popular electronic cutting machines compatible with SVG files like Silhouette, Cricut and Scan n Cut. All my SVG Cutz are designed in Silhouette Design Studio and include both Silhouette Studio 3 and SVG files.

This “Mermaid Scales” Layered Circle SVG Cutz set is designed to work with both 8.5 x 11 (A4) and 12 x 12 cutting mats so you've got lots room to play with resizing if you want to, I made this project using the size it comes in with the largest mat measuring just a hair over 5 x 5 inches. I used 2 shades of purple from Crafter's Companion heavy weight 12 x 12 textured cardstock to create my alternating scale layers. With scissors I cut panels from both colours and laid them out on my Silhouette Cameo 4's 12 x 12 inch cutting mat then lined up the scales on my computer screen to match. To alternate the colours I worked left to right and started with scale #1 at the top of the light purple panel, scale #2 on the darker purple panel then back to the light shade for scale #3 and so on. If you've got enough space on your cardstock it doesn't hurt to add additional scales as back up plus, if you're going to make 2 or more cards then cut all the scales from both colours and mix and match them!

Next I cut the circle layers included in the set. I used 138lb (250gsm) heavy weight white cardstock to cut 2 of the largest circle mat which I then used to make the round card base. I used black cardstock for the middle mat layer and smallest circle from the lighter purple cardstock. You will use the smallest mat layer as the base for the mermaid scales to adhere to. The mat does peek out at the bottom beneath the last scale so make sure you cut it out from the alternating colour.

Do a dry fit first to get a feel for the layering and then adhere the scales in place starting with the bottom scale layer first and work upwards lining up the scale edges with the edge of the mat layer as you go for perfect overlapping scales.

TOP TIP:

I just applied a dab of glue to each scallop and a bit on the top edge as I worked upwards and then put a line of glue along the top edge of the last scale to make sure the mermaid scale layer was fully adhered to the base layer.

I then applied Waterfall Stickles glitter to the circle edge for a touch of magical mermaid sparkle and to cover the cardstock's exposed white core edges. I also used the same glitter on the black mat...so fun how the colour of the glitter changes depending on the colour of the cardstock beneath.

The layered mermaid scales make a mermazing circle that you could use to decorate the cover of the MERMAIDS Letter Page Circle Make-a-Book SVG Cutz or make FINtastic ornaments or a fun round card like I did with today's make🧜🏻‍♀️

The recipient of this birthday card is a dog person so the star of this card is Anubis DogFish FantaSea Pet and the FINtastic senti included in the set. I coloured this adorable puppy fish in Adobe Fresco on my ipad and printed him and senti out. I then die cut them both out using Crafter's Companion torn edge dies and edged them with the Waterfall Stickles glitter.

I also printed and die cut out the Happy Birthday senti included in the Coral Balleigh MerMonster and Senti set for the inside of my card and decorated it with Stickles too. To make my folded round card base I scored a fold line near the top of the back round panel and cut off a bit off the bottom to allow the round card to stand then just glued the two circles together and added the senti inside.

For even more pretty magical shimmer I painted Anubis and all the bubbles with a Spectrum Noir clear sparkle brush glitter pen. It's always hard to capture just how pretty the sparkle is in real life but the next pic gives you a good idea!

I then decorated the card front with the Anubis panel applied with glue and the senti popped up with low profile pop dots for just a little bit of dimension.

For my finishing touch I added self adhesive pearls in hot pink!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial and will give this fun mermaid scales round card a try🧜🏻‍♀️
