Hello! I’m back with another underwater-themed card, this time featuring the Splash Tales die set, the August 2025 Large Die of the Month at Spellbinders. This fun and generous set includes everything you need to build a lively ocean scene. I used repetition to create five colorful fish in a variety of hues—almost like an underwater bouquet—surrounded by flowing plant life. The die-cut sentiment “Make a Splash” is perfect for a cheerful hello or celebration.
-
- Create an A2-size card base from white cardstock.
- Cut Seaside cardstock with the largest die in the Essential Arches set and adhere to base.
- Cut scene elements from a variety of cardstock colors using dies in the Large Die and Small Die sets. (You can see my Small Die set card HERE.) Assemble. Die-cut the sentiment from white cardstock and white foam. Assemble with glitter foam side down. This method ensures that the sentiment is well-supported, although the step is not required.
- Add elements to prepared card base with glue and foam squares.
So cute. Would be a great graduation card! So many colors . . .
I really love the fish and their bright colours! Susan’s idea of using it as a graduation card is so clever!
Its amazing how color saturation variations bring such life to die cuts. Love this. thanks for the lesson and inspiration.
Oooo – love all the colorful angelfish, Jean – another fabulous card!!
