For my card, I combined the new release with previously released items for an ocean themed card that is 5 x 7"***    All the dies used are linked below for you and later this morning I will post a quick video here so you can see the card in action.


I was excited to see that frame for the Label Charm Pop Up - it finishes off the front opening as well as gives you even more label sizes for layering.



I think my favourite of the new borders is the crab one ... they snip apart so easily that you can add little crabs wherever you want them. And that Jellyfish? ❤️



***NOTE:  I did use a larger die cutting machine but if your machine will only accept a 6" width you can always make your 5 x 7" card in two pieces. For that, the front would measure 5.5 x 7", scoring 1/2" down the left side. The back of your card would be 5 x 7". After die cutting, simply add adhesive down that 1/2" strip and adhere it to the back side of the back card panel!




Late last year I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since many of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. 

Card Tally for 2023
January - 53 cards
February so far - 45 cards

Additional Supplies:
Patterned paper - Mermaid Tails, Kaisercraft
5 x 7" card blank and envelope
White cardstock
Black & green fine point markers
Grey alcohol marker
