Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting with the “Fun in the Sun” Kit


The first step I like to take is organizing my workspace by creating separate piles for each of the three card types included in the kit. This way, I can easily stay on track and ensure that each card turns out just right. After sorting, I proceed to punch out the charming embellishments and neatly place them in their corresponding card piles.

Next, I carefully stamp all the sentiments needed for each card, ensuring they are cohesive across the front, interior, and back. Allowing the ink to dry thoroughly ensures a flawless finish, free from smudges.

Now, it’s time to assemble the cards. Starting with the first stack, I follow the detailed instructions to master the “mountains and valleys” folding technique, which adds dimension and visual interest to each card. Working from back to front, I affix the ocean piece, then the sand, and finally add the crab holding the sign, creating a dynamic and playful design.

The process remains consistent for the other two card styles, resulting in a trio of beautifully crafted cards that are sure to impress. What an enjoyable and effortless crafting experience!

For the last step in our card-making adventure, we shift our focus to the front of the card, where simplicity meets elegance. Here, we align the corners of the card with those of the surfboard embellishment and finish off our design with a charming starfish and sea shell, adding the perfect finishing touches to our coastal-inspired creation.
