Oh…it’s Thursday again so time for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge! We have such a fun challenge this week.
When I saw Connie’s card she had used the Sea Street set which was the same set that I used. But you can see that although we used the same set and the same sketch…our cards really look NOTHING alike! How fun!
Here’s the details –
- Real Red – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded
- Coastal Cabana – 3 1/2 x 4 3/4, run through Night of Nay 3 5/8 x 4 7/8 and add to card front using dimensionals
- Cut out two prints from the Maritime dsp using the Starburst framelits and add to card front.
- ‘Fussy cut’ a strip of the banners and add to card front using dimensionals
- Stamp octopus using Night of Navy ink and cut out.
- Stamp hello using Real Red, cut out and add to cut off toothpick. Add to octopus using a glue dot.
- Add octopus to card front using a double stack of dimensionals to finish it off.

That octopus always makes me smile. Love how you have him holding a banner!
Mary I love your Sea Street cards but have a question for you? Is there a die for the octopus?? I tried many many times to cut one out….Grrrrrrrr……. never turns out nice like yours. How did you cut them out?? Irene
I cut them out with my paper snips and then a crafter blade fro the small inside parts.

Love how you used the starbursts in place of the squares! Gives a whole new fun look! Love it!
This card is adorable!! I absolutely love the banner that you fussy cut, it is perfect for the card sketch!
So clever with the flag. Adorable!
Just cute as ever.
Cute card – that banner waving octopus is fab! Can’t believe you fussy cut the flags – so worth it though.
So clever – love how he’s waving his little flag!
Love all the fun details on your card and the starburst backgrounds look great! Great fussy-cutting too!
