SUMMER FUN ADORA-BOWL BOX CARDS | with Kathy

Doodle Cuts are some of my most favorite Doodlebug products, and the Adora-bowl Doodle Cuts from the Summer Fun Collection are just the cutest!  I combined them with my love of everything 3D to come up with these fun cards... take a peek...


For my first card I created a fish bowl, complete with castle and floating fishies!  To build my fish bowl, I cut the shaker bowl outlines from some thin chipboard, then covered them with Swimming Pool cardstock from the Summer Fun Coordinating textured cardstock pack.  I used some heavyweight acetate for the "glass" part. On one bowl I added a piece of water paper (water babies b-side) from the 6x8 pad to look like water in the bowl.


I created a top and bottom to my bowls by cutting a piece of paper (1 1/2" x 1 5/8') and score it on the long ends 1/8" on each side.  I glued these to the top and bottom of the fish bowls.  On the bottom of the bowl I cut a piece of kraft candy stripe sprinkles paper to look like sand.  I propped it up using a folded strip of paper, then added the die cut castle and shells from the sweet shells shaped sprinkles.


To make my fish look like they are swimming, I cut thin strips of heavyweight acetate.  I glued the fish to one end, created a folded tab on the other end which I glued to the top of the fish bowl.  To complete my card I added the happy birthday from the puffy word stickers.


I featured the cute little chameleon for my next card.  Again I created the bowl, without the water backdrop.  The tops and bottoms were done in the same manner as the fishbowl.  I cut the rocks, plants and chameleon from the doodle cuts and propped them up with a paper tab on the bottom.  I finished my card with the scripty hello from the Chit Chat pieces.


Isn't he the cutest??? The nice part of these cards is they do fold flat so that I can mail them to friends!  Have you made any projects featuring the Summer Fun Collection?  Be sure to tag @doodlebugdesign so we can see what you made!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!
