Milestone Birthday – 10 years old – B10c

Cardstock: Basic Gray, White, black, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight.

Ink: black, Marina Mist, Pacific Point.

Stamp: For a Friend.

Accessories: sponge, Coluzzle, Stampin Chalk Marker, pencil, wax paper, wiggle eyes.

Punches: 5 Petal, Blossom Petals Builder, ¾” circle, ½” circle, sun by Carl.

Font: Calibi size 28 for the #10.

After making Marie’s shark punch HERE, I thought – why can’t I make the same shark head using my Coluzzle to make a bigger shark?  Not sure he really looks like a shark or whale but I hope my 10 year olds think he’s just fine!

Here is what you need to make this.  Not sure why the owl punch is listed – I think I planned to use the little circles for the eyes but changed my mind so just ignore the owl punch!

Cut one grey and one white oval about 4” tall using the Coluzzle.

Cut one black oval about 3” tall using the Coluzzle.

Punch his tail using the 5 Petal punch in grey.

Punch two fins using a petal from the Blossom Petals Builder punch.

Sponge all pieces in black ink.

Fold all ovals in half with right sides together.

Draw teeth on the edge of the black oval with a Stampin Chalk Marker or a white gel pen.  Set aside.

Kiss the top part of the white oval to the top part of the grey oval as shown.

Glue into place.  Glue the black oval to the white oval matching the fold lines as shown.

Add tail and fins.  I found this easier to do if I set my shark on the top of the card so they would fit for width and height so they would fit on the card.  Set this aside until the card front is prepared.

I stippled the card front with a ball of wax paper and Marina Mist ink.

Cut two, 2” strip of Marina Mist cardstock a bit wider than the card.

Alternate between the ½” and ¾” circle punches to make the waves.  Sponge with Pacific Point ink.

Draw a line with a pencil at 2-1/8” from the bottom of the card.  Adhere a strip of waves matching the pencil line.  Add a second row of waves under this.  Trim edges.

Draw another pencil line at 2-7/8” from the bottom of the card.  Line up the bottom of the fins with the pencil line and glue in place.

Erase pencil lines.

Stampin' Up! Foam ink pads

Each of the pads comes with a multi-language label affixed to the bottom.  Remove the entire label and select the correct language and adhere it to the flat end of your ink pad, so you see the color and the color name.

From one of the remaining labels, cut off some of the color and stick it on the inside of the open pad.  Whether your ink pad is open or closed, you can see the color especially if you have several pads open.

Also, fill the top of your re-inker lid with glue.

Punch a 1/8” or ¼” circle   and stick it to the top of your re-inker making it easy see the right color.
