Hello my friends! This week I am the hostess at Just Us Girls Challenge #640 Trend Week: Rocker Cards. In case you are not sure what a rocker card is, it is a circle folded in half and stood on its round edge where it can rock back and forth. Just decorate the front however you like. Super easy! Pinterest has lots and lots of ideas and tutorials. Some rockers even have a step built into the base for a variation on the original folded circle. I wanted to make one this week with something on it that in real life sways back and forth, and I thought of a sailboat. Here is what I came up with! First I cut a large circle base out of thick white card stock. Then, I scored it/folded it in half. I chose three colors of blue and aqua to die cut the same size circle out of each of them. Then I used wave dies to cut three different heights of waves. I die cut my boat and then my sun (using a smaller circle than the card base). I started by gluing the sun on the front of my rocker base, then added each layer of waves from the top one to the last one on the bottom. I only put glue along the outside edge of each wave so that I could put the boat and mast between the waves. I added the stars, flag and sequin details, then stamped my sentiment. Finally, I stamped the birds flying in the distance. My card measures approximately 5.5" x 5.25" and I will probably make an envelope with my envelope punch board. I also made an easel/stopper for the inside so my card can't do the splits and fall flat when standing. (See my previous post for a picture and description.) You can make one of these in minutes depending on how simple you decide to make the card front. I know I would be playing with this card all day if I received one and put it on my desk! I hope you will join us this week after you make one and see how much fun it is! Be sure to check out each design team member's blog to see how they made theirs.
