Are you a Friends TV Series fan? When I saw the Friends of the Ocean Suite and the lobster the first thing I thought of was my son asking for the complete DVD boxed set of the series for Christmas – we loved that series and if you are a fan, you will get this card and understand immediately why I saw this Designer Series Paper and knew I had to make this card!

Measurements:
BASE: Melon Mambo 4 1/4″ x 11″
scraps for the alphabet dies
DSP: (2) 3/8″ x 4 1/4 and (1) 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
Scraps for the alphabet dies
die cut of the large lobster
Basic White CS: 3 1/4″ x 4″

Score the base on the 11″ side at 1/2″, 1″ 4 1/2″, 5″, 5 1/2″, 6″, 6 1/2″, 10″ and 10 1/2″.

Fold the card in half and adhere the 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ DSP piece to the center front panel

Die cut the largest square out of the center of the card front.

Adhere the 3/8″ x 4 1/4″ DSP pieces on the outer panels of the card front.

Adhere the Basic White CS layer on the center large panel on the inside of the card.

Adhere the score lines on either side of the center score line.

Die cut the larger lobster out of the DSP and adhere it to the lower corner of the Basic White window area.

Cut the word Lobster out of the Friends of the Ocean DSP and adhere to the lower portion of the lobster die cut (I closed the card front and using a pencil marked the corners keeping the images inside the corners so you can see the images through the shadow box opening.

Cut the Mini Alphabet dies in Melon Mambo CS and adhere the MY above the lobster on the left-hand side.

Adhere the right-hand panels together.

Adhere the word YOU’RE off of the top of the shadow box opening.

I added a Lemon Lime Lime circle die under the word MY to add color to the card.

This card has a bunch of scoring but is relatively easy and looks impressive!

This shadow box card is a 3D Stunner – try it with your stash and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Stamp the sentiment onto the upper left hand edge of the card base.

Die cut the Sketched Butterflies dies in Real Red, Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, Blueberry Bushel and adhere them around the deckled circle embossed layer tucking them in and under the edges in rainbow order.
