Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome! I have two cards for you today, using one die set. I recently purchased Spellbinders Windows With a View Bundle and have been playing with the Coastal Escape View die set. I created two different cards, one underwater and one a view of a tropical island.  This is probably the best bundle of dies that I have ever purchased. I can't wait to create more cards using the Window With a View dies.  I started with making the under water card. I began with an A2 sized card base, using Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock. I then used a stripped blue patterned paper as a background. I thought this looked almost like pool tile.  I then die cut the port hole using gray cardstock and a mirrored silver cardstock. I also die cut a circle using the largest circle die in this die set and acetate.  I used the port hole die and cut the inner circle out from smooth white cardstock. I used this to create the underwater background. I used Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire.  I then die cut the fish and coral from smooth white cardstock. I colored the coral in using Distress Oxide ink in Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry. I also used Simon Says Stamps Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Lilac and Amethyst. I colored the seaweed in using Distress Oxide inks in Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness and Cracked Pistachio.  I colored the fish in using Copic markers. I die cut a sandy bottom from another circle of smooth white cardstock. Then I created the sand look using Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and Antique Linen.  I added all the pieces together using Lineco Neutral pH glue and set this aside to dry.  I then glued the acetate to the port hole piece. Once dry, I added double sided foam tape to the back of the port hold piece. I glued down the background to the card front.  I then added some shaker bits (glitter, blue sprinkles and clear bits) to the background. Then I carefully place the acetate port hole over the background, pressing hard to secure it in place. I then added the anchor and sea shell to the front.  I stamped the sentiment using Spellbinders Sending Sunshine Sentiments, VersaMark ink and white embossing powder on black cardstock.  For my second card, I started by creating my background pieces. I die cut a rectangle from smooth white cardstock and using MFT's Basket Weave stencil and Distress Oxide Ink in Tea Dye and Rusty Hinge, created the weaved background. I also added Distress Ink in Vintage Photo around the edges of the background.  I then die cut the port hole piece from kraft and black cardstock.  I die cut a port hole background circle using smooth white cardstock. Then I created the sunset background using Distress Ink in Squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves and Faded Jeans.  I die cut some waves using a light and dark blue cardstock. I die cut the island and palm tress from smooth white cardstock and colored them in using Copic markers.  I also die cut the tropical flowers and leaves from smooth white cardstock and colored them in with Copic markers. I added some glitter gel to the centre stem of each flower.  Lastly, I stamped the sentiment using the same sentiment stamp set, VersaMark ink and white embossing powder. I also added black shiny bling to the holes around the port hole on both cards.  So one die set can create two very different but very beautiful cards!
