Hello friends! Can you believe it’s almost summertime? To help get us all ready for the season, Queen & Company recently released their summer kit, Under the Sea. It is just adorable! Beautiful summer colors, so many adorable ocean themed dies, fun sentiments, and a stunning shaker toppings set. As soon as I saw the preview of the kit, I knew I wanted to use it.
This shaker kit includes enough foam and acetate pieces to make 27 shaker cards. I ended up only making 22 shakers since I wanted to use the dies for some non-shakers as well. I love that the dies work perfectly on their own.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial to make 27 cards.
Because it takes many hours to use up a 6×6 paper pad, this video has been sped up 7 times. The real time recording was just under 8 hours, not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 4 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 24 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Marine Blue – Coredinations
Polar Ice – Coredinations
Fuchsia Fizz – Coredinations
Yellow – Coredinations
Orange – unknown
Purples – unknown
Date Swirl – Bazzill
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. Operation Write Home and some Mojo Monday sketches are the only ones that already provide measurements. For all the other sketches, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Queen & Co. Under the Sea kit.

Awesome job Kristie ♥
What a fantastic set of cards, both shaker and non shaker! I just love what you do with the kits, Kristie. Each card is so fun and showcases the products beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing.
CUTE! I love all the cards! The ink shark and the sand dollar beach scenes are my favorites, but they are all super. I can't wait for my kit to arrive. Thank you for the awesome video and inspiration!
