Summery Soaring Eagle Cards

On Saturday, September 16, Tricia taught a Soaring Eagle Card virtual workshop on the One of Kind Facebook group. During the presentation, students learned how to make a set of four unique and clever "Soaring Eagle" cards. I couldn't resist making another set of cards featuring two prints from Club Scrap's Hot Summer collection. Read on if you'd like to impress your friends with your cleverness!

Hot Summer Soaring Eagle Cards

Make a set of four 5x7" interactive cards by purchasing the Soaring Eagle instructions download from the online store. You'll also need the following supplies:

(5) 12x12 Plain Papers
(2) 12x12 Prints

Stamps or Cutaparts

To replicate my cards, use the paper assignments below:

Paper A, B, C, D = Surf Shop Aqua, Green; Flower Power Yellow, Orange
Paper E = Black
Paper F = one each of Hot Summer Sun Print, Wave Print

Follow the cutting diagrams carefully. When trimming the printed 12x12s, you may want to get creative to preserve as much of the design as possible. I adjusted the cutting measurements for the Hot Summer prints (#3 in the instructions) so I'd still end up with the same pieces, but from different segments of the print.

Sun Print: Place the print into the trimmer so the artwork is running vertically; cut at 11.5, 7, and 4.5. (Follow the instructions document for the rest of the trimming of the two 4.5x12s and one 2.5x12".)

Wave Print: Place the print into the trimmer so the artwork is running vertically; trim at 7.5, 7, and 4.5". (Follow the instructions document for the rest of the trimming of the two 4.5x12s and one 2.5x12".)

Once all of the trimming and sorting is complete, it's time for final assembly. Mat each printed panel. Adhere each to recreate the 4.5x12 artwork across each section of the fully-extended (open) card. Add stamped sentiments and/or artwork to the small panels trimmed from the print. (Flip to the plain side if needed.)

Are you ready for a closer look at each card?
