It’s my first time making a giant card and I’m obsessed!!! Full disclosure- I’m not in love with the binding part of it but I’m on a mission to make some improvements.

This mermaid card is about 22 inches! I am a horrible card maker, but this off the mat card is def a favorite ❤️❤️❤️. All the fun details and trying out the foam board to make sure it can stand on its own … it was too fun.

MVPs:
Bearly Art - glue and cubies;
Neato Labels - for the print out of the sentiment ‘you’re mermazing’ (all the details and colors that would have been difficult using cardstock;
12x12 Cardstock - for all the gorgeous silvers, glitter, and bazzill paper.
Excel Blades - the knife!!!! I had to cut a lot of foam for this one to make the card the shape of the mermaid, support it well, and make it mermazing! 😂😆🤩.

All the pieces to make it a very special card 😍🤩- acetate for the ‘floating’ jelly fish and water bubbles, embellishments for the bikini shakers, sticker paper to add the details for the inside of the card and all the beautiful paper 🧜‍♀️.
