Seas Dies

Hi everyone,

I was asked to make a card with mermaids. These cute mermaids are long retired but thought they were perfect when using with the current Seas Dies (#157857).

The mermaids are from the (retired) Magical Day stamp set. I stamped them using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). They were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Polished Pink (#155520), Highland Heather (#154887), Daffodil Delight (#154883) were used for the bodies. I used SU1000 (#158465) for the face and arms, and SU600 (#159462) & SU700 (#159463) for the hair. These colours with the numbers are a variety of “skin tone” colours and range from light to dark. The co-ordinating (retired) Magical Mates Dies were used to cut the mermaids.

I adhered Adhesive sheet (#152334) onto the blue/green Supple Shimmer Specialty Paper (#158068) before cutting this with a Seas die (#157857). I dry embossed the beautiful Mother Of Pearl Specialty Paper (#157666) with the (retired) Seabed Embossing Folder. I attached the Supple Shimmer paper to the Mother Of Pearl card. I daubered the edges with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097) then attached this to the Basic White base card. 

I stamped the sentiment from the (retired) Friendly Hello stamp set and cut it with a Pretty Pillowbox Die (#156321). The sentiment and mauve mermaid were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the other 2 mermaids with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Seas The Day Bundle

Hi & welcome friends,

The Seas The Day Bundle (#157858) consists of the Seas The Day stamp set (#157849) and the Sea Dies (#157857) and have been used for this cute card.

The fish, octopus, star fish & crab are all from the Seas The Day stamp set. The inks used are Real Red (#147084), Pacific Point (#147098), So Saffron (#147109), Crumb Cake (#147116) and Pale Papaya (#155670).

I cut the Basic White card front (#159228) with a die from the Sea dies, then I coloured this with Blending Brushes (#153611) using Balmy Blue ink (#147105) around the outside and Pear Pizzaz (#147104) and Daffodil Delight (#147094) for the seaweed.

I dry embossed the Balmy Blue card (#147007) for the background with the retired Seabed Embossing folder, then attached the die cut piece on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Calming Camellia stamp set (#158117) and stamped with Pacific Point ink and cut with a Bouquet Of Love die (#157641). The sentiment, fish & octopus were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the star fish & crab to the card.

Supple Shimmer Specialty Paper

Hi again friends,

If you like some glitter on your cards you will want to get your hands on the beautiful Supple Shimmer 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#158068). This pack consists of pink and blue glitter paper and both have been used on this card. This was very difficult to photograph with all the glimmer so looks much nicer in real life.

Another beautiful paper is the Mother Of Pearl 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#157666) and I have used this for the background. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). I adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the blue shimmer paper before cutting with the die from the Sea Dies (#157857) then attached this to the Mother Of Pearl Paper. The Pink Shimmer Paper was cut with the seahorse die from the Sea Life Dies (#155684). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Thinking Of You” is from the Soaring Swallows stamp set (#157804) and stamped with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097). I cut this with a die from the Beautiful Shapes Dies (#158046) and also attached it to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Instead of adding embellishments I used the dots from the die cut.
