Sand & Sea Suite

Hello friends,

I knew as soon as I saw the Sand & Sea suite (#155980) it was a must have. I just love the way the die, stamp set and embossing folder all co-ordinate so beautifully.

Firstly I cut the Whisper White card (#106549) with the Seaside Shells Die (#156095). Then I stamped the individual shells from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368) onto the corresponding areas of the die-cut. Normally stamping is done before cutting with a die but in this case you must cut first then stamp. I used Blushing Bride ink (#147100), Seaside Spray ink (#150085), Highland Heather ink (#147103), So Saffron ink (#147109) and Pool Party ink (#147107) for the shells. I sponged the seaweed with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). Next I embossed this with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (#154309). It is easy to line up the image with the embossing folder.

I attached the die cut piece to the Subtles 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#153072). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) under each of the seashells to give a curved shape to the shells, and used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) to glue the rest of the card.

The sentiment is also from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set and stamped with Balmy Blue ink (#147105). A die from the Stitched Rectangles (#151820) was used to cut the sentiment and this was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I am looking forward to playing with all the possibilities that can be achieved with this suite, which also includes designer series paper and embellishments. These products will be available in the January-June Mini Catalogue from 5th January.

Have a great day.
