Friends Are Like Seashells

Hello friends,

I decided I should use some products which I seem to have neglected lately with all the new things available. So I have used the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#158204) and the Seaside Seashells Dies (#156095) on this card today.

The shells have been stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103), Orchid Oasis ink (#159214), Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and Balmy Blue ink (#147105). The star fish are stamped with Pale Papaya ink (#155670).

The shells, starfish & seaweed are all cut with the Seaside Seashells dies. I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) for the seaweed. After cutting the shells and seaweed I dry embossed with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (#154309).

I also embossed a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with the Embossing Folder, then attached the piece of Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper (#160413) to this and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink and cut with a Meadow Die (#155852).

The seaweed, a star fish & the Fresh Freesia shell were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the other shells, star fish & sentiment.

The retired Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels were added to finish the card. I added shimmer to all the stamped images with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

Friends Are Like Seashells

Hi everyone,

I love how the embossing folder gives dimension to the shells from the Sand & Sea Suite (#155980).

For the card front I used Basic White card (#159228) and blended the inks randomly over the card. I used Seaside Spray (#150085), So Saffron (#147109) and Pear Pizzaz (#147104). Then I sprayed the card front with Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046) and when dried, I dry embossed it with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). The card front was matted with Seaside Spray card (#150889) and I wrapped the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon (#150446) around the card, then attached it to the Basic White base card.

The shells and star fish from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368) and these were stamped with Blushing Bride ink (#147100), So Saffron ink and Seaside Spray ink. After cutting these with the Seaside Seashells Dies (#156095) and cutting off the excess pieces, I dry embossed the shells with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (#154309). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) on the shells and star fish, then attached them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Happy Birthday is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (#154507), stamped with Seaside Spray ink and cut with a die from the Ornate Frames Dies (#150664). The Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) were added to the card.

The retiring products used on this card are-

Frost White Shimmer Paint

Seaside Spray card

Seaside Spray ink

Seaside Spray ribbon

I hope you had a crafty weekend.

Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle

Hi friends,

There’s probably not a lot of stamp sets or products that could be suitable for everyone - ladies, guys and children, but I think the Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle (#156205) is one of these.

The base card and card front is Basic White (#159228). I used Balmy Blue card (#147007) for the 3 rectangles. These were cut at 4cm x 8.5cm. The white embossed card was cut at 3.5cm x 8cm. These were embossed with the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder (#152700) and I lightly daubered these with Balmy Blue ink (#147105).

I have stamped the shells, starfish and sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368). The inks used are Balmy Blue (#147105), So Saffron (#147109) and Crumb Cake (#147116). After stamping, I cut the shells and starfish with the Seaside Seashells Dies (#156095). The shells were then dry embossed with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (#154309) and the sentiment was cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). The shells were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I also added some glitter to the shells with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glimmer Brush (#141897).

Hope you are having a relaxing weekend!!

Seabed 3D Embossing Folder with Sand & Sea DSP

Hello and welcome friends,

I love the beautiful sheen on the Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291) and looks great when embossed with the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder (#152700).

This was then attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550) and then a piece of the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper (#154288) was attached.

The sentiment, shell and star fish are from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368) and stamped onto Very Vanilla card. The sentiment and shell were stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and the starfish with So Saffron ink (#147109). The shell and starfish were cut with the Seaside Seashells Dies (#156095).

The sentiment and Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) under the sentiment were cut with Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585). I attached the Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475), then attached the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The shell and starfish were also attached with Dimensionals.

I hope you are having a great day!!

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.
