Another Friends Are Like Seashells Card

 Here's another card featuring Friends Are Like Seashells. 

This might look like a simple card, but look closer. There are some details here that add depth and visual interest to the card. The Crumb Cake layer is stamped with the little dot stamp to make it look more like sand. The shells are die cut with the Seaside Seashells dies and stamped. The die I used is one big die with all the shells connected. I trimmed them apart so I could arrange them how I like. I could have fussy cut them, but this is quicker. Plus, now I have all the seaweed that I cut off to use on a different project. The Bermuda Bay shell is embossed with the Seashells embossing folder to make it a focal point. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the Bermuda Bay shell and parts of other shells while leaving some shells flat so that it looked more like a pile of shells.

Supplies:

Stamps: Friends Are Like Seashells

Dies: Seaside Seashells

Embossing Folder: Seashells  

Cardstock: Basic White, Bermuda Bay, Crumb Cake

Ink colors: Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Balmy Blue, and Crumb Cake

Die Cut Friends Are Like Seashells Card

The Seaside Seashells die set has one large die and several smaller ones. This card was made with the large die from that set and the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set. These two items are available individually or as a bundle.  When you buy a bundle, you get a 10% discount versus buying the products individually. 

I ran the die with Basic White cardstock through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I individually stamped the shells in Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Balmy Blue, and Flirty Flamingo. Because the stamps are photopolymer, it was easy to see where to place them. Next I used a sponge dauber to sponge the seaweed with Mint Macaron and I cut out some of the extra white connector parts between the shells. I mounted the die cut on a layer of Pacific Point cardstock and then on a Basic White card base. Rhinestone Basic Jewels add a little bling.

I hope you enjoyed today's card. I'll have another card made with this bundle on tomorrow's post.

Friends Are Like Seashells Simple Stamping Card

Recently I was part of an online Open House where a half dozen demonstrators got together and showed off different products. I highlighted the the Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle and Seashells Embossing Folder. My goal was to show how the items can be used separately and together. Over the next several posts I'll share those projects here.

This is a #SimpleStamping Card using only stamps, ink, and cardstock. This would make a perfect birthday card for a special friend since it says, "Friends are like seashells...you collect them along the way." You could use it for other occasions or even just because, but I usually think of birthdays first.

Shell Colors: Petal Pink, So Saffron, Pool Party, and Balmy Blue. Dot Color: Mint Macaron. Cardstock: Petal Pink, Pool Party, and Basic White.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Be sure to check back for other projects made with this great set and coordinating items.
