Seaside Palms

 

I wanted to utilize the 'Thoughtful Journey' DSP (Designer Series Paper) and thought that this sheet reflected an underwater seabed. So, I embossed 'Seashells' unto the front background.

I used the 'Seaside Wishes' coordinating set to create the shells. The "window" is from the 'Garden Gateway' die set.

Thanks for splashing in!

Seaside Moments

 

Amy's card was so lovely... I loosely used her design here. Thanks Amy!

I used the Seashells Embossing Folder for the background. The strip of DSP on the bottom is from the 'Softly Stippled' DSP. The sentiment is from the 'Wonderful Moments' Stamp set.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Calming Seashells

 

I saw this card on Pinterest and just fell in love with the color combination! I don't have a name, so if this is your... please let me know. Thanks so much for your lovely card and inspiration! I did change a few things to make the card my own.

I used Wink of Stella on some of the shells to make them shine and I used Glitter Exopy Shapes to make it feel like underwater! The Epoxy Shapes are old, so they did turn a bit yellow while in storage.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Seashell Moment

 

I really liked Priscilla's card (Priscilla's Papercrafts) that I needed one of my own. Although, I did not have the 'By The Bay' DSP (Designer Series Paper), so I created one using the stamps in the 'Friends Are Like Seashells' stamp set. I used the colors - Gray Granite, Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon and Misty Moonlight. 

After embossing the Misty Moonlight cardstock with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder, I lightly added White ink with a sponge brayer to get the definition you see on my card. (Thanks for the tip Priscilla!

For the Sand dollar, I added a 'Wink of Stella' to make it shine.

I used a stylus to get more definition to the sentiment piece, as well.

Thanks for sailing in!

Whimsy Seashells

 

The Stamp Set 'Friends Are Like Seashells", the coordinating dies "Seaside Seashells' and the embossing folder "Seashells" offer many different cards options! It's best to get all 3 as they coordinate so well together. You'd be missing out if you didn't.

You may see a bit of the shimmer on the background of my card. Yes, I did paint the whole background with my Wink of Stella to make it shimmer as in the ocean. I also added Wink of Stella to the die cut seashells.

The sentiment is edged in the 'Stitched with Whimsy'  dies. I did fussy cut with my scissors the edge around the die-cut (I used the actual die as my guide to cut around it).

Thanks for stopping by!
