Friends Are Like Seashells: Beautifully Embossed Birthday Card

4 Feb
Friends Are Like Seashells: Beautifully Embossed Birthday Card via @denise34

Let’s take a trip to the ocean with this beautiful birthday card using the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set. This fabulous stamp set is part of the Sand & Sea product suite which is packed full of fun elements for your paper-crafting projects!

The colour combination that I used is from this week’s creative challenge. When I was deciding on a card to create with these colours a beach theme came to mind. I decided this was the perfect chance to spend a little time with the Sand & Sea Suite from the new Mini Catalogue!

I can not get over the detail and elegance in the Sand & Sea product suite. There are so many beautiful images and sentiments, not to mention the die cut & embossing. I can see many, many projects with this suite in the future!

Layers of beauty on this card

Check out the details in those seashells! They were easy to create in just 4 simple steps using the Sand & Sea product suite.

  1. Cut the large die image out using Pearlescent Specialty Paper. This is what gives that lovely shimmer effect to to the shells.
  2. Stamp the matching images on to the die cut shape. This is made very easy with the use of the Stamparatus!
  3. Place and line up the stamped die cut into the Seashells 3D embossing folder and run through your Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.
  4. Cut the shells away from the other parts of the die cut. Voila! Gorgeous seashell embellishments to use on your next project!!
