SHE SELLS SEASHELLS BY THE SEASHORE

Hello to each of you who I hope I collected as my stamping friends – thanks for popping by again.

When I first saw the SAND & SEA SUITE, my mind went straight to a tongue twister from my childhood.

This suite is amazing.

SAND & SEA SUITE COLLECTION (ENGLISH)

I used one of the dies from the SEASIDE SEASHELLS DIES and one of the sheets of SAND & SEA DSP to cut the larger multiple shells shape. Then, I used the SEASHELLS 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER to emboss the paper.

The paper I chose gave the shells a lovely ombre transition from Seaside Spray to Flirty Flamingo, with some splashes of Sahara Sand.

When the shells are popped up, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, onto a panel of PEARLESCENT SPECIALTY PAPER they look stunning.

I stamped the sentiment, from the FRIENDS ARE LIKE SEASHELLS STAMP SET, in Seaside Spray and cut it using one of the dies from the STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES.

I thought about adding some CLEAR WINK OF STELLA but decided not to. Instead, I added some of the OPAL ROUNDS to achieve extra shimmer.

I have a friend who has moved to Brisbane for a new job and I look forward to sending this card to her.

Who would you send this card to?

Thanks, again, for popping by … happy stamping.

TRUE LOVE TRIANGLES

Hello my crafting friends – I am so pleased that you have popped by.

I have used the TRUE LOVE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER again for today’s project. This time I teamed the DSP with the STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES to create a decagon shape. I left it open, and popped up, so that I could inset the final two triangle pieces into the space.

This gave me a chance to showcase all 12 designs of the DSP. And they pop against the Mossy Meadow card stock. I deliberately chose not to add any colour to this card other than the card stock and stamped sentiment.

I used the VINE DESIGN BUNDLE to stamp and die cut the sentiment banner.

This was also a perfect time to use some MATT BLACK DOTS.

One of the ways I enjoy using DSP is to use a strip of it on the inside of the card and on the back flap of the envelope.

Cutting the triangle shapes was so quick and easy using my MINI STAMPIN’ CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE – I call it my ‘little ‘boss‘ and my full sized machine my ‘big boss‘.

I’m very pleased with the way this card turned out. I really enjoy playing with new products AND new ideas.

What do you think?

I need to use my STITCHED TRAINGLES DIES more often!

JUST ADD COLOUR

Hello lovely ones – thanks for popping by to see my latest project.

Yesterday I shared a card that used some of the TRUE LOVE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER. It only had a little bit of colouring and it was very subtle.

Today’s project brings the colour and lots of it. I used Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Poppy Parade Blends to colour a 2-3/8″ (6cm) strip of one of the DSP designs.

The OVAL OCCASIONS BUNDLE was perfect for this gift box. The scalloped shape from the DOUBLE OVAL PUNCH is a great size for the top of the box.

I enjoy having gift boxes on hand – ready to fill and give.

The LINEN THREAD makes an awesome multiple bow. The CLEVER CLASP holds the opening closed very effectively.

Now it’s time fill it with lots of delicious chocolates and give it to someone special.

Thanks again for popping by … happy stamping.
