This is part 2 of a 4 part series of cards featuring the Friends are Like Seashells Bundle which includes the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set and the Seaside Seashells Dies, and the coordinating Seashells 3D Embosssing Folder all from the May 2021-April 2022 Annual Catalog.

These 4 cards were all made similarly using the featured set.  I did all my stamping using the Stamparatus, it took me quite a while to get the pieces lined up on the various clear plates but it was worth the time and gave me the ability to use all the same color on the seashells or a combination of one or more different colors.

You can click on the photo to get a closeup of the cards below - it will show the details and colors much better.

-The bottom mat for this first card was cut from Blushing Bride CS.

-I stamped all the seashells using Blushing Bride Ink on Basic White CS, embossed the piece, and then die cut it.

 This is part 1 of a 4 part series of cards featuring the Friends are Like Seashells Bundle which includes the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set and the Seaside Seashells Dies, and the coordinating Seashells 3D Embossing Folder all from the May 2021-April 2022 Annual Catalog. 

These were 2 of the first cards I made with the featured items. I was just trying out the embossing folder and die to see how easy they were to line up, and it was actually quite easy.  You begin by embossing your cardstock and then line up the large die from the featured Die set and cut it out.

-For the bottom mat on this first card, I cut a piece of Pretty Peacock CS  and then used a Blending Brush to add some splotches of Whisper White Ink, and used the dotted stamp from the featured set with Whisper White Ink to add some more color.

-Then I embossed and die cut the top piece as described above from another piece of Pretty Peacock CS,

once it was cut out I put a few drops of Frost White Ink on one of the clear blocks and used a Blending Brush to add color across the cut piece.  I loved this effect! 

 

-The finished piece was popped up with Dimensionals.

-Lastly I added several of the Elegant Facet Gems.

-The bottom mat on this second card was cut from Pool Party CS.

-The top mat was cut from a piece of Lily Impressions DSP.
