Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is Celebrate! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
I decided to…make a birthday card! And I decided to use a brand new stamp bundle – so new, in fact, that…unless you’re a SU Demonstrator…you’re going to have to wait to get it until the Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog goes live on 5 Jan 21! I picked the gorgeous – stupendous! – Sand & Sea Suite. The anchor is the Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle and the Sand & Sea DSP. There’s also gorgeous Pearlescent Specialty Paper and Opal Rounds embellishments and….the amazeballs Seashells 3D Embossing Folder! Take a look-see:
The layout is from this week’s Fab Friday sketch challenge.
I started with a gorgeous piece of Sand & Sea DSP that I matted on Blushing Bride cardstock for the card front.
Next – I took a piece of new Pearlescent Specialty Paper and the big, wait-until-you-see-what-this-can-do die from the Seaside Seashells Dies set and cut out the wunnermus seashells “scene”.
Using the stamps in the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set, I stamped the die cut to add the images. I used Sahara Sand for the large and small cone shells, Seaside Spray for the two clam shells and Blushing Bride for the largest shell-whose-name-I-don’t-know! 😉 I used my Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Combo to color all the grasses.
And then…the magic happened! 😉
I placed the colored die cut inside the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder – it fits PERFECTLY into the image in the folder…
…and ran it thru my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It. Works. Like. A. Charm!! 🙂
Can you see all that beautiful embossed detail? If not – you’ll have to take my word for it for now! 😉
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I popped the die cut onto my card front.
I used a Stitched Shapes square die to cut a piece of Vellum cardstock and one of the circle Stitched Shapes dies to cut the center out. Then I used some Glue Dots – at the bottom of the square – to adhere the square to the card front.
I cut two lengths of new Blushing Bride 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered them in a bit of an “x” with more Glue Dots.
On a strip of the Pearlescent Specialty Paper, I stamped the Friends Are Like Seashells sentiment in Blushing Bride. Tip: ink stays wet longer on this Pearlescent paper – so….use your Heat Tool or go get a snack while it gets good and dry! When it was dry, I snipped some banner ends and then popped it on with Dimensionals.
I popped some of those pretty new Opal Rounds onto the card front and the Vellum (cleverly hiding a few extra Glue Dots!!) and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Friends Are Like Seashells in Blushing Bride on a Very Vanilla panel. Over it, in stamped-off-once Sahara Sand, I added a sand dollar from the set. Around that, I added “bubbles” in stamped-off-once Seaside Spray.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Blushing Bride mat and into my Sahara Sand card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got a full-strength Sahara Sand sand dollar on the front. I made a sticky note mask for it and then stamped the clam shells in Seaside Spray. I pulled up the mask and added more bubbles…
…and added more of the Sand & Sea DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Wow. Just…wow! Y’all – this Sand & Sea Suite is seriously beautiful! From the DSP with the same name…
To the Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle – with that big die that FITS IN THE SEASHELLS 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER!! Yes – I DID mean to yell – it’s that BIG!!
I hope you like – and are frantically searching for your wish list!! 😉

WOW!! This is just gorgeous Mary 🙂 Love your design and those shells are stunning.
Thank you so much, Karen! 🙂
This is gorgeous, Mary. I can’t wait to get my suite on Friday.
Excited to see what you create, Karen – thank you so much! 🙂
Just Beautiful Mary! Can’t wait to get mine!!😊
Thanks, Akiko – looking forward to seeing what you do with it! 🙂
I’ve got this bundle on my list for sure! You can’t go wrong with classic seashells! I love how you used the vellum circle cut out for our sketch; no sense in covering any of that lovely background! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
Thanks so much, Amanda!! I struggled until I remembered….VELLUM!! 🙂
Seriously beautiful card, Mary! Such a pretty suite of products. I love that you go the extra mile for your envelopes! It’s an inspiration at those times I feel like leaving mine naked.
Glad to be of help, Donna! I just can’t call it “done” until the envelope has something on it! 🙂 Thanks so much for the kind words! 🙂
So beautiful, Mary – I just ordered this suite this morning! Can’t wait to play with it, you’ve given me great inspiration! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
Have fun with it, Heather – it’s gorgeous! Thanks so much! 🙂
BEAUTIFUL card, Mary. Love this suite, I want it ALL! I NEED it all! #1 on my must-have list.
Yeah! I know you’re going to love it when you get it! And…being in a Host Club like you are is a GREAT way to GET IT ALL!! Thanks, Pat! 🙂
WELL! Being a landlubber, I thought I would pass on this set, though I thought the DSP lovely, and I do like seashells. (Sigh) I guess I might have to add this to my next order.
That said, you created another beautiful card. Love the pastel shades and that embossing folder is wonderful. I am a sucker for EF and dies, so this looks like a winner.
I know – I love embossing folders and this one is just next-level! 😉 Thanks, Julie! 🙂
Love how the embossing folder works with the stamps! So pretty!
Thank you, Cheryl! It’s a most wonderful set! 🙂
Just seeing this wonderful post!
Absolutely love this set and
I think your card is beautiful!
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much, Vicki! 🙂
