Birthday shell fan technique card

For my card today, I've used the Shell Collecting stamp set along with some techniques to make this beach scene.  I think it's very unique and I love how it turned out.  It took three tries to get the vision in my head down on paper, but I am pleased with the result and I hope you are too.  You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel to see how I achieved this look.  You will find it here by clicking this link. It's really pretty simple with some masking, ink blending and a little creativity.  I hope you give it a try.

Seaside Bay pop up fun fold card

 Today’s project continues with the Seaside Bay stamp and die bundle, but also uses a sentiment from Friends are Like Seashells.  These two stamp and die sets pair beautifully together.  I saw this fun fold over on Pinterest with a card by the Stamping Ninja.  I altered it to fit my stamps and dies.  To see how I've put this card together, head on over to my YouTube channel HERE:

Whale of a Time ocean scene thank you

My card for you today uses the Whale of a Time suite (154126) from Stampin’ Up!  This is a beautiful suite of products that includes ribbon, Designer Series Paper, sequins, a 3D embossing folder, stamps and a punch.  These products can be purchased as a suite, as a bundle or individually depending on your desires.  I began with an A2 card base in just jade,  I embossed a piece of balmy blue cards stock with the Seabed 3D (152700 ) embossing folder (stunningly beautiful in my opinion), cut it to 4 x 5 1/4” then spritzed with champagne mist shimmer paint mixed with rubbing alcohol.  To this I added a layer of the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper (152460) cut at 2 x 3 1/4”.  I then stamped two seahorses and the coral and kelp on whisper white.  These images are from the Whale Done stamp set (152470).  It can also be purchased in a bundle (154053) with the Whale punch to save 10%, although we did not use the punch today.  The seahorse is stamped in balmy blue, then thumped with  a Stampin’ write marker in misty moonlight to create the two-toned color on him.  I used the same method on all of my images to create a multi-dimensional image.  For the second seahorse, I stamped in bumblebee ink and thumped in calypso coral.  The kelp is stamped in pool party ink and thumped in pretty peacock.  For the coral, I stamped in calypso coral ink and thumped in cajun craze.  I added a piece of pool party sheer ribbon to the embossed layer and tied a bow.  I then added my sentiment on top of the ribbon.  This piece is cut at 1 1/2 x 3/4” and stamped just jade and thumped with pretty peacock.  I did have to fussy cut the images as the stamp set does not have coordinating dies.  For the finishing touch, I added sequins from the Whale of a Time sequins (152461).  

I love how it turned out.  If you would like to purchase any of these products or any additional Stampin’ Up! Products, head on over to my online store by clicking on the shopping cart in the upper right.  I would love to earn your business.  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking time from your busy day.

Until next time, stay safe, be healthy and make it a great day.

Happy stamping,

Teresa
