By the Seashore Greeting Card

Here's another project that I created this week using the Stampin' Up! By the Seashore stamp set.

The Designer Series paper is from the Stampin' Up! 2015 spring Occasions catalog. It is called Something Borrowed and the designs are perfect for wedding occasions, but I like how it looks on this card too.

I used the masking technique for most of the shells on this card.

Be sure to check out the Star Crafter award tab at the top of the page to see what benefits you get by letting me be your Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

Have a blessed day,
Trude

By the Seashore Treat Bag

I've been having fun creating projects with the By the Seashore stamp set. Here's the first of 4 projects, using this Stampin' Up! set, that I will be sharing with you. It's a treat bag and a gift tag.

I used the Chevron gift bag and stamped a bunch of shells on Whisper White card stock. The little dots are sparkly, but it doesn't really show up well in the photo. I used a 1/4" circle punch and a 1/8" circle punch to punch circles from Dazzling Details Glimmer paper and scattered them around the piled shells.

For the tag, I used the chevron embossing folder and some Sahara Sand ink rubbed on with a sponge dauber. The dots on the tag are punched from gold foil paper. The strings are linen thread.
