Seashell cards handmade

Hi there friends.....wishing all the mamas out there--pet mamas too--a very Happy Mother's Day! This week at The Paper Players, the lovely LeAnne is our hostess with a beautiful color challenge: Blue, green and natural....happy sigh! So pretty together and the colors reminded me of the beach, which reminded me that I soon needed a retirement card for a dear friend who....loves the beach! So, today's card was born: It was very difficult to get a good photo of the colors. I guess the light…

Hello –Happy Weekend! I’m here today to share a relaxing card using some new Honey Bee Stamps!!! Yet another card I’d really like to live in right about now! :) This new Honey Bee…

Hi Stampers! Every year about this time I hear the ocean calling! While a trip to the seashore is not in “the cards” this year, ocean themes can be featured in “my cards.” 😁 Today I have four cards with ocean themes to share. The cards are no layer cards. I used masks to allow me to apply ink for the focal point. Along with the masks I used blending brushes to create the background for the focal point. Here are the cards: And here are my masks! For three of the masks I used 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”…

Today's most important message is "Happy Birthday, Sydney"! We truly are blessed with a beautiful granddaughter. The stamp set I used for today's cards, By The Seashore, is one I have not purchased as I have other seashell stamps. But it keeps calling my name each time I flip thru the catalog. So, I borrowed Jen's set and created these two cards~~one colorful, one monochromatic. I used watercolor paper on the colorful version as I wanted to aqua paint a little "sand" as a background for the…

I'm so enjoying the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle that I keep playing with it! This time, I've used the sketch at Inspire.Create as inspiration. There's so much to love about this set. In this case, I've used the outline stamps for the sand dollar and the starfish and coloured them with Stampin' Blends. The seashell is a DistINKtive stamp, so is lovely by itself. I've added in stamped sea-foliage (which come with matching dies) and cut some seaweed from the large die cut in the set as…

Hi everyone! LeAnne here, and I must say, it was so much fun to see all the beautiful creations using Claire's color palette last week! They were almost autumn-ish, and I've seen a lot of fall stamping lately, but I am still hanging on to summer! We have a lot of warm weather left! So for my clean and simple challenge this week, we're doing a beach theme: And thank you to Nance, for providing a personal photo for my challenge this week! (Isn't that a beautiful beach scene?) There are so many…

Hello stampers and happy Friday to you. Today I am sharing a lovely card using Friends are Like Seashells. What a beautiful suite of products this is! It will be the focus of my next Parcels in the Post. Friends are Like Seashells I love walking along the beach and I am always on the hunt for pretty shells. Nice ones are often hard to find, you need to be persistent and watchful. This is just like friends! The older you get the more you realize how important true friendship is and the more…
