Seascape - Dimensions and Color

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

This card features the Seascape Bundle by Stampin Up®, some ink and sponge daubers.

I'm in love with this bundle.  I love anything to do with sea life so this one is right up my alley.  What is it about Sea horses that just make us happy!  

To create this card I stamped the bubble images in Coastal Cabana ink onto the card front.  Then I cut out 6 seahorses and colored them using sponge daubers and ink.  I then popped them up using Stampin Dimensionals.  For the eyes I used the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.  The sentiment matte is from Gorgeous Grape and the sentiment is stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto Basic White then popped up on the card front. For the inside I stamped the sentiment as shown and adhered one of the Seahorses in the lower right hand corner.

Kylie's International Project Highlight's Party Puffin!

Welcome to my blog!  I have designed this card for Kylie Bertucci's International Project Highlights and I am hoping for your vote!

For this card I used the Party Puffin stamp set and the Picture This dies!  They work very well together.  I had so much fun with this card!

I used the dies to cut out a frame which I used on a different card and then used these circles that were cut out from the frame to design this card.  The frame and circle were cut from the Ombre Specialty Paper. I used Calypso coral for my card base. 

I popped up all the small circles then stamp the puffin strategically so that he looked like he was playing with a ball.  I also stamped a puffin on the inside of the card in the lower right hand corner.  Before adhere the basic white sheets I colored in the puffin with Stampin Blends.
