Hello and welcome to the May Creation Station Blog Hop! Our theme this month is connected to wherever we find ourselves by the water--we are looking out and being inspired by what we "sea". To enjoy each designer's blog in the hop, click on the "Next" link at the end of each blog. We have lots to share with you today.
It has been a while since I've been to a beach by the ocean or a lake in a sailboat; however, my grandson did bring me seashells he found on the beach just a couple of weeks ago. I look forward to walking on the beach with him soon, so I used Easton's seashells as my inspiration for these projects today. I created a set of Basic White and Gold cards using the Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle (#156205, which includes the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set, #154368, and Seaside Seashells Dies, #156095) and the coordinating Seashells 3D embossing folder (#154309).
Each card was created with a simple design and a different type seashell as the focal point. Each shell (except the sand dollar) was stamped in VersaMark ink, then heat embossed with a mixture of 2/3rds Clear embossing powder and 1/3rd Gold embossing powder. Then it was die cut and embossed with the 3D embossing folder. The edges of each shell were heat embossed with Gold embossing powder.
Each sentiment was stamped in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder. Each card base is Basic White Thick card stock.
The sand dollar image was stamped in VersaMark, heat embossed with Gold embossing powder and die cut.
Let's head over to Jeanna Kay's blog to find out what she "seas". It is sure to be wonderful!
Have a wonderful May!
