The Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle is definitely a favorite from the new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. It can be ordered now, and you’ll find the links to my store in the Product List below. You may be wondering how friends are like seashells, the answer is…… “you collect them along the way.”

Today’s card is a “slimline”, with a card base of Sahara Sand, 8″ X 7″, folded at 3 1/2″. It is layered with beach sand from Sand & Sea Designer Paper, 7 3/4″ X 3 1/4″. It’s nice that slimline cards will fit in a legal-size envelope.

Before gluing the designer paper to the card base, I taped a piece of Braided Linen Trim to the back of the beach. It was made wider by stretching the Linen Trim apart with my fingers, and it’s held in place by a few Glue Dots.

Shells on a beach

Next, I stamped the shells from the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set in several different colors of Ink (Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Cinnamon Cider, Calypso Coral, and Blushing Bride) on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I fussy cut the shells, and smoothed the lines with a Water Painter. After positioning the shells, I attached the four, larger ones with Dimensionals, and glued the two smaller shells.

I could have used the Seaside Seashell Dies, but I wanted to eliminate the white border on the shells for this card.

The sentiment is from the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set. I stamped “I’m so glad I found you” in Basic Gray Ink on Sand & Sea Designer Paper, cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die, and attached it with Dimensionals.

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
