Heat embossed Seaside Notions

For my second card using Seaside Notions this week, I decided to use white heat embossing.

This is grapefruit grove card stock (which will be retiring at the beginning of June so stock up now if you love it) and I stamped the shells in versamark and used the white embossing powder. Oddly, the whisper white sentiment that I prepared looked too stark so I’ve actually used very vanilla. I added some of the brand new gilded gems which are part of the Ornate Garden Suite which has been released early and is available for you to purchase now.

I have another card using Seaside Notions which I will share sometime this week.

Seaside Notions

This week I’m having fun with the Seaside Notions stamp set; it’s an 11 cling stamp set (149278) for only $23.

I stamped the shells and sand in sahara sand and then added a frame also in sahara sand. First I used the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder and then the rectangular stitched dies to cut out the centre. I layered this onto a merry merlot card base and carried the same colour to the sentiment (also from Seaside Notions) which I cut out with the stitched shapes framelit dies.

Bird Ballad Laser-Cut cards and tin

I’ve been playing with the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut cards and tin lately. Well with the card bases anyway. They are so beautiful and at $18 for 12 laser-cut cards, 12 envelopes plus a tin to keep them in, they are a steal (149595).

I’ve been playing with different ways of decorating these using mostly punches since I was designing for a class away from home. For this one, I used a piece of Merry Merlot cut to 5 3/8 by 4 1/8 inches. The multipurpose glue is best for attaching this to the inside of the laser cut part. Anything else is just too wide. I find it easier to carefully add a tiny amount of glue to the edge of the Merry Merlot and then attach it to the card base.

Next I stamped the sentiment from Seaside Notions in Merry Merlot and used the the Banner Triple Punch (138292) to make an easy banner. Then came the fun decoration! I used the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Washi Tape (149585) to make a 5 petal flower and added a Perennial Essence Floral Center (149442) in the centre. Mixing up a few suites but I love how it turned out!

Let me know what you think.
