Summer Love Letters

 Hello!  (Chris here)

One of the most iconic things about the beach are the seashells.  There is just something about them that fills our hearts with wonder.  We all bring them home and put them in a special place.  Every time we see them the sea calls us.  They tie our hearts to a happier place.  They are love letters in the sand. 

To create my background I started wtih kraft cardstock.  I sponged two different shades of brown ink onto the kraft.  I tried to make it uneven.  I was trying to create a sandy look.   I then splattered the background with both shades of brown and then white pigment ink to add some contrast.   Then I set this aside to dry.  I used Seashell Dies to cut the shells out a variety of specialized paper.  They all have a pearl or glitter finish to them. I sponged on a touch of brown ink (just whatever was left on the brush from creating the background).   I arranged the shells and stamped the sentiment.  I hope you love this card.   I wish the camera could capture the shine.   You will just have to trust me. :)

Seashells have Stories


 Good day to all!
Pam here sharing my creation with the Shell and turtle Frame and it was paired with a new sentiment from Seashell Sentiments, set of 4.
Sometimes I like to use designer paper and stamp similar images onto it. I did that here and then stamped the images again, cut them out and paper pieced them onto the page. 
Seashells are the best! Check all the fabulous stamps out here

The Shells of the Beach


Good Wednesday to everyone! I am so enjoying the new stamps here this month! For this card, I used Sand, Seashells & flip-flops, set of 9. Check all of them out below.

I did a fun fold card for today as I am trying to get out of my comfort zone. I used a combination of designer papers, stamped some shells and colored them and then fussy cut them out. I used a couple of die cuts to showcase the fabulous sentiment and below is a pic of the inside of the creation. 

It is a great release. You don't want to miss out as all the new releases are 15% off through the 8th. On everything else, use my code TJ10Pam.
