Friends are Like Seashells is the best yet Stampin’ Up has created for seashells! It is just beautiful! And, the Pearlescent Specialty Paper, Seaside Seashells Dies, and Seashells 3D embossing folder just “sing” together to make the most elegant, textural, beautiful seashells ever!

I plan to use Sand & Sea Suite for May clubs….so come join me either in person or Zoom for the month of May!

This month, I also used Seaside Seashells Dies with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder for scrapbooking to make a simple but beautiful spread to capture those special moments in your life.

start with 12 x 12 Basic White Card Stock and Brayer Crumb Cake for the sand and Seaside Spray ink for the water/sky
stamp starfish and sand dollars and sand sprinkles in the sand
Die cut and then emboss and color seashells with a blending brush or sponge dauber - then cut out individually
die cut lettering with Hand Lettered Prose Dies (Retired) or your choice in Misty Moonlight card stock

Our 2nd scrapbook spread this month used the fun fun Sweet Ice Cream Bundle. This is a perfect punch bundle page 49 in the January to June Mini catalog. The punch works so well with the stamp set and the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper is a sure pleaser to make you want to go to get some ice cream right now! Like yum yum!!!

Woven DSP is made by cutting strips of 1/2” x 12” and laying several out vertically. Then take the remaining strips and weave over and under the vertical strips of DSP
DSP is matted in Blackberry Bliss card stock. the DSP really pops using this color
Sprinkles are put on to top ice cream scoop by applying Shimmery Crystal Effects and then dropping the sprinkles on. Lay aside to dry awhile.
Sentiments are from Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and Valentine Keepsakes stamp set in January to June Mini Catalog
Colors for ice cream scoops are: Flirty Flamingo ink on Brushing Bride CS, Granny Apple Green ink on Soft Seafoam CS, Terracotta Tile ink on Bumblebee CS, Bermuda Bay ink on Pool Party CS, and Blackberry Bliss ink on Purple Posy CS
