Hello Stampers,
Today I am sharing basic tips for the Sea and Sand Suite. Stamp Set Friends Are Like Seashells, Seaside Seashells Dies, and Seashells 3D Embossing Folder. We never had 3 coordinated products like this in the past. I say it is the BOMB. I so love this suit so I am warning you that you will see many more posts with this suite.
Okay Now try to say these 3 products 3 times in a row. OH! That is a mouth full.
I have a great tip video below or you can view it on my YouTube channel.
Tip to align stamp, die, and embossing folder
I explain it all in the video and also you can see the graphic above. After you watch the video you will see how quick it is to align all from stamp image to die to emboss folder. As mention above we never had 3 products coordinated like this before. It is amazing plus it is beautiful.
Stamp, Die-Cut and Emboss
Both of the cards I stamp and die cut. Only the one on the left that I embossed. Here how to do all 3.
- On a 4 x 5¼ or 4¼ x 5½ align your stamp on the Stamparatus and stamp. (Left card, is only one color Crumb Cake. Right card ink with Pool Party sponge lightly Crumb Cake and Calypso Coral)
- Alight the stamped cardstock with the ONE die and die-cut.
- To emboss alight the die-cut cardstock in the embossing folder and emboss.
These all alight nicely and simple. The main focus needs to align your stamp first on the Stamparatus using the die to align them and all will align perfectly. I strongly recommend watching the video to see how it is all done.
Close up view of the 3D embossing folder. This is such a nice deep and detail embossed image.
The back layer is the Sand & Sea, Designer Paper.
The little embellishment they are the Opal Round. These opals have the speckle of colors that look like my opal ring so pretty.
This one is NOT embossed but I use 3 color ink to give some depth on the shells.
Simple with white and vanilla
The one on the left I emboss then assemble on the card front. The one on the right I die-cut, emboss then assemble. All are simple and quick.
Adding Ink
These ones I stamped with Crumb Cake ink. The top is embossed below not emboss.
Basic Tip Video
Most of the cards are all the same measurement.
- Card Base 11 x 4¼ score at 5½
- Designer paper (optional) 5¼ x 4
- Top layer 5¼ x 4 that is if you emboss or die-cut I used the same size
I did many more cards with this suite. I am sure you see many more cards in the video. I will have more posts in the coming weeks to share the other ones.
