Today I’m sharing the last card we made at our February Candy Hearts team meeting using the Approaching Perfection stamp set. It’s a birthday card, and we also used the Stitched to Sweetly Dies, Special Day Dies, and products from the Sand & Sea Suite Collection. The seashell on the front is attached via a spring mechanism we made with wire. We used the Special Day Dies because the heart from that set fit perfectly behind the seashell sticker, but you could use a circle or any other shape that will fit.

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Melon Mambo card stock (CS) cut to 4 x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″ (I intended to make it the standard 4-1/4″ wide, but I didn’t discover my mistake until a lot of the card was done, so I went with it.)

Stamped with the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set:

Cut using the Snow Globe Scenes Dies:

Assembled the card:
