Today’s card is another one from my February Stamp Club gathering on Monday. The Seaside Seashells Dies, Seashells 3D Embossing Folder, and Pearlescent Specialty Paper are the real stars of this card. Just look at the texture on the pearlescent shells. Isn’t it beautiful? I also used the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set and Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper from the same Sand & Sea Suite Collection.

Today’s card is one we made at my February Stamp Club gathering. We made cards featuring products from the Sand & Sea Suite Collection: Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle (Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set & Seaside Seashells Dies – say that three times fast!) and Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper. I’m calling this a pieced card, but I guess it’s more of a rearranged card. The large die I used cuts out the shells and kelp all attached in one piece. I cut them apart and arranged them as you see them below.

Feb 17, 2021 | Baby, Blog Hop, Cards, Gallery |
Welcome to February 2021 IRBH! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature balloons, so you are in for a celebratory treat. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post, Brian King at Stamp with Brian. There’s a lot of inspiration to be found in this group and you don’t want to miss it!
My card is very simple. It’s a card base with some punched and die cut shapes and a small sentiment. The balloons are made with the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch – the scoop of ice cream flipped upside down looks like a bear or mouse, and I thought it would make adorable balloons. I used several soft colors of card stock for this baby card. You can buy each color separately of course, but most of the colors come in a multi-pack. I’ve listed them all at the bottom of this post.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
Stamped with the So Sentimental stamp set:
- sentiment in Highland Heather ink onto a scrap of Basic White Thick CS
Cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies:
Cut using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch:
- scoops from scraps of Petal Pink, So Saffron, Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue, and Purple Posy CS
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- white twine adhered onto the back of the upside-down-scoop-balloons using Tear & Tape
- 2 of the balloons glued onto the front of the card base, near the top
- a couple of mini Stampin’ Dimensionals applied onto the front of the card base, where the sentiment will go, with a tiny gap between them about 1/8″ wide
- strings of the balloons strung between the mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, and held in place with a piece of Post-It Tape (or you could use a Post-It Note) I left the backings on the dimensionals for this part.
- 2 more balloons adhered beneath the first ones using Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the strings added to the first ones
- the fifth balloon adhered using Stampin’ Dimensionals in the center, and glue along the top where it overlaps the 2 balloons above it, then the string added to the others
- 2 Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals applied onto the back of the sentiment, one at each end, making sure there is space between them for the strings and two dimensionals on the card front
- backs of all four dimensionals removed and sentiment adhered over the strings
- ends of the strings trimmed using Paper Snips (I keep a separate pair just for ribbon.)
