Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using something that is about to retire from the 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue which retires at the end of this month. I have chosen to share a project using the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set, one of my favourites and I am so sad to see it go. I have also used 3 of the colours which are also retiring, So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the seashells one sheet wonder cards, you will need:
Basic White card – 11¾” by 4⅛”
Co-ordinating card bases x 4 – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Co-ordinating layers cut to 5⅝” by 3⅞” or 5½” by 3¾” or 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I began by stamping the largest image in So Saffron ink and added the second largest in Blushing Bride ink.

I added the sea weed in Pear Pizzazz ink and then filled in the blank spaces using the spotty stamp and Pool Party ink.

The completed sheet was then cut into 4 panels, each measuring 5⅞” by 4⅛”. I looked at each panel in turn, deciding whether they would be made into portrait or landscape cards.

I stamped a sentiment on each panel in Basic Gray ink before cutting each panel down to either 5½” by 3¾” or 5¼” by 3½”. These were then glued to the co-ordinating panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
