Crabs Archives - Crafty-rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using products from the new January to April 2025 Mini Catalogue. I have chosen to make a card using the Ocean Friends stamp set.

Colours used in this card:

To recreate the trio of crab’s card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Lost Lagoon card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Lost Lagoon card – 2⅝” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Using one of the bubble images I stamped around the Smoky Slate card front using Smoky Slate ink, just to give some added texture.

In the centre of the smaller panel of Basic White card I stamped the outline crab image in Cajun Craze ink. I used the infill image to colour the crab using Calypso Coral ink.

The outline crab was stamped again in Granny Apple Green ink and coloured with Lemon Lime Twist ink. Finally, I stamped the outline again in Pretty Peacock with the infill stamped in Lost Lagoon ink.

I added scattering of both bubble images around the crabs using Smoky Slate ink. The stamped panel was glued to the Lost lagoon layer and the whole piece was added to the Smoky Slate card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the small strip of Lost Lagoon card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. The sentiment was then added to the card front.
