Seashells One Sheet Wonder Cards for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on April 15, 2023April 1, 2023 by Mo Rootes

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.

Shells stamped in Balmy Blue ink and Petal Pink ink. The little starfishes were added in Fresh Freesia 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.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The retiring Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set used to make a one sheet wonder for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

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.

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies we cut a circle in the centre panel one of the Thick Basic White card pieces, slightly nearer the top and centred from side to side between the 1” scorelines.

The large circle from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set was inked up, ½ with Granny Apple Green and the other half with Fresh Freesia buy pressing the inkpad directly to the stamp. We stamped it over the pencil circle which was then erased. The sentiment was then stamped onto the circle.

The scorelines were folded and burnished, the 1” scoreline inwards and the ½” scoreline outwards. A strip of Tear ‘n Tape applied to the outer two sections of the back panel. The front was then adhered to the back, one side at a time.

The circle image was inked up in the same way as for the previous card using the same Granny Apple Green and Fresh Freesia inks and stamped towards to top of the smaller Basic White panels.

The leafy sprig was stamped twice, once facing upwards and once facing downwards in Granny Apple Green ink. The flowers were added in Gorgeous Grape ink with centres of Daffodil Delight ink. The stamped panel was then added, off set, to the Granny Apple Green panel with liquid glue.

We stamped the smaller flower in Fresh Freesia ink in the upper left and lower right corners of the Fresh Freesia card front and added the decorated panel overtop on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the one happy family was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink onto the strip of Fresh Freesia and added it, trimming the ends, across the card front.

I mounted the sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set onto the plate of the Stamparatus, inked it up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped down on the 2½” by 2½” piece of Fluid 100 card. I repeated this step to get a nice dark image. This was then die-cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The double flower image was the mounted onto the Stamparatus Plate, inked up with StaZon Jet Black ink and stamped onto the panel of Fluid 100 card. I repeated the step then moved the image and stamped again onto the same panel.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A lovely water-coloured card made for the Technique Tuesday blog Hop using the Framed Florets stamp set

When the StaZon ink was dry I began to watercolour the images, beginning with the leaves. I used my Water Painters to add a little water to the leaves, this helps the ink to flow on the card. I added a drop of Granny Apple Green re-inker to the lid of the Granny Apple Green inkpad, loosen the ink with a little water and painted in the leaves.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A lovely water-coloured card made for the Technique Tuesday blog Hop using the Framed Florets stamp set

The flowers were painted in the same way with Daffodil Delight ink and a little Sweet Sorbet ink in the centre, allowing it to bleed out a little. I left the piece to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A lovely water-coloured card made for the Technique Tuesday blog Hop using the Framed Florets stamp set

When the ink was dry I added Soft Sea Foam around the stamped and coloured images, using water to blur the ink giving a faded look. When the panel was completely dry I glued it to the Sweet Sorbet layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. A length of Sweet Sorbet and white Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and the whole piece then added to the Soft Sea Foam card front using the same liquid glue.

I stamped the outline cluster of flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink onto the scarp Basic White card and added the sold image overtop in Polished Pink ink. These were then die-cut using the same set of dies. Using a sponge dauber, I added Coastal Cabana ink along the bottom wedge to the die-cut flowers to disguise the white border and help them blend into the pot. I adhered the flowers and pot together using Dimensionals and then mounted it onto the card front.
