I love the Seaside Bay stamps and dies. I actually love the Suite- By The Bay. Everything is carrying over from it, except the amazing DSP/paper. Paper almost always retires with SU, but I had hoped they would let this one continue. They didn’t. ☹️

So, I wanted to make many cards as I could with the paper.

The shells were all cut from retiring paper: Brushed Metallic and Pearlescent. The “grass” parts were cut with the DSP.

I die cut the “sand” layers with a die from Seaside Bay. I used Crumb Cake. I stamped the dots, part of the Seaside Bay stamp set, with Crumb Cake. I also used my Blending Brush with Crumb Cake to make the edges darker.

Inside the oyster is 3 pearls. I Googled how many you can find in oysters and 3 is possible!

The sentiment on this card is from the Go to Greetings. I die cut with the Stylish Shapes dies.

Ok, here’s two more cards using the same die cut shells, just with a different background paper and sentiments.

Both sentiments are from the Seaside Bay stamp set. I used Coastal Cabana for the thank you one.

Here’s everything I used for these cards. Get that paper while you can!

I made this card pretty simple- it would work for a man!

The paper behind the drums and guitars is from the Ready to Ride DSP. That paper is so good for manly cards! It’s retiring 😟.

The background cardstock (Smoky Slate) was embossed with the Merry Melody embossing folder.

The “Happy Birthday” and “You Rock” are both from the Enjoy the Rhythm stamp set (which is where the guitars and drums are from). The “You Rock” is actually from a stamp that says “you rock my world”. I wanted just the “you rock”, so I used my black Write Marker to color. I die cut both sentiments with the Stylish Shapes. I cut the left and right side off so the stitching only shows on top and bottom.

Here’s everything I used:
