Hi there! It's Andrea back to share a shaker card featuring the new You Octopi My Thoughts stamp set. I love the ocean theme of the April release! Is anyone else itching to head to the beach now?!
I started by stamping the octopus from You Octopi My Thoughts with Black Hybrid Ink. I colored him with Copics, added some white details with a gel pen, and cut him out with the coordinating dies.
The foliage is from the Layering Flora: Leaves and Twigs Dies. I diecut a few shapes from white cardstock and then placed the diecuts onto the 4"x4" Paper Inking Palette. Using the Rainbow Pint-Sized Paper Pouncers, I "colored" the diecuts with distress inks.
I wanted to make a porthole style shaker, so I diecut the 3.0" Connected Circles Shaker Dies five times from white cardstock and once from metallic paper. I layered the white diecuts together and backed the silver one with acetate before gluing it on top of the white diecuts. I glued the octopus and foliage to one of the Beachcombing Fabulous Glossy A2 Card Fronts, added some Iridescent Moonshine sequins, and sealed them in place with the stacked diecuts. I trimmed around the shaker to remove the excess from the patterned paper and foliage.
I stamped a sentiment from You Octopi My Thoughts in black onto an A2 card. I attached my shaker with double-sided adhesive and glued silver pearls to the silver frame to complete the porthole.

Hello there! It's Andrea back with you sharing some new products from the April release.
I love seahorses, so I couldn't pass up the new Seahorses of the Sea stamp set. I also used the sea grass images from You Octopi My Thoughts. I stamped everything with Black Hybrid ink and colored them with Copics. I added white highlights and cut out the images with the coordinating dies from each set.
The new Magical Seas Fabulously Glossy A2 Card Fronts have beautiful, nighttime, sea scenes that make creating cards super quick and easy. I chose one from the pack and adhered it to a white card. I created a frame from white cardstock with the Basic Die Cutting Die Set 1.
I backed the white frame with clear acetate and a layer of foam tape. After placing a bunch of sequins from the new Island Blues sequin mix onto my background, I sealed them in place with the frame.
The sentiment is from the You Octopi My Thoughts set. I stamped it in Black Hybrid Ink and diecut it with the coordinating dies. After attaching my colored images to the acetate, I popped up the sentiment with thin 3D foam squares.
