Seabed Or Something Much More?

June 23, 2020 Leave a Comment

When your house overlooks the bay that has the highest tides in the world, you can’t help gravitating to sea related images. Whether it’s the beach, sailing or sealife, I always have to stop and take a second look. So it was with the new Whale Of A Time Suite in the Stampin’ Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. From the fun stamp set, to the cute punch, to the bright and colourful Designer Series Paper (DSP), it definitely called to me. What I wasn’t sure about was the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder. But I bought it anyway and I’m so glad I did. This was my first project using it and I love it!

This card with "My love for you is bigger than the ocean" sentiment and textured background layer was created using the Whale Done Stamp Set and Seabed 3D Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

SEABED ALL THE WAY

From the start I decided that this card project was going to be all about the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder. But first I used my Paper Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Thick Very Vanilla Card. I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder to create my card base.

Then I cut a piece of Soft Sea Foam Card to completely cover the front of my card base. I placed it into the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my machine. Then using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) I attached the embossed piece to the front of the card base.

Next I took 3/4″ strip of Soft Sea Foam Card and embossed that. With more liquid glue I attached the strip to the bottom of a layer of Very Vanilla Card. Then I fixed the assembled layers inside the card base.

But I wasn’t finished with the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder just yet.

I placed the flap of a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope inside the folder and embossed that too!

WHALE DONE

For my sentiment I couldn’t help but turn to the Whale Done Stamp Set. I didn’t want an obvious ‘fishy’ theme so I chose the “My love for you is bigger than the ocean sentiment”.

I stamped the sentiment onto Thick Very Vanilla Card using Shaded Spruce ink. Then I cut it out using one of the plainer dies from the Ornate Frames Dies.

Next I cut some 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and folded it into a loose loop. Using a little Tear & Tape Adhesive I fixed the loop to the back of my die-cut sentiment. Then I finished off by attaching the sentiment and trim to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I couldn’t be happier with how this project turned out. I know that the embossing folder is called Seabed, but I think it would work for non sea-themed projects too. In fact I might just give that a try.

If you missed my first project using the Whale Done Stamp Set, you’ll find it in my blog post Whale have a happy Saturday.

PRODUCT LIST

BUNDLE BONUS – I bought the Whale Done Stamp Set in a bundle with the Whale Punch (not used today). Using the ‘bundle’ item number meant I saved 10% off the cost of buying the same two items separately. I’ve included a link to the bundle in case you want to look at this option.

FREE BUNDLE ANYONE? – The Whale Done Bundle is just one of the choices for a free stamp set and tool bundle for anyone who joins Stampin’ Up! in June. This is in addition to the usual Starter Kit offer. I’d love to welcome you as a member of my Crafty Canadians team so check my Join Stampin’ Up! page for more details, or contact me for a chat.
