I used the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set and some of the pretty Sand & Sea DSP to create a quick beach themed birthday card to share with you today.

My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #468.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set on the bottom of a panel of Sand & Sea DSP in Soft Suede ink and then adhered the panel to the front of a Sahara Sand card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of the Pearlescent Specialty Paper with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies, trimmed a bit from one side and then I stamped the sand dollar image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand and Flirty Flamingo inks across the panel.  I let the panel dry completely and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.  I wrapped a strand on Linen Thread around the card front twice and tied a bow.

I cut a panel of Sand & Sea DSP with one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and I adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.  I added three Opal Rounds to finish the card front.

I stamped the sand dollar image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand and Flirty Flamingo inks on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
