Shell Card – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on December 27, 2025January 6, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing a card made using the Shell Collection stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the shell card, you will need:

Petunia Pop card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at on the long side at 4⅛”
Timid Tiger card – 5¼” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Secret Sea card – 1⅞” by ⅜”
Scrap Basic White card

Using a Blending Brush I added a swirl of Timid Tiger ink to the 5⅛” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card. Using the scoring blade on the Paper Trimmer I scored lines at ¼” and ⅜” along the top and left-hand border of the same panel.

The scored and inked panel was then adhered to the Timid Tiger layer and then to the Petunia Pop card base.

On scrap Basic white card, I stamped the large shell with Petunia Pop ink, one of the medium shells with Timid Tiger ink and the round shell with Coastal Cabana ink. I fussy cut out all the shells and added them to the card front with glue or Dimensionals.

The sentiment, for the Fragrant Layers stamp set was stamped on the piece of Secret Sea card with Versamark ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool before being added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine I cut a rectangle from the smaller panel of dsp. The rectangle was glued to the card front. The sentiment from the Cactus Cuties stamp set was stamped on the rectangle in Cinnamon Cider ink.
