Hello! Today I’m using some of the new stamp sets from the Under the Seashore release from Maker Forte. I have 2 seashore cards to share!

Card 1: Mermaid with the Blues

This card features the Ocean Borders stamp set, which has a beautiful seashell border, some great sentiments and this amazing mermaid stamp:

I stamped this with multiple colors of ink, first stamping the top section with Blueberry Cheesecake ink. Then, I inked on the next section with Icy Mist ink and I dabbed off some ink where the two inks would meet so I wouldn’t get a harsh line. I stamped that layer of the stamp.

Next, I inked on Blue Raspberry and finally Vegas Strip inks. (always using my microfiber cloth to dab off between the colors)

That sentiment is so true: I need Vitamin SEA!

I matted this with multiple layers: using Aged Antique vellum for one layer, and Eclipse Black cardstock for the next layer. The final layer of white is the 110# white cardstock card base.

Card 2: True North

This next card features the True North stamp set. I love all these images and the overall vibe they give. There are many shells and this really awesome octopus. I couldn’t resist stamping that octopus in multiple colors for the background!

The ink colors I used for the Octopus are: Vegas Strip, Blueberry Cheesecake, Flat White, Blue Raspberry and Icy Mist! Are you noticing a trend in my color choices for these cards?!

I stamped the anchor image in between each of the octopus with Fog ink. I used some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock to mat the entire panel and added a few gems to finish it all off.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

I hope you loved these ocean cards like I do! Thanks for stopping by today!
