Hello and welcome, Today I'll be sharing with you my latest project for Stampin' Up! as part of the Artisan Design Team my group was asked to create projects using the Seas the Day Bundle. This bundle is in the Mini Jan - June 2022 Catalogue and is on page 38, which includes the Seas the Day Stamp Set and Sea Dies.
This bundle was so much fun to use, I love the under the sea creates in the stamp set especially the octopus. The stamp images have a watercolour look and the Sea Dies die-cut out the fish, jellyfish, starfish, crab and the octopus. There are also under the sea intricate die-cut pieces, plus a large peekaboo die which fits perfectly on a card front.

Slimline Under the Sea Card
My first project is a slimline card which has become a favourite of mine lately, I've used the seaweed image stamping it a number of times on the panel of Basic White Cardstock.
I've used the following colours Bermuda Bay being the darkest colour, then I also added Coastal Cabana and Pool Party Inks. I would also keep on stamping on the panel to get more variation of the colour and depth.
Giving the card more dimension I used Stampin' Dimensionals under the Calypso Coral octopus and crab, Pale Papaya starfish and Bermuda Bay for the fish.
I've used the seaweed die and die-cut out a number of times in Basic White Cardstock and lightly coloured in with the Blending Brush. and Coastal Cabana Ink. The coral is from the larger die, I've just snipped it off and added Bermuda Bay Ink with the Blending Brush.
To finish off the card I've stamped the sentiment in Bermuda Bay onto Basic White Cardstock, added a white Baker's Twine bow and Coastal Cabana Artistry Blooms Sequins.
Octopus Ocean Floor Dimensional card
Going with the same colour scheme for my second card this time I went for an ombre look using Calypso Coral and Pale Papaya for the background Shimmery White Cardstock panel.
I used the Foam Adhesive Strips in between the two layers for more depth. The Bermuda Bay Octopus is layered onto the Calypso Coral panel with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The next ombre layer is a combination of Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party Inks onto a panel of Shimmery White Cardstock with the Blending Brush and then die-cut out with the large die from the Sea Dies.
To create the ocean floor by using Shimmery White Embossing Paste with Bermuda Bay Ink then apply to the panel with the Palette Knife and add sequins while still wet. I used the Sparkle and Shine Sequins which is in the Mini Jan- June 2022 Catalogue, they are perfect for an under the sea scene.
I like to add interest and contrast with the colours by balancing them out and overlapping the stamped images and detailed die-cut pieces using the different tones of blue/greens against the oranges. To finish off the card I added the sentiment using Versamark Ink onto Bermuda Bay Cardstock, adding White Stampin Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. The Artistry Blooms Sequins are in Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral.
Jellyfish Gift Tag
Using monochromatic tones of Bermuda Bay, I started off with the die-cut piece using the largest die from the Tailor Made Tag Dies in Bermuda Bay Cardstock.
I stamped the seaweed stamp image onto the gift tag and layered by adding detailed dies and the stamped image of the jellyfish.
The sentiment is fussy cut out using the Paper Snips Scissors and I added a few of the Artistry Blooms Sequins and White Baker's Twine to the gift tag.
