Directions:

 Place the largest die from the Seaside Shells dies with the cutting side down into the Stamparatus.  Place the coordinating stamps stamping side down into the corresponding openings in the die. 

Close the Stamparatus plate and “pick up” the stamps.  Use Sahara Sand ink to stamp the images onto one of the 4” x 5 ¼” pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Cut out the images using the large die.  Fussy cut around the shells.  (If you don’t have a Stamparatus you can just stamp the images onto the Very Vanilla cardstock and fussy cut them out).  Place the cut images into the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder, lining them up with their corresponding shapes (I used a tiny bit of adhesive to secure them in place to keep them from slipping.  Run the 3D Embossing Folder through the Stampin’, Cut and Emboss Machine.  You will now have embossed stamped seashells!  With the fold of the card base on the left hand side, adhere the Pattern One piece of DSP to the card front.  Tear the Pattern Two piece of DSP to create a ragged edge (tear towards you to avoid have any white show).  Adhere this piece at the bottom of the DSP on the card front (see picture for placement).  Adhere all but one of the seashells to the card front.  Use Early Espresso Ink to stamp the sentiment.  Apply Opal Rounds to the card front for some sparkle.  For the inside of the card, use the remaining half of the Pattern Two DSP, tearing the same as you did for the card front.  Adhere this to the remaining 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Adhere the remaining seashell on the left side of this piece and then use Early Espresso ink to stamp the sentiment.  Adhere this piece to the inside of the card.  Send to one of your Unique and Amazing friends!!!!
