Nothing’s Better Than Chocolate Seashell | Casually Crafting
Hello and welcome to Mitosu Crafts UK. Thanks for stopping by. It’s Jay here, with the Casually Crafting blog hop sharing an all occasions card. I am sharing a chocolate seashell card idea. Using Nothing’s Better Than with Friends Are Like Seashells coloured in Stampin’ Blends markers.
The Casually Crafting Design Team are a group of independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators that enjoy sharing projects ideal for casual crafters. It’s a STEP UP from simple stamping, quick and easy projects for beginners. We hop every 3rd Saturday of the month and the theme for December is a Tic Tac Toe Challenge.
I opted for the top left to bottom right diagonal line; White, Vellum & Gold. Looking at these elements, I immediately thought of a CAS (Clean And Simple) card. It’s ideal for Christmas cards but I wanted the extra challenge! I ended up using a previously coloured seashell and finally created a chocolate card idea I’ve had. Can you guess which brand inspired my card?

How To Create A Chocolate Seashell Guylian Card
- Fold card base in half and burnish with Bone Folder.
- Add a small dot of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on each corner of the Vellum and at the centre, then adhere Layer 1 on the card front.
- Stamp the sentiment in Cinnamon Cider ink on Layer 2 Basic White card.
- Adhere the Brushed Metallic strip just above the stamped sentiment, then add both pieces on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the shell in Soft Suede ink on another piece of Basic White card. Colour the image using the following Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers: Bronze / Ivory, Cinnamon Cider and Color Lifter.
- Fussy cut the shell using Paper Snips then adhere flat on the topper.
- Heat emboss the sentiment on Basic White card using Versamark ink, Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (from Metallics Embossing Powder Set) and a Heat Tool.
- Fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips again then adhere using Mini Glue Dots.
- Finish the card with Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots.
