Again I have created two projects with today’s set – Flourished Sea Creatures.
Shaker cards are so much fun. I found some Shaker Card Pouches at StampFest Orlando back in May, so it’s much easier to make this type of card than when I first learned how to do it. I stamped just the sea grass and a couple of fish for the background of the shaker section. The scene on the outside is a little busier, with the Spellbinders sea horse die cut, the Mudd Puddles sea floor, and the dew drop bubbles.
My second project is an acetate box, which I made using the tutorial in the resources section of Splitcoaststampers. I used cardstock from one of the Premium Paper Craft Packs called I’ve Got the Blues . . . and Greens – and some watery DP I had in my stash. Inside the box is, appropriately enough, salt water taffy!
These kissing fish were my grandmother’s.

Fabulous Lois!! Shaker cards are so fun and just perfect for this stamp set! I love the sand (I need to check into that stuff!) The box is brilliant and what a wonderful gift to give someone!

Lois,
I love how you pulled the colors from your Grandma's kissing fish(they are too cute!). Shaker cards are so neat, I will have to try one. The acetate box would make such a great gift.
These are so cool! I love the shaker card~
Ohhh cool shaker card! love this idea!
What can I say! These are great projects using the sea set! The S&P's match so well with the theme. How many do you have? Is there one that matches each stamp set?
What a cute shaker card! Love that part of the first card.
Both card and project are beautiful!
