Mermaid Kisses & Oceans of Joy Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some sea-themed cards for summer using our Mermaid Kisses Stamps and Oceans of Joy Stamps.

For my first card using the Mermaid Kisses Stamps, I paired the mermaids with the dolphin and the octopus from our Oceans of Joy Stamps, the palm trees from our Sending Sunshine Stamps and Ocean View Stamps, and the island from our Tropical Scenes Stamps. To create the waves to tuck my critters between, I cut four layers using our Catch A Waves Dies. I added the sunrays behind my island, using a soft lilac print from our Spring Sunburst Paper pack, and stamped my punny birthday greeting using a sentiment from the Mermaid Kisses set.

For my second card, I started with a sparkly background I originally created for the posts shared HERE and HERE. This was my first attempt where I had some of the glitter gel seep below the stencil I had made with our Frilly Frames Lattice Dies. However, always the saver, I hated to throw it away, so I held onto it for six years "just in case." Well, I finally put it to good use, hiding most of my boo-boos behind the giant whale (and turtle) from our Oceans of Joy Stamps. It adds such a pretty sparkle to the scene in person! I added coral and kelp to my sea floor using images from our Best Fishes Stamps, Magical Mermaids Stamps, and the Mermaid Kisses Stamps. Lastly, I added the mermaid and sentiment from the Mermaid Kisses, stamping it onto a pennant strip from the Notebook Photo Corner Dies.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today. 😊
