Ocean Friends

With the release of the January - April 2025 Mini Catalog, I'm sharing some of my favorite new products, today being Ocean Friends.  Anyone who knows me knows I love beach-themed stamps and dies (having grown up on the Great South Bay on Long Island, NY) so of course this set HAD to make it into my stash!


 Friends of the Ocean is a suite of products, including the Ocean Friends stamps and dies, along with the Soft Waves embossing folder and some great Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper.  What caught my eye, besides the ocean-theme, was the fabulous colors!  Right up my alley!  Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Summer Splash and Berry Burst!

For my first card, (and one I used for a swap) I ignored the DSP (even though I LOVE it!) and focused instead on the things I could make with the dies.  The crab, the sea grass (or coral?) and those little starfish/flowers are all part of the die set.  

I first stamped the crab - two step stamping in Peach Pie and Pumpkin Pie, then cut out all the pieces.  And I decided to add a few of my older favorites - Seaside Wishes sand dollar and starfish dies were just the ticket!


For my background I used the Soft Waves embossing folder - such dimension!  

And here is a pic of all the cards I made for my swap:


I am sure to have lots of fun with this suite!  

The January - April 2025 Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration brochure is live now!  Time to shop!
