The entire Sand & Sea Suite of products includes amazing coordination. Choose the Bundle (stamp set + dies), the designer paper, the embossing folder and/or the accessories to make one-of-a-kind cards. You’ll find this suite on page 40-41 of the Mini Catalog.
The highlight of this suite is the alignment of the stamps, embossing folders and dies. You can do it all from simply stamping and die cutting, embossing and die cutting or all the above. The possibilities – and the texture – are endless!

What are the “laying dimensions” on the shell and flamingo step panel cards? On the Flamingo card it has a darker green that sets off the flamingo die, and also the back where you can stamp some greens and sign the card. (I’m dimensionally challenged as far as measuring. lol)
Love your Tutorials, Lisa! You explain everything so thoroughly and are a joy to watch, and I’m enjoying all your tips.
