The new Bottled Happiness Stamp Set, coordinating Vintage Bottle Punch, and Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes can make amazing greeting cards and projects! I’ve created three different cards with them recently and am excited to share this first one with you today.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this unique “message in a bottle” card with Oceanfront Stamp Set, the items listed above, and a few other coordinating products. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel or tune into my events on my Facebook Page so you can get updates when I share and go live).

WOW!! I LOVE this card idea!! I truly love anything ocean related! This is a super idea for a card and I can not wait to watch the video on this one. Thank You so much for sharing and for the printable sheet with all the directions and supplies needed to recreate.

Love this, what a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing Rachel
Glad you like this idea Shirley 🦋
Hi Rachel, I just finished watching the replay on your fantastic Message in a Bottle card. I, too, thought of this type of a card as soon as I saw the stamp set. The other one I want to make would be a Ship in a Bottle card. I must have some little ship stamps somewhere. Thanks for all the great tips too!

Oooo! A ship in a bottle card would be fun! Glad you enjoyed what I shared Sandy.
You are so creative!
Aww..thanks Lori!
