Friendly Seagulls - Birthday Card

 

   

This is a card I made using the new 2025 Sale-a-bration stamp set called "Friendly Seagulls" that is free with a $60 order.  I also used "Day to Celebrate" another SAB card that is free with a $60 order.  The Birthday Celebration stamp set is from the 2025 January 7 through May 5 Mini Catalog.  You can purchase and earn FREE Sale-a-bration sets starting January 7th.

Stamp Sets:  Friendly Seagulls, Birthday Celebration and Day to Celebrate

Cardstock:  Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Basic White

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake

Blends:  Peach Pie, Gray Granite, Basic Black

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Beach Days Dies, Paper Snips, Stylish Shapes Dies, Flat Daubers, Adhesive Backed Pearls, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals

 

1.     The base of the card is Balmy Blue cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    Ink up the birds stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento and stamp up in the sky twice.

3.    The second layer is Balmy Blue cardstock and inserted into the Soft Waves Embossing 3D Folder.  Cut the Soft Waves with the Paper Snips and use a Dauber to ink up the top edge of the waves.  Attach to the bottom base of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Also, Crumb Cake cardstock is for the sand which is die-cut with the Beach Days Dies.  Use a Dauber in Crumb Cake on the top edge of the sand.  Ink up the seashells stamps with Crumb Cake and randomly stamp all over the sand cardstock.

4.    Ink up the seagulls with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and stamp on Basic White cardstock.  Color the seagulls with the Stampin’ Blends.  With the Paper Snips, fussy cut the seagulls and attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals onto the sand.

5.    Die-cut a banner for “I Love you MORE than” and die-cut it again to make it smaller than the die.

6.    Add three Adhesive Backed Pearls

7.    For the inside use the stamp “cake” from the "Birthday Celebrate" stamp set and “Happy Birthday” from the "Day To Celebrate" stamp set using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Reindeer Days Memories & More Card Pack - Fun-Fold Easel Card

This is a card I made using the Reindeer Days Memories & More Card Pack.  I am in a card club with Selene Kempton and this one of the cards that we made in the group using this card pack.  It makes it very simple to make cards and not much stamping involved.  A larger peppermint adhesive holds it in place for the easel party of the card plus all the ones we put on the tree.  The "Merry Merry" is from the stickers in the pack and I just popped it up with Mini Dimensionals.
