If you’re looking to create a card that is both playful and full of personality, the Friendly Seagulls Sale-a-Bration stamp set is exactly what you need! This adorable set features seagulls in all kinds of fun, quirky poses—perfect for sending a lighthearted “Hey, Friend!” to someone special. Let’s break down how this fun card came together, and how you can create your own version for all your favorite people.
This card is all about the adorable seagulls from the Friendly Seagulls stamp set! I stamped and colored the seagulls with a soft color palette, adding some fun touches like the seagull eating french fries. The combination of the birds and the playful sentiment “Hey, Friend” makes this card perfect for sending to someone who could use a little humor and cheer.
The background of the card features a piece of the Country Woods DSP, which has a beautiful weathered wood look in shades of blue. This paper gives the card a casual, beachy feel that perfectly complements the fun seagull theme. A simple, coordinating brown cardstock strip anchors the design, and the seagulls are placed on a square die-cut panel to bring them to the forefront.
A Linen Thread bow adds a touch of texture, and the final embellishment—a couple of white enamel dots—adds just the right amount of shine and dimension.
When using patterned paper like the Country Woods DSP, let it be the focal point of the design by pairing it with simple, stamped elements. Keep the rest of the design clean and minimal to allow the background to shine. You can always add a small accent, like a twine bow or enamel dots, to add dimension without overwhelming the design.
