Friendly Seagulls Super Easy Birthday Card

 Hello, Happy January 22, 2025.  I am not sure where you are, but we are in a deep freeze right now, and to think of seagulls on a beach squawking away, seems heavenly at the moment!  I hope you guys are all staying warm and healthy.

This card is super easy and features a FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set called Friendly Seagulls.  These seagulls are so darn cute!!  Which colour do you prefer?

I used the hexagon from the Wildflower Designs dies, I used two different embossing folders, the one on the Boho Blue card is the So Swirly where the one on the Pool Party card is the Soft Waves 3D folder.  The pier is made from the Country Woods Designer Series paper and the gulls are coloured using blends (Peach Pie, Basic Black, and Gray Granite).  I did a little bit of stamping (the fishes) and some blending and that was about it.

I needed a birthday card, so I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Sale-A-Bration set A Day To Celebrate and then coloured the fries with Wild Wheat blends and the container with Poppy Parade.  A simple, yet adorable card for a person of any age!!!

Want to make this card along with me, join me over on YouTube and please make sure you say hi

Have an amazing week

Hidden Door Fun Fold Card - Wildflower Birthday

 Happy January 15th 2025.  I cannot believe it is the middle of January already.  The days are getting longer, we have daylight past 5 pm..so excited for spring to arrive!!

Jay Sorento of Mitosu crafts did this pretty amazing fun fold.  You can go to his card here..  We also did his fun-fold in our team meeting this week and I had so much fun with it, that I decided to share it with you. 

I used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to recreate this beautiful card.  What do you think?

You open up the front flap and have a cute little message

Then there is a hidden door, where you get to put another message!

The card can stand up too to for display!

Heart Shaped meets Hearts of Elegance

 Happy New Year! My first post of 2025.  I hope you all had a healthy, relaxing holiday season.  Today I played with some on-line exclusive products that coordinated beautifully with sale-a-bration items.  Which do you prefer? The melon mambo or the real red version?

I used products from the Marbled Elegance suite from the On-line exclusives including the stunning Marbled Elegance specialty designer series paper and the Hearts of Elegance bundle together with Sale-A -bration bundle Heart Shaped.  I love how these products coordinate and are perfect for valentines day, anniversaries or just to let someone know you love them.

If you would like to see how I made this card, bloopers and all, please watch my video

See you next week!
