Friendly Seagulls Hey Friend Card

 Have you ever been to the beach? I live in Texas but a long way from the beach, however, I have been and I love those seagulls. They fly right up to you and will follow you for a treat. Sometimes, they will even steal food right out of your hand! Today's card features the Friendly Seagulls stamp set which is one of the FREE items you can earn during Sale-a-bration. How do you earn it? That's easy-place a minimum $60 order in my Online Store and choose Friendly Seagulls as your reward!

My inspiration for this card came from fellow demonstrator Melissa Faust.  What I like about this card is you get to emboss with two different embossing folders, tear your cardstock and layer it, stamp, color and fussy cut the seagulls and assemble all the layers. Whew! But how cute is the finished project.

I love the color combo, it reminds me of the beach. Coastal Cabana and Pool Party with some Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie with a touch of Real Red is so pretty. I used three different sizes of the Countryside Corners dies, they layer so nicely. I used the largest one for the inside layer instead of a rectangle of Basic White. 

Want to see how I made this card? Here's the Video over on You Tube

Cutting Instructions:

Card Base is cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Basic White layer is cut 4" x 5 1/4" and embossed

You can figure out what you need to die cut the rest of the layers

Stay tuned for more cuteness!

Thanks for stoppin by and

Fun Fold Valentine Card

Exciting News: There are new Sale-a-bration reward items effective today. Check them out HERE!!

Today's card is a fun fold card that offers a useful template for any combo of Stampin' Up!'s® pretty papers. This card is definitely a Valentine's card and the beautiful paper is called Marbled Elegance Specialty paper. Those pretty heart shaped gold embellishments are currently not available but keep your eye on them and be ready to add to your cart when they do come back. 

Cutting Instructions:

Card Base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4"

Fold in half then fold right edge back on front

DSP: Cut a piece 4" x 5 1/4", from that piece cut the right edge at 1 1/4", cut another piece for the front fold 1" x 5 1/4"

This is what the front looks like with the flap opened. When you adhere the label only put your adhesive on the flap for sure and not the right edge. It's optional if you want to stick the front fold down but I didn't. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you enjoy making this card, let me know if you make one!

Heart Shaped Bundle Valentine Card

Happy February!! I don't know about you but January flew by, didn't it? Let's take the time to enjoy the days. It was a beautiful sunny day here where I live. We call it 'fake spring.' February sometimes gives us cold and snowy weather. We shall see.

Today's card features one of the items you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration. We have one more month of SAB for this year. What's so special about this? You can earn free products with qualifying orders. For your $60+ order, you can choose a free item from the brochure for Sale-a-bration. There are some items that you can earn with a $120+ order, Heart Shaped bundle is one of them. It is a stamp set and dies!

Here's the card:

The circle is die cut using the largest circle die out of the Spotlight on Nature Dies. If you use some adhesive sheet on the back of the Gold Foil before die cutting you will have your adhesive ready to adhere to the circle. Stamp the image first! I used Dimensionals to adhere the circle on the card front. I also used Mini dimensionals under the label. That's it. This is a really simple card to make but it looks harder than that. Your recipient will love it!

Cutting Instructions:

Card Base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4"

Designer Series Paper layer: cut 4" x 5 1/4"

Basic White for circle die and label

Piece of Gold Foil Sheet to die cut the heart shaped leaves

 Here is the Video I did showing a few tips for making this card.
