Seagulls, waves, and a cheerful hello — this card captures the serene charm of a day at the seaside! Watch as I demonstrate this delightful design featuring the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Seagulls Stamp Set, which you can snag as a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $60 order.
Creative Product Pairings for Maximum Versatility
While I usually stick to greetings from the same stamp set, I had fun mixing and matching elements from other die sets this time:
- The playful waves are crafted using a die from the Beach Day Dies.
- The bold “Hello” greeting was die-cut using the Thoughtful Moments Dies & Hybrid Embossing Folder for a beautifully embossed finish.
This card is proof that combining products from different sets can lead to beautifully simple yet visually impactful designs. Plus, it offers great inspiration for products to include in your $60 order to earn the Friendly Seagulls Stamp Set for free!
