This week we’re diving into our crafty stash to create cards for our favorite Valentines. Maybe it’s your kiddo or your spouse or a niece or nephew. I think one of the most fun things is creating a card with a certain person in mind. And today’s design is inspired by a family joke about my love of everything potato but most especially fries and chips! The new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called Friendly Seagulls is absolutely perfect for pulling off today’s Valentine for one of my fellas.
We get started on today’s card with a base of Crumb Cake cardstock. The background is a combination of Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock glimmer paper that is embossed using the Soft Waves embossing folder. I cut along the embossed wave pattern to create two separate sea panels and adhered them over the sunset backdrop with layers of dimensionals. I used the Otterly Amazing dies to cut 3 separate poles from Crumb Cake and Gray Granite cardstock to peek up out of the water. Our flock of seagulls from the Friendly Seagulls stamp set is stamped on white cardstock, colored with Stampin’ Blends, and then fussy cut with paper snips before being adhered to our scene with dimensionals. I even included the little box of fries to carry out our theme beyond just the bird with a few fries in its beak. The sentiments are each stamped on white cardstock and then diecut with several different dies, including the banner from Countryside Corners, the rough board from Friends for Life, and the oval from Changing Leaves. Each one is adhered over a pole with dimensionals. I finished things off with some hearts scattered around the sentiment.
I just love these seagulls. There are so many possibilities to create adorable scenes. And the sentiments included in the stamp set make it a breeze to create cute Valentines! I hope you’ll pop in tomorrow to see what other critters might come to our warm & fuzzy party.
