Friendly SeaGulls

Leave a comment February 26, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Sale-A-Bration is ending in just 3 days (February 28th), and I had to showcase some of my favorite SAB items before they’re gone! I created three different cards using the same layout from page 22 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue—each one featuring a unique and fun Sale-A-Bration product. If you haven’t grabbed these goodies yet, now is the time!

Card #1: Heart Shaped Bundle

This elegant card highlights the Heart Shaped Bundle, stamped in Highland Heather Ink and accented with the Fresh Freesia Seam Binding Ribbon. I love how the delicate heart wreath creates a soft and pretty focal point. Perfect for sending a sweet note!

Card #2: Friendly Seagulls

For a more playful look, I used the Friendly Seagulls Stamp Set and paired it with soft ombré tones from the Ocean Friends 12X12 DSP. The background gives an ocean-inspired feel, and those little fish add the perfect whimsical touch!

Card #3: Fruit Salad DSP

This card is all about fresh and fruity vibes! Featuring the Fruit Salad 6×6 DSP, I fussy cut some of the fruit elements to create a vibrant, dimensional look. Such a fun and cheerful card!
