Hello and welcome to the Share it Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing the cards designed for my January classes using the Friendly Seagulls stamp set.

Colours used in these cards are:

Flip Flap Card – Inspired by a card made by Amy of Just A Little Ink

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5¾” – scored at 4⅛” and with the front edge at 1” on the right of the trimmer, cut from the top down to 1¾” and from the bottom to 3⅛”. Score the remaining 1” tab at 1”
Pool Party – 5¾” by 3”
Pool Party – 5¾” by 1¼”
Pebbled Path – 3” by 3” – Die cut a square using the Stylish Shapes Dies
Daffodil Delight – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” – Die cut a square using the Stylish Shapes Dies
Basic White – 2” by ¾”

We embossed the 2 panels of Pool Party card with the So Swirly Embossing Folder. Glue the larger to the front of the card and the smaller to the right-hand side of the inside of the card.

The seagull was stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto the die cut Basic White square. I added the ‘sand’ in Smoky Slate ink. The pouch of chips and the birds in flight were stamped in the same Pebbled Path ink.

We used the following Blends to colour in the images. Light Lemon Lolly for the sand, Light and Dark Smoky Slate for the wings, Light Real Red for the pouch, Light Crumb Cake for the chips with a layer of light Daffodil Delight on top and Dark Daffodil Delight for the beak and feet.

The decorated square was glued to the Daffodil Delight square and then to the Stitched Pebbled Path square. The square was the added to the 1” tab using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Attention Shopper stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic White card in Pebbled Path ink. I added a little glue to the top of the sentiment and tucked it under the square.

Trio of Birds Card

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”

Basic White – 6½” by 2¼” – Die cut 3 squares using the Stylish Shapes Dies

The birds were coloured using the light Pool Party, light and dark Daffodil Delight, light Crumb Cake and light Smoky Slate Blend Pens. We placed the squares face down, butted up against each other and attached them together with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the larger Pool Party panel before adding the piece to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using a Blending Brush, we added Daffodil Delight ink around the whole panel making sure not to get it on any of the birds.

The birds were coloured using Light Pool Party, Light and Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Crumb Cake and Light Smoky Slate. The coloured panel was glued to the Smoky Slate panel.

We wrapped a length of Daffodil Delight ⅛” Ribbon around the panel, secured it on the back with Sellotape and added the whole panel to the Pebbled Path card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Attention Shopper stamp set was stamped on the strip of Pool Party card in Pebbled Path ink. We flagged the end and added it to the card front. A ribbon bow completed the card.
