FRIENDS

In every friend group, there’s one – that one friend who will always jump up during karaoke or buy you the funniest gift for your birthday or make you laugh in the most inappropriate situations. You can name that person, right? If not, then maybe it’s you!

I knew I’d be playing with the fun seagulls in the Friendly Seagulls stamp set when it was first released as a Sale-a-Bration offering. What a fun collection of these ocean pigeons. 🙂 The playful seagulls and images can be used to build a variety of projects – I chose to make a card that celebrates a friend group:

How cute are these guys?! Here’s a look at the Friendly Seagulls stamp set that can be selected with a $60 order through February 28:

I stamped all three of the seagulls with Memento Tuxedo Black on Thick Basic White, cut them out and then colored them with Smoky Slate (blended with the Color Lifter) and Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends. The crazy guy on the right is colored with a mix of Fresh Freesia, Melon Mambo, Petal Pink and Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends. I also used the Color Lifter to give him a little extra depth. Here’s a closer look at each:

I positioned my friend group over a large heart from the Hearts of Elegance Dies and a banner I built with a 1″ strip of Pool Party cardstock and black letters cropped with the Mini Alphabet Dies (I cropped these letters with an Adhesive Sheet to make gluing them down SO EASY!

Here’s a look at the must-have Mini Alphabet Dies:

All of these elements are positioned over a distressed, Pool Party panel from the Shades & Hues 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper – it have a beachy appeal. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Shades & Hues 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:

I peppered my showboating seagull with a bust of Petunia Pop 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. They aren’t the same purple, but they really pull from the different shades in the silly bird.
