CAN YOU CAPTION THIS? FRIENDLY SEAGULLS

If you’ve ever spent much time at the seashore, you’ve more than likely seen – and heard – the raucous chattering of seagulls. They’re bossy, they’re bullies, they’re thieves, and they’re a lot of fun to watch. I pulled out Friendly Seagulls and had some fun with these characters!

  • Stamps: Friendly Seagulls
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Stylish Shapes dies, 2 3/8″ Circle Punch, Toadstool Builder Punch, Stampin’ Write Markers, Blending Brush, Masking Paper

I began by stamping all three gulls, then masking them so I could use the Blending Brushes to create a background. I used the Toadstool Builder Punch to create a mask for some mounds in the sand. I colored the gulls with Stampin’ Write Markers (I’m sorry to see them discontinued!)

This card begs for a sassier, gull-like sentiment, but I couldn’t find anything in my stash. I’m going to hand letter one, but I’m open to suggestions. How would you caption this??

Friendly Seagulls is a 2025 Sale-a-bration exclusive making a final appearance on Last Chance. when it’s gone, it’s gone!

SNAPPING UP LAST CHANCE DEALS

The LAST CHANCE list updated this week and holy smokes! For the first time, past Sale-a-bration products are available. One of my favorites is the Toadstool Gardens DSP, and I made a quick card to highlight some of the great designs in the pack.

  • Stamps: Terrific Toadstools
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Timid Tiger, Gray Granite, Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green
  • Accessories: Toadstool Gardens DSP, Toadstool Builder Punch, Simply Scoring Tool, Blender Pen, Stampin’ Write Markers, Stampin’ Dimensionals

One of the things I love about this pack is that it has bold, bright designs paired with softer, tone-on-tone patterns. I’ve used 4 different papers for this simple card, and there are plenty of other options to choose from.

I inked the toadstool cap with Timid Tiger and removed the ink from the frilly underside bits (no idea what they’re called, too lazy to search.) I used a Stampin’ Write Marker to replace that color with Gray Granite, which mirrors the coloring in the DSP. Super easy, but one of those little touches that make a card special.

Have a little fun with this paper even if you don’t have the Terrific Toadstools bundle – it would be almost as easy to fussy cut a toadstool from the paper to replicate this card. But don’t wait too long to do your Last Chance shopping: it’s called Last Chance for a reason!

Today’s Toadstool Magic has a lot more white space. The Fern 3D Embossing Folder adds a woodsy feeling and a little texture to this simple layout.

  • Stamps: Terrific Toadstools
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Fresh Freesia, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Melon Mambo
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Stylish Shapes dies, Toadstool Builder Punch, DSP Color Family Packs, 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I was wasting time doing research online looking for card sketches and came across this one. Don’t know why it tickled my fancy, but it did – thank you, Tina!

Where do you stand on Terrific Toadstools? I confess I love these bright colors, but I recently spotted some talented crafters (more research, you know) working in neutrals and I’m going to give that a try, In the meantime, you can shop the Online Store for these beautiful, vivid tones. Thanks for stopping by!
