New at SU!: Friendly Seagulls Coordination

new at su banner

Welcome to our January NEW AT SU! Blog Hop! We love to share creative ideas from Stampin' Up!®️ with you. Today we have cards featuring the products from the new Sale-A-Bration brochure teamed up with other current products. I chose the adorable Friendly Seagulls stamp set, which is a Sale-A-Bration stamp set and teamed it with another seaside product, the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper. 





For this card, I decided to use a variation of the side step fun fold to add more visual interest. This version I got from Connie Stewart, and it is much easier than the original version of the fun fold.

For the card:
  • I started with a cardstock base in Lemon Lime Twist, measuring 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored along the long edge at 1 1/4", 2 1/2" and 5 1/2". The folds were done accordion style to form a z shape.
  • I cut another Lemon Lime piece at 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored it along the long edge at 4 1/4". Fold to form a V. 
  • On the z fold card, I cut two pieces of the Friends of the Ocean DSP, one 1" x 5 1/4", and one 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" to cover to two front facing surfaces, and adhered them.
  • On the v fold card I cut some Basic White cardstock at 2 3/4" x 3 1/2" and some Friends of the Ocean DSP as a backing at 3 1/4" x 4". I used the images from the Friendly Seagulls stamp set that you see to stamp the Basic White Cardstock, then coloured it using Stampin' Blends markers in Lost Lagoon, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake. On a separate piece of cardstock I stamped and coloured two more seagulls, fussy cut them, and mounted them on the side steps using glue dots.
  • I adhered the stamped panel and DSP backing on the front of the v fold card then glued it to the z fold card on the right hand side.
  • I cut a 2 1/4" x 5" piece of Basic White cardstock to be the message panel for the back of the card, with a backing of DSP measuring 2 3/4" x 5 1/2". This was stamped with the images you see and coloured with Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Summer Splash Stampin' Blends markers, then affixed to the back of the card.
