Hi there, lovely cardmakers!
Welcome to my blog! We are rolling right into Day 1 of the new Simon Says Stamp “Shine On” release celebration! Today, I am sharing a fun coastal card using a simple five-step formula. I am playing with two items that belong together like peanut butter and jelly: the Happy Seagull die and the Weathered Pilings die.
Instead of ink-blending a traditional blue sky background, I decided to go rogue ( I often do that:). I grabbed the Simon Leafy Greens stencil. To my eye, those leaves look alot like tangled coastline seaweed. It adds a wonderful, unexpected texture to the project and out of the ordinary. Step aside, standard waves—we are going outside the box!
Ready to see how they came together? Scroll down to watch the full video tutorial!

When I see these gulls all I can think of is the movie Finding Nemo and those gulls chattering “mine, mine, mine”. Cute card. Love the pilings too.
