A WREATH OF FRIENDLY SEAGULLS!

Hello and welcome to my blog today!

Over the past few days on my Instagram account, I have been sharing wreath-inspired card designs, and I wanted to share how I created the cards with you all. 

During my weekly live demonstration, I shared the measurements, technique and thought process behind using small images from a number of stamp sets to create a fun wreath-style card design. 

I love the cheerful tone to this card, and although I have designed it as a Birthday card, it would also work for a number of different occasions!

I mainly used two stamp sets to bring this card together; Friendly Seagulls and Choose Happy.  The Friendly Seagulls Stamp Set is not available until January, however the Choose Happy Stamp Set is available online (select the image below)

To create this card design I used the following measurements:

• Card Base - 5.5" x 11", scored at 5.5" / 14cm x 28cm, scored at 14cm
• Card Layer - 5.25" x 5.25"  13cm x 13cm
