I Love You More Than Chips! A Card That Says It All

Made by Kylie Burke

This card was made as part of the Creative Stampers Team Swap 2025, utilizing the Sale-A-Bration Catalog (Jan–Feb 2025). The Friendly Seagulls stamp set (Retired) was used for the lively bird illustrations, stamped with Memento Black Ink for crisp detailing. The layout follows a landscape tent fold, giving the card a sturdy and stylish structure.

This handmade card is an absolute delight, blending humor with heartfelt sentiment in a way that immediately catches the eye. The front design features three charming, cartoon-style birds, each with a distinct personality. One appears to be squawking enthusiastically, while another stands calmly, offering balance. The third bird brings an unexpected and humorous twist, holding a french fry in its beak, with a small box of fries nearby—a playful touch that adds to the card’s charm.

The background is softly blended with Summer Splash Ink, giving it a breezy, sky-like effect that complements the seagull imagery. Tiny embellishments from the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix scatter across the design, lending just the right amount of sparkle and movement. The sentiment, in bold black lettering, reads “I love you MORE than”, setting up a fun surprise when the recipient opens the card.

Inside, the upper half is a striking Petunia Pop shade, tying in beautifully with the outer frame. The lower half features Basic White Cardstock, providing a clean space for a personalized message. A small, illustrated box of fries accompanies the handwritten-style word “CHIPS”, reinforcing the humorous theme while leaving room for heartfelt words.

I have the Friendly Seagulls stamp set in my collection and can create custom cards inspired by this design if anyone is interested! Whether you’d like a personalized sentiment or a unique color scheme, I’d love to craft something special just for you.
