We Fish You a Merry Christmas

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #224 Christmas in July for this festive underwater Christmas card is full of playful details, from the Santa-hat sea creatures to the decorated seaweed tree from Lawn Fawn Christmas Fishes Stamp Set. I used Thermoweb Transfer Duo with the bubbly underwater stencil and Thermoweb Decofoil Silver Sparkle. The layered ocean waves are Thermoweb Decofoil Indigo Dreams and blue cardstock.  The “We Fish you a Merry Christmas” sentiment is a fun play on the classic Christmas carol.

Bleep Bloop Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends,
This little birthday bot from Unity Stamps called Bot You a Present is ready to beep, boop, and party with his balloon in hand and heart all lit up. For, my first card I paired him with bold red foil fireworks and bright blue accents for a fun, shiny birthday card. For my second card, I used softer red, white, and blue papers with a shiny heart balloon for a sweet celebration card that feels cute, cheerful, and ready to beep-boop the birthday fun.
