While Samantha‘s challenge post design focused more on the pink shades in the color palette, this time pink is the accent while the cool green colors create an amazing underwater scene.


Samantha featured our sweet axolotl from I Like You (a lotl) and some ocean friends from Mermaid for You, Ocean Shell-fie and You are Sublime. She created the ocean scene using Bayou Backdrop and Distress Oxide ink in Cracked Pistachio and Evergreen Bough.


Thank you for sharing this totally charming inspiration, Samantha!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Christmas in July Challenge! For this one I wanted to create a gift exchange between a mermaid and her friend the crab.


I combined images from Mermaid for You, Life is Good, and Christmas Fishes, stamped the images in Jet Black Ink, and colored them with my Copic markers. Then I trimmed them out with their matching dies.


Then I cut out a panel of Bristol Cardstock with the Desert Canyon Backdrop and blended on Distress Oxide Inks, using Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs for the sand, and Hickory Smoke and Black Soot for the rocks. Then I did a separate panel for the sea using Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover, and Black Soot. I added some splatter to the sand to give it texture. Then I white heat embossed a sentiment at the top of the sea panel and adhered these two pieces together with foam tape, then glued them to a Cilantro card base.


I adhered my images with a combination of foam tape and liquid glue and finished off the card with a bit of sparkle using Stardust Stickles. I also did some stamping on the inside in Noble Fir Ink.

If you’d like to watch the entire process of the creation of this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope that our Christmas in July Challenge is keeping you cool this Summer! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you for inspiring us, Christy!

It’s the last weekend for the Summertime Fun – Critters on Vacation challenge and Christy shares a brilliant card to inspire you!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Summertime Fun Challenge! For this one I wanted to create a festive and fun little mermaid party. And what brings the summertime fun better than ice cream? I combined images from Treat Cart, Mermaid for You, Ocean Shell-fie, and Fintastic Friends. I stamped the images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with my Copic markers, and trimmed them out with their matching dies.


Then I cut out a panel of Bristol Cardstock with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables and another with the Stitched Simple Wavy Borders. I blended on Distress Oxide Inks, using Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers for the sea, and Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs for the sand. I did some splatter on both panels to give them some texture, then stamped a sentiment at the bottom right and adhered these two pieces together, then to a Tide Pool card base.


I adhered my images with a combination of foam tape and liquid glue and finished off the card with a bit of sparkle using Stardust Stickles. I also did some stamping on the inside in Peacock Ink.


If you’d like to watch the whole process of creating this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope you’re enjoying our Summertime Fun – Critters on Vacation challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you for inspiring us today, Christy! I love this fun scene!
