Samantha joins us today to share the cutest “Into the Woods” inspiration! Her Yappy Birthday pup is living on the wild side while sending happy wishes!


Samantha’s cute dog is howling in an awesome forest scene that features Forest Backdrop. She stenciled the Nighttime Sky moon, then she added stars from the Starry Skies die set. And she used lots of Distress Oxide inks to create the look of a rustic woodsy scene. In addition to Yappy Birthday, she used images from S’more the Merrier (campfire) and Mermaid for You (rock).

Thank you so much for this super fun inspiration, Samantha!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Summertime Fun: Critters on Vacation Challenge! My favorite way to spend my birthday is taking a road trip and visiting someplace new. And that is just what this little dog named Sandy is doing on his big day — taking a trip to the beach! He’s got all his favorite toys with him and he’s even made a little friend. I combined images from Yappy Birthday, Yappy Birthday Add-On, On the Beach, Pool Party, and Fintastic Friends. I stamped all the images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


To build the background, I blended Distress Oxide Inks onto a panel of Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock. I started by creating a sky using Salvaged Patina along with the Cloudy Stencil. Then I masked off the bottom with a torn strip of Post-it Tape, and used Salvaged Patina, Evergreen Bough, and Peacock Feathers to create the water. Then I masked off the edges of both of those sections and used Antique Linen and Vintage Photo in the center for the sand. I also did some splatter with both inks and the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.


I trimmed that panel down with the second largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables and stamped my sentiment in the top right corner. Then I trimmed down some Fruit Salad 6×6 patterned paper with the largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I glued this to the front of a Speckled Eggshell card base and popped the focal panel up with foam tape.


I adhered my images with liquid glue and added sparkle with a touch of Stardust Stickles. On the inside, I finished the card by stamping in Mermaid Ink. If you’d like to watch this card come together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! Thanks so much for stopping by!
