Hi creative and crafty friends! It’s my day today on The Greetery Blog! How has your Summer been? Can you believe it’s August!? Hot Summer nights, and maybe some fishing?! Today’s card was inspired by Summer colors and themes. Maybe one final blast of summer colors and themes? Not sure yet! I combined lots of old and new supplies from the Greetery to create a vibrant and silly birthday card – birthday fishes! My goal for today is to inspire you to look at your stamping supplies in a different way – for example – carrot leaves as seaweed!… Let’s get started!

My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered some stripey paper from my stash (to evoke a beach umbrella)… I used the largest die from the Canned Dies to create my white background layer. I used the awesome Making Waves stencils to stencil the background waves. (I used only a portion of the stencil and that’s good too!) See, lots of uses for different items!
Here’s a side view of all the different layers! I combined different sentiments and I love the little banner one! I made my crab pink this time instead of red. I think she’s a girl crab. LOL. And that adorable little smile! Hee hee

I die cut the Honeycomb Crab from salmon pink cardstock and die cut the fishies and party hats from the Something Fishy die set. I thought it would be so cute to have the crab holding up the fish! (This card makes me smile) I used the Botaniuts Carrot dies to make my ‘seaweed’ for some added interest. I used two sentiments on this card – from the Honeycomb Summer Sentiments and the Something Fishy Sentiments. I added some aqua colored enamel dots and glitter as my final touches. This will be a fun card for the fisherman/woman in your life!
Don’t you love that pink + aqua color combo? So fresh!

Have fun – get our your supplies and mix and match everything. Look at your dies in a different way – and who knows what you might come up with! That’s it for my project for today! I hope you have an awesome and creative day! Cheers to the end of Summer and all of it’s magic. It’s my pleasure to share with you every month. I will see you soon… In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda
