Stampin' Up Seas the Day Crabs - Creations in Paper

Stampin’ Up Seas the Day Crabs

Happy Wednesday everyone – all my crab loving friends will love my Stampin’ Up Seas the Day Crabs creation today.

As you know Vicky from vicky-wright.com and I have teamed up to give you a mini blog hop each Wednesday.

This month we are focusing on the Seas the Day bundle which is in the current Jan – June mini catalog.

I wanted to use the crabs from the set and knew my Maryland friends would love the blue crabs I stamped. I discovered how to make them look like blue crabs several years ago when we had another set with crabs in it. Here is a close up so you can see those cute crabs.

Since those crabs were so cute I had to use them along with the blog from Artistically Inked to do the inside of the card and envelope.

I love how the blog from Artistically Inked looks like water. The Stampin' Up Seas the Day Crabs creation uses pattern paper for a fun frame. Check out all the details.

In case you missed some of the other cards I made using this bundle, here is another one where I used the same frame. If are into octopus, here is one I made using another of the patterns from the Waves of the Ocean pattern paper.

To see what Vicky did this week, click on the photo below.

Ready to make this card? Here are all the details.
