Make a Wish on Fireworks

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by Hook Line and Inkers "Send a Card" Challenge of FIREWORKS for this card. The little bear staring up at the sky is Colorado Craft Company Anita Jeram Well Loved Stamp Set. The amazing fireworks background is Newton's Nook Firework Stencil with Thermoweb Red Decofoil.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Did you go see fireworks this year?
A: Me? No, my poor puppy Maddie is soooo afraid and I had to stay with her

You're the Starfish in My Love Story

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am showing off Brass & Bliss How About Lunch Stamp Set 37017 which is a perfect set for summer featuring these darling starfish. I colored them up in rainbow colors and framed them with one of my all time favorite Brass & Bliss nesting dies, Nested Scallop with Holes Dies 5300D.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What color starfish would you like to exist in real life?
A: Me? Fluorescent Pink

Step #1: I colored the starfish from the How About Lunch Stamp Set in rainbow colors red, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

Step #2: I created my background by die cutting the largest die of the Nested Scallop with Holes die in white cardstock. Then, I tore a piece of kraft paper to make the sand and die cut the bottom to match my white background.

Step #3: I added my stars along the sand and I popped up every other one with foam squares. Then, I stamped the cute sentiment on the right side of my card above the blue and purple starfish.

Step #4: I finished my card by adding some gems to look like bubbles.
