I used Christmas Palm Tree with a star from Stitched Ornaments and the gift from Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On for my beachy scene. The background is simply Copic markers scribbled to resemble sand, surf and sky. I used a sponge dauber with Yeti ink for the seafoam, embossing it with white powder for texture.

All the pieces are cut from white cardstock then colored with Copic markers. And the sentiment is from Beachy Christmas.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you are having fun with the Christmas in July challenge!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Christmas in July Challenge! For this card, I wanted to bring the holidays to the sweet baby capybara from the Capybaras! Add-on. I combined him and his froggy friend with images from Capybaras!, Kanga-rrific Add-on, Joy to All, Ugly and Bright, and Baaah Humbug. I colored them with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


Then I made a background by cutting down a piece of Bristol with the second largest Large Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables. I blended on Distress Oxide Inks, using Salvaged Patina with the Cloudy Stencil for the sky, and Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs for the ground. I stamped the sentiment in the top center with black ink.


Then I trimmed down some patterned paper from the Pint-sized Patterns Summertime 6×6 pad with the largest Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables, and another piece from Favorite Flannel with the Stitched Party Banners. I layered these on a Speckled Eggshell card base, popped up the focal panel with foam tape, and then adhered my images with liquid glue. To finish things off, I added a bit of Stardust Stickles.


If you’d like to see the whole process of creating this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I hope you enjoy it! We can’t wait to see what you create for our Christmas in July Challenge. Have an amazing day!

Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Christy! This card is absolutely beautiful!

Samantha‘s holiday design features Beachy Christmas and a beautifully stenciled background!


To create the beautiful background, Samantha masked off sections to ink blend sky, sea and sand with Distress inks. She used Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold for the sky, Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade for the sea and Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber for the sandy beach. Then she used Beach Sunset Stencils to create the sunny shimmer on the water.


Then she used a dry brush and some white paint, tapping it where the sea meets the shore to create the sea spray! So clever!


And then, she combined Beachy Christmas with Christmas Fishes to create a fun, gift-filled beach scene! Finally, she white embossed the greeting from Beachy Christmas in the sunny sky.

Thanks so much for sharing this fun beachy inspiration, Samantha!
