Hey there, crafty friends! 🦀 I’m excited to share this fun and festive birthday card featuring the Ocean Friends bundle and Day to Celebrate Sale-a-Bration stamp set. The bright crab and the stunning coral are the stars of this design, bringing a pop of color and fun to any birthday celebration! This card is perfect for anyone who loves the ocean or enjoys quirky, playful cards that are sure to make a splash.
This card features the adorable crab from the Ocean Friends bundle, stamped in bright pinks and blues for a fun and cheerful look. I paired the crab with the beautiful coral die cuts that create texture and interest on the background. The intricate coral layers contrast wonderfully with the bold, blue waves embossed with the Soft Waves 3D embossing folder.
For the sentiment, I chose a simple “Happy Birthday” (from the Day to Celebrate stamp set), keeping the focus on the vibrant imagery of the ocean scene. The colors on this card—blues, pinks, and reds—combine beautifully for a lively and joyful birthday greeting. A few embellishments add a finishing touch for a little sparkle and shine.
When creating cards with detailed elements like this one, it helps to keep the color palette cohesive and fresh. By sticking to a few main colors, such as the pinks, blues, and reds, you can keep the card from feeling too busy while still having it stand out.
The full supply list for this card can be found further down on this blog post. You can also see the video link and the class information below!
