Christmas in July Card 3

This cards was so easy that my granddaughter's are going to love making it. I used Bashful Blue and Always Artichoke papers with a scrap of designer paper left over from last Christmas . Snow Flurries and Flakey Friends added all I needed for a HappyHolidays card.

I stamped Snow flurries in Always Artichoke and puched out one to add to the label with a dimensional. Layered and added a perky knotted ribbon for accent. Have fun using this pattern and let your imagination run wild.

Christmas in July Card 2

Lovely as a Tree with Iridescent Ice makes a sparkling tree for your Christmas giving. Stamp off with white for the side trees after masking the center tree. Then stamp without stamping off the center tree and emboss. Merry Christmas ifs from the Holidays & Wishes set. Cardstock Night of Navy, Bravo Burgandy and Whisper White make this card elegant and dreamy.

This card reminds me of a time at Grandma's house when it snowed on Christmas Day leaving the trees a winter wonderland.

Christmas in July Deer Friends

The new Level 2 Hostess set Deer Friends was used with Real Red, Artichoke and Red Designer paper for this quick and easy Christmas card.

I love the Scallop Punch it can add so much with one easy motion.

Santa's Hat has a piece of designer paper for a splash of color and a dash of dazzling diamonds glitter for pizzazz. White satin ribbon tied around the middle finishes this Holiday Happiness card.

Garden Whimsy is a versatile set. Old Olive and Pomagrante make a stunning card. I used warm regards but any script would work.

The snail would be cute for a child's birthday.

Be sure to use the Stamp-a- ma- jig to place the butterfly and words.

July is Coming to a Close

As July winds down and August comes into play I am excitedly waiting for our new Fall/Winter catalog to come.



Each year I enjoy thumbing through the new catalog for stamp sets, papers and accessories that will make stamping even more fun.



New stamps sets arrived this week and I will be posting pictures after I play tonight. Be sure to come back to view ideas, colors and stamping ideas to share.

My outraageous Open House is scheduled for August 16th and will have lots of chances to experiment with techniques, see the new In Colors, and make n takes.
