Christmas in July

I have busy with the Dare to Get Dirty challenges at Splitcoast Stampers both hosting, creating samples, and just keeping up. I decided to take time away and create something for myself. I made two identical Christmas cards.

I used a Paper Pumpkin set from a few years ago on this card. I saw the idea on Pinterest and followed her plan. I used SU Cherry Cobbler cardstock and Accent White for the card base and layer. I embossed the flower image with Wow Pale Gold embossing powder. I added Nuvo drops for an embellishment.

I will upload this to the Christmas Craft Creations Anything Goes July Theme: https://christmas-craft-creations.blogspot.com/2023/07/july-challenge-reminder-anything-goes.html

The next challenge it will be loaded to is Double D Challenge: Christmas in July https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2023/07/christmas-in-july.html

The last challenge this will be added to is Peace on Earth Christmas challenge #44: https://peaceonearthchristmas.blogspot.com/2023/07/peace-on-earth-christmas-challenge-44.html

Thank you for joining me today. I have a few more days of the DTGD challenge at Splitcoast Stampers, so my craft room will be a mess for a while. I had to do a bit of cleaning this morning so I could at least see the top of my work space. Stay inside and enjoy the cool, especially if your temperatures are as high as they are here.

Christmas in July Gifts

I found time to create a Christmas card today. I kept it simple.

I use the Lawn Fawn Simply Celebrate Winter and Simply Winter Sentiments sets. The colors match the CC956 challenge at Splitcoast Stampers: Pool Party, Old Olive, and Cherry Cobbler colors by SU. My card has Lawn Fawn Kiddie Pool, Cilantro, and Gina K Designs Cherry Red inks for my gifts. I watercolored the gifts using a waterbrush. I used The Stamps of Life Stitched Rectangle dies and a mat of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to complete the card.

I am finding the hot July weather a good time to begin making Christmas cards. Thanks for stopping by to see my card.
