Last Christmas in July - Carols of Christmas

I first made this very simple card first while I was just playing around with the stamp set and die cuts.  It's plain.  Pretty, but very simple and very much NOT my style.

 Now... I added details.  I embossed the background with the Holly folder - but I could have just as well used the Softly Falling folder to make it look like there was snow.  I cut the sentiment with the Stitched Shapes square die, and used white embossing powder on the trees with a touch of Wink of Stella.

 Here's a bonus card for today!  I hadn't used the poinsettia cut outs, and wanted to play with them as well. 

 I hope you've enjoyed this year's Christmas in July offerings!  I'll post more Christmas Cards as December draws near and the new items from the catalog debuting on September 1st.

Christmas in July - Peace on Earth Simple Design

Today's card is a simple design.  I usually go for detailed, quite busy designed cards and decided to make this very straightforward.
The top and bottom accents in Garden Green ink are one of two options in this stamp set.

 I'm going to work with this design again - emboss the background - give the greeting a mat - give the trees more detail.
Stay tuned!

Christmas in July - Deck the Halls with Swag

I mentioned a few days ago about how Christmas songs get stuck playing in my head... well this one Deck the Halls made me think of a story I enjoy reading about how the hallways were decorated with swags of evergreen boughs.  My mom puts up a swag to the living room that frames the tree every year.  It's beautiful.

After I made the first card similar to this, I had an idea.

 Here's a close-up where I'm trying to show all the dimension on this card with the ornaments popped up and the swag and acorn only attached at the top.

 Here you can see the ornaments a little more clearly.

 SO pretty!

I love this frame die!  It gives the card some extra detail and shows the card base though.  So elegant.

August 1st is the date!  Keep it in mind.  You can order this set starting August 1st, 2017.  Stop back and click the link below.
