Christmas in July - July 1, 2018

Here we go again!  It's Christmas in July.
I had a moment when I thought I might skip doing this for 2018 - but changed my mind.  Now I have more cards I want to make than days in July! 

I'm starting out with some retired items.  Maybe you have these stamps - and if you don't you can certainly substitute and get the same look.

The DSP for this card is called Presents and Pinecones.

If you look closely, I used the Ribbon Border punch.  I came late to the party with this punch and have made up for it by using it all over!  It's great for adding a little border to the edge of a piece. 

As always, my very favorite Merry Christmas stamp. 
It has also been long-retired but I love it so much I will continue using it.

I made 6 of these cards.  Why 6 you ask?  For a few reasons.  When I cut 3 pieces of cardstock bases, I get 6 card bases and it's quick and easy to continue stamping once you've started!  Plus, I give out many Christmas cards every year so I need to add to my stash.

Stop by every day to check out the Christmas cards!
