Christmas in July - Event!


"This looks familiar," you say?  Why, yes, it does!  It's an update to current paper and supplies from the card I made earlier this month.  You can get the 'stuff' to duplicate this card!
Contact me to find out how to make this card.  It's a cute card, and so very easy when you know the technique! The post from July 10th - I rocked out a dozen of these in a very short period of time.

Christmas in July - Those Jars Again!?



Yes!  I revamped my design from the first ones I posted a few days ago.  I made 4 of this design, and I like it better.  We used this card for my July club this past Saturday.  
Instead of the natural twine, I used some of my red sparkly twine and tied a triple bow.  I used the sentiment again from the Hang your Stocking stamp set, but changed it up.

I used Always Artichoke and Wild Wasabi for the greenery to contrast it from the Garden Green jar.

I have many favorite Christmas cards, and this one photographs quite well.  I really like this one!!

Christmas in July - Christmas Jars


Here are those Christmas Pines again!
This card is definitely going to be a part of this year's Christmas Stamp-A-Stack!  I'm going to change it just a bit.  It's SO cute!
I used the Holly embossing folder to add some interest to the background, and some jute twine around the mouth of each jar.

Now that I look at this card on my screen, it doesn't look like much.  Really not sure why because it was really great in person!

You're probably asking yourself why do I talk about my cards in the past tense?  A few reasons, actually.  First, I've already made them and have moved on to the next card.  Second - as soon as I make a Christmas card, I sign it and seal it in an envelope.  That way when it's time to send out cards, I just have to attach 3 things....  a stamp, a return address label, and a label for who receives it.  I keep everyone's name in a database and just print the labels!  The remaining cards go to neighbors and coworkers.  Quick!

Definitely give this one a try.

Christmas in July - Christmas Reindeer


Today I'm using up last season's Designer Series Paper (DSP).  It was great paper, and I am at the point where I just need to use it!  SO... here goes.
I used 3 bases.  Real Red, Early Espresso, and Crumb Cake.  The reindeer were all stamped in Early Espresso ink on Crumb cake paper.  See tomorrow's post for a great way to stamp out images with the builder punches.  There's a tip.
On the Espresso backgrounds, I stamped with Versamark ink, embossed with white powder, and immediately added Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  After adding the glitter, give the whole thing a touch
of heat just to set all the powder and glitter. 

The cards area all very straight forward, and VERY cute! 

When you've had enough of one background, turn the paper over and see if that looks as good!
This turned out to be a series of a dozen cards.  I just stamped, colored, cut, and adhered all the pieces together.  Easy, quick, and super cute!
