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.

Secret Sister Revealed! Z-Fold Card

 This Z-fold card is a serious CASE I saw on Pinterest.  It took me 2 days to construct this card.  The first day was for the most part stamping and cutting all the pieces. 



 The fencing took the longest, with all the flower pieces following closely behind.
 I won't make this card often, simply because of the time involved - but it is seriously impressive!  SO many little details.
 I'm sure most people use a square punch to make the tops of the fence posts.  I don't have square punches, so I came up with an idea.
Using the grid paper, I measured down 1/4 of an inch from the top of the fence posts, and drew a line all the way across.  I then centered the posts on the grid paper, and drew a line  to the horizontal quarter inch line.  I then took my scissors, and cut diagonally to make the points.  After getting one, I then cut the others lining them up one at a time.
