‘Christmas in July’ # 3 ~ Whimsical Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

The 3rd and final ‘Christmas in July’ card for 2026. I wanted whimsical and I think I have achieved that ~ it is soooo stinkin’ cute!

Today I am just using some card and paper ~ no ink, no stamps, no punch or dies ~ not even a piece of ribbon but just a few rhinestones and some adhesive!!!

‘Christmas in July’ # 1 ~ Traditional Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Welcome to the Christmas in July Blog Hop – a collection of ideas from Stampin’ UP! demonstrators all over the globe showcasing  the brand new and fantastic ‘Carols of Christmas’ bundle which has a stamp set with the same name and the ‘Card Front Builder Thinlets Dies.You will have come from Betty Bickford ~ I just hope my card is up to the same standard.

Each of us has been asked to design a card using this bundle and other products from the current 2017 – 2018 annual catalog.

When I saw the bundle for the first time it literally screamed GOLD heat embossing to me so that was my starting point, I chose very traditional colors of Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla to compliment the gold.
