Leave a comment

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!

I have enjoyed creating these even though we were going thru a heatwave here in the UK!!! 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!!! The card in the video is 7 x 5 but I have included cutting instructions for a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card if you prefer that size.

Welcome to my Corner of the World

As I share in my video creating Christmas-themed cards in July is not something I can recall doing before, however I thought I would do something this year, despite us being in the middle of a heatwave here in the UK. I am planning to do a short series of 3 cards, today I have chosen traditional colors and theme, I will then do a more contemporary one and will end up with a whimsical one toward the end of the month. I hope you enjoy this one as I am very fond of using the more traditional colours of red, green and white with a little hint of gold!!

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.
