Thinking of you at Christmas

Hello and welcome to the first card project for the Christmas in July series. I will create a card each week with a Christmas Holiday theme with list of supplies used and instructions on how to put the card together. If you are interested in any of the supplies I use please feel free to visit my online shop to make a purchase. The project for today is subtle with a splash of color and I really love the sequins and flagged banners.

I used this card in a weekend challenge for a group I'm in. This could easily be mass-produced if you only use one card design for Holiday cards.

Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think.

Supplies used:
.

1. Create a card base from Very Vanilla card stock that is 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼””.

2. Cut a piece of the This Christmas DSP to 4” x 5 ¼” and sponge the edges with Tip Top Taupe ink and adhere this panel to the card base.

3. Cut a 1” x 5 ¼” strip of paper and notched the edges to create a flagged end ( I used a square punch to create this piece) and then cut a ¾” wide piece of Very Vanilla and create a flagged end. Stamp the sentiment on the Very Vanill flag using Mossy Meadow ink. Adhere the 2 flagged pieces together and then to the DSP on the card front.

4. On a scrap piece of Very Vanilla card stock stamp the focal image using Cherry Cobbler ink and then the second layer in Real Red in and cut out the image (including the leaves). Stamp the same image again but this time use Mossy Meadow ink and cut out the whole image. Place red stamped image over the Mossy Meadow image using a glue dot and then adhere this to the flagged banners using a dimensional.

5. Add gold sequins in a visual triangle around the card front.

For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Very Vanilla card stock to 4” x 5 ¼” and stamped another sentiment in the center of the panel. Adhere to the inside of the card base.

I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

Hang Your Stocking Christmas card 7-28-19

Hello crafters and welcome to some Christmas inspiration on the blog today. I am in the process of using up my stash and making as many cards as possible before the hustle bustle of the season begins. The card for today features the Hang Your Stocking stamp set and Festive Farmhouse DSP (designer series paper). I stamped the stocking and the sentiment using Cherry Cobbler ink and then stamped the snowflakes with VersaMark ink and heat set with some silver embossing powder. I love how this card came out and more inspiration is on the way. Take a look at the project below and please let me know what you think. Supplies used: . I also popped up the focal image using Scotch 3M Foam tape. I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

Graceful Garden friendship card

Here's my second card for the weekend. I just can't stop with the butterflies and I wanted to feature the ink colors in a clean and simple card. Sequins just had to be added for a little sparkle. The colors I used will be retiring soon so if you like them go and grab then while you can. I hope you'll take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. Supplies:

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello and welcome to the first Valentine's card I have created for this year. I had to switch card making mode after making so many Christmas cards. This one was hard for me to finish off after having all of the elements cut and had some help coming up with the finishing touches like the sentiment placement and heart sequins. All of the papers used are Stampin' Up as well as the heart sequins. I really like how this one turned out and hope you will as well.
