Christmas in July Card by Larissa Heskett

Holiday Cheer Card!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

Larissa here today to share a festive Christmas in July card today using some of my FAVORITE products to create a FUN scene!! I LOVE the Holiday Haul image and wanted to show how it can pair perfectly with the size of the Christmas Time Cat and Christmas Time Dog images, so I hope this INSPIRES you to create some Christmas scenes!!

This card features:

Christmas Time Cats Die Set
Holiday Haul Stamp Set

I started by stamping and embossing the images from the Holiday Haul, Christmas Time Cats, Christmas Time Dogs and Newton's Christmas Tree stamp sets!! I stamped with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder onto white cardstock!! Then I colored the images with Copic markers!!


Truck: G00, G02 & G45
Green: YG00, YG13 & YG25

Red: R00, R14 & R37
Turquoise: BG00, BG45 & BG49

Yellow: Y00, Y13 & YR23
White: N0, N3 & N5

Black: N0, N3, N5 & N8
Orange: YR00 & YR68

Brown: E30, E33 & E37
Cats: E40, E43 & E47 

Pink: R00

Then I die cut the images out using the coordinating dies for Holiday Haul, Christmas Time Cats, Christmas Time Dogs and Newton's Christmas Tree die sets!! I then added some white gel pen highlights and some back glaze pen to the noses and then added some Glitter Nuvo Drops and some Ranger Glossy Accents for some sparkle and shine!! I LOVE how all of these things bring the images to LIFE!!

Next, I created the background I die cut some white cardstock using the Basic Frames Die Set!! Then I inked the background with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink after masking off the bottom of the card panel with some masking tape. I then masked the sky and inked the ground with some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink. I wanted to add some snow falling to the background, so I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Christmas Greeting Stamp Set and then I added some Salvaged Patina Distress Spritz and some Picket Fence Distress Paint Splatters for the falling snow. I also applied some liquid adhesive to the ground and added some Distress Rock Candy Glitter for the snow!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE how it looks just like real glittering snow!!

Next, I adhered the images to the background panel using some foam tape for some dimension!! I added the extra present, candy cane and ornament images to help to set the scene even more and I LOVE these little images for that reason! They can be used in so many different ways!! 




Lastly, I die cut the scalloped frame using the Frames & Flags Die Set and die cut it from some Bright Basics Paper!! I adhered the card panel and then added some foam tape for some dimension before adhering it to a white cardstock A2 card-base for some dimension!!

I hope this card gets you EXCITED for some Christmas in July creations and combining some of your FAVORITE images to create some festive scenes!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today!
I hope you have a FABULOUS Weekend!

Clean & Simple Meowy Christmas Card by Farhana Sarker

Meowy Christmas!!

Today Farhana has created beautiful clean and simple Christmas card using our Christmas Time Cats Stamp Set and Christmas Tree Line Stencil. 

She started out by creating a row of trees along the top of her white card base using our Christmas Tree Line Stencil. This awesome stencil has three rows of trees so you can easily create multi-colored tree images. You just ink up one row with your first color and then move the stencil to ink up the next row using your additional color. Do the same thing one more time for the third color. Easy peasy!

In front of the line of trees Farhana added that cute kitty peeking behind the tree from our new Christmas Time Cats Stamp Set. The size of this image coordinates perfectly with the stenciled trees! 

The final touch is the sentiment, stamped in black next to the kitty. This card is purr-fect for sending to a cat lover this holiday! 

We hope this quick and easy card has inspired your Christmas crafting!

Sending Sparkles & Holiday Cheer Card by Donna Idlet

Sparkles and Cheer!

We are filling today with sparkle and shine on this glittery card by Donna! She adds sparkle THREE ways by using using our 'Tis the Season Toner Card Fronts, our Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment and our Christmas Trees Hot Foil Plates & Dies! 

For this cute and sparkly scene she first used deco foil with the candy striped panel from our 'Tis the Season Toner Card Fronts. This created her sparkly card background. 

To hold her scene she used the large stitched rectangle from our Basic Frames Die Set, cutting it in white. She then added a green & white stripe along the bottom using our Christmas Party Paper Pad. She then cut out three sparkly gifts using our Gift Builder Die Set with our Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock. WOW! So pretty and colorful! Next to the gifts she inserted a shiny tree that she had created using our Christmas Trees Hot Foil Plates & Dies. 

To complete the scene she stamped and colored the dog and cat from our Christmas Time Dogs Stamp Set and Christmas Time Cats Stamp Set holding their gifts and added them on in front of the green striped paper.  Last, she added the sentiment from the Christmas Greetings Stamp Set onto a circle cut out with our Circle Frames Die Set.  

There are so many ways to add sparkle! Which one is your favorite? You can try them all using our fun holiday products!
