Christmas in July Card by Amanda Wilcox

Christmas in July

Did you today it is exactly 5 months util Christmas? Amanda noticed this and decided to celebrate with a Christmas themed card today! 

For this lovely holiday card she used stamped and colored the nutcracker from our Nutcrackers Stamp Set. She added gold accents to his outfit for a fun festive touch. The image was cut out using our coordinating Nutcrackers Die Set. 

The background was created by using our Music Stencil with gold texture paste over a green inked panel. The postage edge was added by die cutting the panel using our Framework Die Set. So pretty!  The finishing touch is the sentiment "Joyful Tidings" from our Heartfelt Holidays Stamp Set which was embossed in white onto a banner die cut out using our 
Banner Trio Die Set. 

We hope this card has inspired you to get a jump start on your holiday cards! It's never to early to work ahead, that way you won't be rushing to get them done at the holidays!
