Christmas in July Blog Hop

Hello stamping friends,

I know it's been a super busy day here, but I hope you are loving all of the inspiration waiting for you. This is a blog hop with the Stampers' Dozen group. Theme this month is Christmas in July, of course. 

I choose to keep it simple with my card. If you are anything like me, you have the best intentions to make some grand Christmas cards and send them out, but you run out of time, don't make your cards, or worse, make them without sending them. Well, this card will take some pressure off of you and leave you feeling accomplished. Plus, it's still a pretty card that your friends and family will love to receive.

I used the Merriest Trees stamp set to create this simple, yet elegant card. The two-step stamping gives depth to the tree very easily. Three quick stamps and your card is stamped. Four pieces of cardstock and some dimensionals give your a complete card that is super quick and easy to make. This allows you time to still make all of your Christmas cards while leaving you plenty of time to do all of the other great holiday activities and events that you have on your list. 

I used shaded spruce and shy shamrock ink for this card. The cardstock is thick whisper white, regular whisper white, and shaded spruce. Minimal supplies makes this even better.

What do you think? Can you make 50 of these in minimal time? Don't you think people will love receiving it?

Don't forget to keep hopping. You're sure to love the other Christmas in July inspiration.

Also, we are almost halfway through July and that means we are halfway through the Bonus Days promotion. For every $50 in orders now through July 31, you will receive a $5 Bonus coupon to use in August.

Christmas in July

Hello Stamping Friends,

Hope all of you had a great week. This week at the Sisters in Stamping we are celebrating Christmas in July. And to make it a little sweeter I made a card using some items from the upcoming August - December 2020 mini catalog to give you a sneak peek. You are going to love the mini catalog because it is packed full of awesome new goodies to create with.

Isn't this little elf adorable? He is also the epitome of Christmas decorating for so many of us, tangled in lights as we try to decorate. I also absolutely love the new plaid paper. So many color varieties that will last through the fall and holiday season. But then again, you know I love my stripes and polka dots. 

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping to see more Christmas in July ideas.  Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

Christmas in July Blog Hop

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Have you been enjoying the warm summer days? I know we had some crazy record breaking hot temps last week. Sure glad that's over. I'm not a fan of trying to break records (either cold or hot), let's just keep the temps comfortable Mother nature, please.  Well, just in case you are still hot we are bringing some cool thoughts your way with Christmas in July today on the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop. Be sure to scroll down to see even more great Christmas ideas shared by other great stamper friends of mine.

This may not be a new idea to everyone but I've never tried it and have been wanting to make a cookie sheet card since I saw this set. I love the way it turned out and it was super simple to make. This is a fantastic card to make a lot of because it will be done in a snap. Seriously, it only took me 20 minutes from start to finish. That's starting with gathering all my supplies and finishing with taking the pictures for me blog. Not bad since I was playing with sizes to get them just right. Isn't it adorable?  

One gingerbread can easily be turned from a "boy" to a "girl" by changing the bow and the placement of the bow. They look so happy together. With the Designer series paper on sale this month, you can get a great headstart on those Christmas cards.

Thanks for hopping by. Don't forget to keep hopping.

Christmas In July

Hello Stamping Friends,

Welcome to another great blog hop. It's never to early to begin thinking about your Christmas cards and Stampin' Up! knows that too. This month they are offering a great deal to anyone that joins the Stampin' Up! family and we wanted to give you some awesome ideas using this new set that you would get along with the rest of your kit (the framelits are not part of the special but you can order them as part of your kit so you have the complete bundle).

This card uses the Carols of Christmas set and the coordinating thinlits, Card Front Builder. What an easy card to make a bunch of, yet it's still impressive looking. Not a ton of materials needed either. The embossing and gold foil paper makes this a very classy looking card to give and receive. I just used cherry cobbler and gold foil paper for this card. One ink pad, versamark. Some gold embossing powder, and a heat gun. And let's not forget some thinlits and framelits. You can easily make multiples of this card this holiday season.

The ornament stamp was just stamped across the bottom of the framed card several times to give it a complete row of ornaments hanging from the greeting. I started with stamping it on the right hand side and then when I got to the left hand side, I just covered the edge of the frame with a scrap piece of paper so that only two of the stamps from the image would stamp on the cherry cobbler cardstock (because that's all that fit). And it fits perfectly under the greeting that way too. 

This is a picture of the stamp set and the thinlits.  Remember you can get the stamp set for FREE as part of the $70 bundle you get when you take advantage of the $99 kit price, but that's only until Monday, July 31st. Best decision you'll ever make.

Be sure to keep hopping so you won't miss any of the awesome ideas using this great new set.

I have no regrets.
