Christmas in July Part One

Lb1a

If you are anything like me, you never have enough Christmas cards when you need them. This year I decided to start early with my prep work. So, I choose July 24th as the date of my local event and presented Christmas in July. We had a large group of people attend and enjoyed making the 8 projects offered. This is the first of my 4 cards for the event. I used the boxes from the July Paper Pumpkin kit for the trees. I also used the green yarn as the accent embellishment. The greeting is from my favorite new stamp set and punch from the full line catalog, Thoughtful Banners bundle. Read on for tips for making this card.

Wedding Wishes fancy fold

2016   7 sah july 1

This card was designed for one of my two monthly swaps. Our theme was Fancy Folds. A fancy fold is anything other than a traditional top fold or left fold card. I decided to do an easel fold but I wanted to use the new Detailed Floral framelits to create a lovely edge on two sides of the card. I used the coordinating stamp set for the sentiment on the outside and the greetings in the card. All the flowers just seemed to need a butterfly or two, so I added a large on on the outside and used a tiny one as the "stop" for the easel. Be sure to read more for all the directions to make one of your own.

Swirly Thank You

Somhs july 1

I love a clean, simple card. It is my "go-to" for a swap. I needed to make 17 of these, so I wanted it to have some interest, but I also wanted to be able to complete them in an afternoon. This card has a splash of stamping, some pretty paper, a little ribbon, and a swirl of bling! I think it makes the perfect card. Appropriate for so many occasions, such as birthday, get well, thinking of you, or thank you. Follow the instructions and you could whip up a batch of these cards in no time!

May I say Thank You again?

This soft, feminine feeling card is perfect to say thank you to the ladies in your life who are such a big part of making your life special. This card uses the delicious color combination of Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum, and Blushing Bride. The new ruched ribbon and the dainty butterflies with their spot of bling bring the feminine touch that makes this card sing!

Sweet Sugar Plum and Peekaboo Peach You are Totally Awesome

This week's card uses two of the new In Colors, Sweet Sugar Plum and Peekaboo Peach! They look great together! Add a little Blushing Bride and Basic Black to pop some accent and you have a pretty good looking card! I used the greeting from Grateful Bunch, but this card could easily be a birthday, anniversary, or get well card with another greeting.
