CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Hi everyone! The theme this month for a swap I joined is Christmas in July. Wow, it seems strange making a Christmas card in the middle of the summer in 90 degree heat, but I just love snowmen so it was actually fun.  :)

Here are the products I used to make this months swap card...

SU - Real Red and Garden Green card stock
Strathmore Bristol Smooth White Heavyweight Paper
Hero Arts - Merry Little Christmas Snow Group
Copic - B00
Zig Markers - Various colors

The recipient of my card lives down in Texas where it's even hotter. I'm sure it will seem strange to her while making her swap card too. I also decorated my envelope with a very winter themed design. I wonder what the mail person who delivers it is going to think..... LOL

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Happy 4th of July!!

I don't very often make cards with a patriotic theme, but I really like them! Here are the few things that it took to make this card.

SU - Brilliant Blue and Real Red card stock and ink
Stampabilities - Waving Glory
SU - 1 3/4" circle punch
SU - Starburst punch
Copics - R29, YR24, B29

I've had this wonderful background stamp for years and don't know who the manufacturer of it is. I bought it one year at a stamp convention. I found it in a big bin of unmounted stamps the vendor had. I hope you enjoy this wonderful holiday.

God Bless America!
