Christmas in July

It's been so hot here lately that it's got me thinking about cooler times - like winter - which lead me to think about Christmas. It just so happens that the Friday Mashup this week was to make a card for Christmas or to make a card and decorate the inside or mash the two of those together and make a Christmas card and decorate the inside which is exactly what I did!

I used a base of Always Artichoke card stock and layered some  Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper on top of that. I used the Adorning Edgelets  and  Adorning Accents Embossing Folders  on the Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla  piece of DSP. I then tied on some ivory colored lace trim that I had. I then used the Bells and Boughs Stamp Set with some Staz-on Black Ink to stamp the bell and merry Christmas on a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock. I used a Blender Pen and my ink pads in Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, and More Mustard to color in the image. I then layered that on some Cherry Cobbler card stock and then on to some Always Artichoke Card Stock.

 

For the inside of the card I used some Cherry Cobbler card stock  to mat a piece of Very Vanilla card stock. Again, I used the  Adorning Edgelets  and  Adorning Accents Embossing Folders  on the Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla  piece of DSP. I also layered a small strip of DSP from the Deck the Halls DSP on to that for a little more detail and color. 

Here is a link to the challenge over at Friday Mashup. 

I hope you enjoyed my card. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Please remember to leave a comment!

Happy Stamping!
