Christmas in July card tutorial


Hi everyone!  Sandee here with a little card to share with you this Monday morning!  I really appreciate you stopping by to take a peek!  I have been working on my Christmas cards all year long, making between 5-10 cards per month!  When Christmas gets close, I will be ready! 

Here are the supplies I used to create this card:

BoBunny Snowfall Designer paper pack
Tattered Angels stamped chipboard
Copic Markers
Tim Holtz Antique Linen distress ink
Memento Brown ink
Corner Rounder
Hemp Twine
Clear Rhinestones
Beacon 3-in-1 Glue

I began my card by cutting my card base from Ga Pacific White card stock and scoring it with my Scor-Buddy for the fold.  
This card measures 4 1/2 by 4 1/2.  I chose two sheets of the designer paper, then cut and adhered them to the card base.  I used my corner rounder on the corners and then sponged distress ink on all edges.  Next I gathered my chipboard pieces.
 I colored in the scarf and nose with copic markers and sponged the edges of all pieces with the distress ink.  Before gluing the chipboard down I stamped the sentiment with the help of my Stamp-a-ma-jig.  I glued the snowman and snowflakes down with the Beacon glue. 
I free hand cut the banner, gluing each triangle to the twine and then gluing it down to the snowman. 
Then I just added a little bling to the snowflakes, scarf and on the banner to finish the card! 

Thanks so much for visiting!  Hope you have a wonderful week!

Hi Sandee, I just love your card! I like anything primitive and love how you sponged the snowman!! I had to zoom in for a closer look because the scarf looks so real! The whole design is cohesive, a real work of art! I'm going to look for that chipboard!

A party is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation, or recreation. A party will typically feature food and beverages, and often music and dancing as well. Thanks.

However, crossing arms can be interpreted as a sign of hostility. Facial expression, body language and eye contact reflect emotions and interest level. A frown, slouching and lowered eye contact suggests disinterest, while smiling and an exuberant attitude is a sign of welcome. Thanks.
