Christmas in July First Cards with Gorgeous Designer Series Papers

 

Hi Everyone,

Happy July, well Christmas in July to be exact. With the hot and scorching temperatures across our United States, it's a refreshing time for sharing some holiday cheer. With the release of the new Online Exclusives, there are many new holiday products to choose from to get your holiday crafting started.

This first card I created uses the Season of Gold and Green Suite. There are two stunning Specialty Designer papers and two bundles. The Golden Greenery Bundle and Greetings of the Seasons bundle. 

I love the stunning Graceful Greenery Vellum! The designs and colors are so beautiful. What's even better, is that several of the dies fit the images on the vellum.

The Golden Greenery Dies also cut out some of the images in the Season of Green and Gold 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Paper. I love the way Stampin' Up! designs their papers. It makes projects look so artistic without so much work. 

This next card I created focuses on the Green and Gold 12" x 12" Specialty Paper. I was using card supplies from past classes and this card created a more vintage "pink" and green card. I love it!

I had to fussy cut the bells with the bow, but used the dies to die-cut the other two bells. I also wanted to tone down the brightness of the Bubble Bath piece, so I used a piece of the Graceful Greenery Vellum to lay over it. I love the look of it. 

You may have noticed the shimmer on the bells. I shared a technique during my Facebook Live Stream on Wednesday evening. You can check it out. I love the antique look of the bells.

Thanks so much for stopping in to cool off from the summer heat and share in my first Christmas in July project. You can check out another on Saturday for my Stampin' Saturday YouTube video. Be sure to check out all the promotions that just began. You will love what's happening.
