Ho ho ho...

July is almost gone so I am pushing to get my Christmas in July card making done.

I spent some time coloring a few digi stamps from Sassy Cheryl's 
and put them on a card this morning.

This one I will be entering into Sugar Creek Hollow's 


I colored all three Sassy Cheryl stamps with my Spectrum Noir markers.

The holly stamps in the corners are a stamp I carved this morning.

Here is a close up of my stamp and the inside below...

I added a little bit of glitter glue to Santa's coat and hat trim.

I also added some glitter glue for the holly berries.

Here is another card...


The background was simply dotted with a green & red marker 
and some glitter glue.


I also glitter glued the ornament that Santa is holding, the Christmas tree trim, 
and the edge of the pop dotted piece.

I sprayed the card with pink taffy glimmer mist and I love how it matched so well with the coloring I did.

Merry Christmas in July everyone!

Thank you for visiting my site and admiring my teacup!! I thought I'd return the favor and, wow!, there is much to love here... the pink Santa card, the SEASHELLS (going right to the top of my to-do list),the "Create" post and book. You mention challenges I was unaware of so I think I'll subscribe and find out more. Blessings and Hugs!!

Ahhh Carol I love your cards, we can't stop now or we won't get finished by Christmas. I've always tried to make a different card for everyone but this year I think I'll choose 4 or 5 designs and go with them. Anyway, your cards are fantastic and thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Starr

Carol Salisbury said...

Starr, I always tell myself to do just a couple of design's every year and I still end up doing something different for everybody! I hope you have better success with that!
Thanks for the love!
