Christmas in July 2

Here is another of the Christmas cards that I will be teaching. Start by stamping a sentiment on the bottom of the front of the card..

Next step is to make the corner fold. A trimmer is used to cut along the bottom and one side of the square shape.

Then the corner is folded over to set up the focal corner fold for the card.

A coordinating card stock is applied to both the square shape that was just made and the inside of the card. Then stamp with your choice of images and greetings.

Christmas in July

The weather is hot here but I am thinking Christmas already! I am actually getting ready to teach some classes for some friends who want to make their own Christmas Cards this year.

This card was made using Stampin Up Supplies. The "O" of JOY is made using one of the Holiday ornament framelets. I actually used my Cricut machine to make the "J" and the "Y". (I think Stampin

up has letter dies for this but I don't own them.)

Bakers Twine was wrapped around the top of the ornament and a little piece of the glitter paper used to make the letters was attached to the back of the red card stock.

I used 3 different washi tapes on a scrap of white card stock make the design on the ornament.

Cone flower cards




This is combining my two favorite past times. Card making and gardening! The dies to make this flowers are from Dee's Distinctively dies. I purchased these at Ecstasy Crafts. I have many shades of these flowers in my garden.
