Welcome to Team Stamp It’s July Blog Hop! Thanks so much for joining us. This month, we focus on Christmas in July. Prepare to be inspired to get started on your holiday crafting. Be sure to visit each blog on the hop and leave a comment. You could win a Birthday Sparkle card kit.
When it comes to Christmas and holiday cards, some prefer the traditional colors of green and red, while others prefer something more non-traditional. These colors could include navy, purple, pink, crumb cake, and even black. I’m good with either!
Today, I share a Christmas card sporting the non-traditional colors of Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry Slush. What do you think?
For the inside, I added a sentiment from the Jolly Holly stamp set (Online Exclusive) and a piece of Strawberry Slush foil from the Flower Garden Foils 12 x 12 Specialty Paper.
Measurements and Details
Please enjoy these details to help you create this card at home:
Pretty in Pink Cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Secret Sea Cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4, embossed with the Pattern of Friendship Die
Letters from the Party Alphabet Dies cut cut from the Cloud Cover and Pretty in Pink sheets of the Flower Garden Foils 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper
Strawberry Slush 3/8-inch Faux Linen Ribbon
