Christmas In July

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at

Crafting For All Seasons, where the theme this time is

Christmas In July

I've used one of the images kindly supplied by our sponsor

Meljen's Caroling Snowmen

They're just so sweet are they not!

I coloured them up using my Sakura Pens, which always make an

appearance for my Christmas Cards! lol

The papers I've used are from Papermania, it was a pack which

came free with a magazine last year if I remember rightly!

I love the colours! I added a sentiment which was left over from 

another project a little gingham ribbon bow.

Hey presto, done in next to no time!

I hope you like it & I hope you can play in the challenge!

Good Morning Crafters! 

I do hope you're all well! 

Another week is nearly over & Christmas isfast approaching!

 That said, I wanted to share this little card with you today!

It's a little gate-fold card & the image I have used is

Merry Christmas from Just Inklined.

I've used this image lots of times as I just love that cheery couple!

Hop on over to Just Inklined & check out all the fabby Christmas images.

There lots of new ones as well as all the old favourites!

Here's a closer look at the lovely couple! All coloured up with 

my usual mix of Flexmarkers & Promarkers.

The papers are Papermania "Noel" from last year.

I still have lots to use up!

I decorated the inside of the card too, I love doing this.

Another little side view!

The little glitter embellishments are foam stickers that I picked up from a bargain bin

 in Tesco at the start of this year or was it last??? They're not as sticky as

they once were, but that's easily remedied!

This card is flat enough to be sent in the post using a normal letter stamp.

Thanks for popping in, hope you liked what you saw!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!

Morning all, it's Thursday & it's time for me to post

my Just Inklined creation.

Here's my card!

I used an Elegant Square card blank  from  Craftwork Cards.

I love this shape!

The images is called Merry Christmas

Such a happy looking couple, don't you think!

I love snowmen & snowladies!

I've coloured them up with Promarkers & Flexmarkers, then cut out with a  

Scalloped Square nestie & used a chalk inkpad on the edges.

The paper is from the Papermania Festive Frolics Pad.

I've had it since last year but still have loads left!

I used some red vellum to matt the image & tore down the edges for added detail.

I also added some dew drop gems from my stash!

I wrapped the vellum & paper with twine & tied a bow.

The sentiment was created on the pc, I used a corner punch to round the ends.

This card is flat enough to go in the UK mail with a normal postage stamp.

Something I've had to think about this year as the cost of postage stamps has rocket up 

& I have rather a lot of Christmas cards to post!

I decorated the inside of the card too!

Could you imagine making an insert to fit this! lol
