Christmas In July - A Create*Craft*Share YouTube Hope Challenge

-
I know.  Who in their right minds is already thinking about Christmas?  I am.  I have such a long Christmas card list that I wanted to get an early start this year.  I set a goal.  Ready?  My goal is to make 10 cards per week until I have enough.  Lets see if I can do it.  Here is this week's card.

For inspiration, I turned a 4X4 card that I found in the current Close to my Heart Idea Book into an A2 sized card. I love the end result!

 

Here's what I used from Close To My Heart:
Christmas Post Stamp Set
Ruby and Black Exclusive Inks
Ruby Cardstock
New England Ivy Cardstock
Colonial White Cardstock
Colonial White Cardbases
Bronze Shimmer Trim
Honeycomb Embossing Folder
Sparkles Brown and Tan Assortment
Foam tape


I also used some other embossing folders to give it some variety.



Do you want to know the best part?  There is a PRIZE being offered with this post.  Check out the video for all the details!  Also check out the Facebook Page here.



Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Love this sweet card and all the little touches of glitter and shine! I didn't see a link to the giveaway or FB page so will check back later but wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the video. I vow every year to start my cards early but am always scrambling last minute. I just never learn!

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today.
