Sailboat for a Non-Traditional Christmas Card

G’Day Friends,

It’s Week 2 of sharing our Christmas in July all month long.  This is where Robbie & myself will be sharing Christmas Cards with you throughout the month of July!

Pop over to check out what Robbie has created today.

Once again, I took a good look at my stamps to see what I could use & the Sailboat Builder Punch popped into my head – not that it’s a stamp, mind you.

I then knew I wanted to use our Sponge Daubers so out they come along with Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie Inks.  Real nautical colours, right?  Plus, I think they go well with the piece of Bright & Beautiful DSP I had selected.

The sentiment is from the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set while the seagull is from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set.  To cover up my booboos, I added Silver Festive Pearls which I think help turn it more into a Non-Traditional Christmas Card.

July Stamp n’ Hop Blog Hop with Zoo Crew DSP

G’Day Friends,

Welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop July Blog Hop where we are showcasing all the little animals available in the Annual Catalogue.  It was a hard choice for me.

If you have just come from Mo’s blog, welcome.

I cheated a little bit today as I’ve gone with the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.  Have you seen it?  It’s full of gorgeous little fun animals who are doing all sorts of fun things.  I went with the cute little moose ballerina.

The tags have been die cut with the Something Fancy Dies with Basic White & Lemon Lolly Cardstock before a piece of the Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon was threaded through the top & a small bow tied in place.

The sentiment is from the Something Fancy Stamp Set, stamped direct onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock, die cut with the shape from the Something Fancy Dies before being adhered to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The card was finished off with 3 x Lemon Lime Twist Tinsel Gems.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  Next up is Annette.

Christmas in July with Nature’s Prints

G’Day Friends,

Can you believe our first week of sharing Christmas in July is at an end.  Where did that time go?

For today’s card I decided to try a very traditional Christmas card with a red & green theme BUT with a sentiment that will cover all occasions.

Be sure to pop over to check out what Robbie has created today.

If you don’t have a lot of Christmas sets like me – well, none really – then be sure to relook at what you have & see what you can come up with.  You will be surprised what may pop into your mind.

I decided to play with Nature’s Prints for today’s card.  I think all the images are perfect for Christmas.  Watch this space lol!

The sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set.

Once the Gold Festive Pearls were added to the card, they changed the whole appearance & instantly looked more like a Christmas Card.  The little bit of Gold & Very Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon set it off perfectly.

Christmas Baubles with Very Best Occasions

G’Day Friends,

I hope you have been enjoying our creations for our Christmas in July.  Each Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday throughout July, Robbie & myself will be sharing Christmas cards with you here on our blogs & YouTube Channels.  There is also a PDF Tutorial which you can find below.

Click HERE to check out Robbie’s creation today.

I don’t have a lot of Christmas stuff at the moment so I had to really have a good look at how I was going to create today’s card.  It’s amazing what springs to mind when looking at your product with a new set of eyes, so to speak

The “Baubles” have been created with the Stylish Shapes Dies which now that I’ve done them, the ideas are popping into my head.  You will be seeing a little more of this type of card in the future, especially Christmas cards.

The sentiment is from the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set which only part of the sentiment was used.  This was done by colouring a small amount with the Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker.  Another way of making your Stamp Sets stretch even further.
