Christmas in July: Comfort and Joy

Happy Saturday! I hope you had a good week and have plans for some rest, relaxation and stamping this weekend!

It's time for another Tri-City Stampers Blog Hop and this month we are featuring Christmas in July. check out this quick and easy Christmas card I designed:

Can you guess where that background paper came from? No, I didn't create it myself and it is from a current DSP pack from the Annual Catalogue. Give up? It is the Delightful Daisy DSP and it is just perfect for a snowy holiday card! I simply added some snowflakes I die-cut using the Seasonal Layers Thinlits to complete my snowy scene.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Pines stamp set and is heat embossed in silver, die-cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits, and matted on a silver foil card stock square (cut with the Layering Squares Framelits). For extra shimmer I added some 3/8" Metallic Edged Ribbon in silver and some Silver Mini Sequin Trim. So quick, so easy, and perfect for mass-production!

On the inside I stamped the Whisper White card stock base using another sentiment from the Christmas Pines set and added some snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set using Tranquil Tide ink.
