12 Days of Christmas in July Day 8

Can you believe July is nearly over? Where has this month gone?? I want to slow time down and enjoy my summer holidays...they are flying by too quickly!
Today I have another holiday project for you. This is one that I CASE'd from Leanne Pugliese, as it was chosen from Pinterest by the host of a private event I am doing next week. I had to make a few adjustments to allow for mass-production...

Isn't that little reindeer cute? I know you've seen him before on a project I showed you last week, but I just can't get enough of him! Here I used some A Little Foxy DSP for the background, matted on Watermelon Wonder card stock and then mounted on a Pool Part card base. The centre panel is Whisper White card stock, embossed with the Softly Falling TIEF and, again, matted on Watermelon Wonder.

The tree is die-cut using the Perfect Pines Framelits from Pool Party card stock. I sponged on a hint of Whisper White Craft ink around the edges to give it a frosted look. The little reindeer, from the Foxy Friends stamp set, is stamped in Smoky Slate ink and punched with the Fox Builder punch. The little nose is punch from scrap Watermelon Wonder card stock. The die-cut sentiment is done using the Christmas Greetings Thinlits from Watermelon Wonder card stock. The stamped sentiment is from the Holly Jolly Greeting set and is stamped in Whisper White Craft ink on Watermelon Wonder card stock. The only hint of embellishment here is the little silver glimmer punched star.

On the inside I added a panel of Whisper White card stock on which I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Pines set in Basic Gray and added a few little leaves from the Foxy Friends set in Pool Party ink.

I love the non-traditional colours on this card...so fresh and fun!

12 Days of Christmas in July Day 7

Happy Wednesday...half-way to the weekend...and it is a long weekend here! Yesterday we demonstrators got our first peek at the upcoming Holiday Catalogue and let me tell you, I am IN LOVE with what we saw! Such an adorable suite of products...the wheels are already spinning with project ideas! We get to see more today...can't wait!
I hope you enjoyed yesterday's cute project featuring the Snow Place stamp set, because I have another one today! This is another fun-fold card that I absolutely adore. Check it out...

Now, the front is pretty cute, right? But wait for the inside!

This is a gatefold shutter card...that cute little penguin peeks out as you open the card. So stinkin' cute! For a fabulous tutorial on this fun fold be sure to check out Sandi MacIver's video.
For my project, the card base and shutters are constructed of Real Red card stock. I used some This Christmas Specialty DSP to layer on the front and inside of the card. When I die-cut the peekaboo circle for the inside panel I saved it and used it for the belly band on the front.

I layered the die-cut DSP circle on a slightly larger Real Red scalloped circle, cut with the Layering Circles Framelits. I added some Whisper White Mini Pompom trim around it...I love the way it looks! The little penguin is die-cut using the Snow Friends Framelits.

On the inside I added some snowflakes punched from Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper with the Snow Flurry punch as well as some sequins. The sentiment label is die-cut using the Project Life Cards and Labels framelits.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

12 Days of Christmas in July Day 6

Are you tired of Christmas cards yet? I sure hope not, because I've got SIX more days worth of fun projects to share with you! Today's project is a fun-fold card...

How cute is that?? I think this is my favourite project yet! Know what's even more fabulous? It folds flat to fit into a standard medium envelope. The base of the card is a pyramid card. I did another one of these a couple of months ago for a class...you can see it HERE. For this one I made my pyramid base using three 4" squares of Garden Green card stock. The DSP is from the This Christmas Specialty DSP pack.

The snowmen are from the Snow Place set and are stamped on Whisper White card stock using Basic Black ink. I used Real Red for the little bow tie and to colour the band on the top hat. I coloured the carrot noses with a Pumpkin Pie marker. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Pines set and is also stamped in Real Red. I punched it using the 1-1/4" circle punch and then layered it on a 1-3/8" Real Red circle. The star is punched using the medium star punch from gold glimmer paper. The only embellishment is that fun Whisper White Mini Pompom Trim...SO fun!

Have a super Tuesday...today is our first sneak peek of the upcoming Holiday Catalogue...SO excited!
