Christmas in July Card Recipe
I know it is July and Christmas is 5 months away, but judging how quickly time is flying by, Christmas will be here before we know it! I found this snowman in the Paper Shelter Shop and thought he looked like a lot of fun. I decided to go with colors that aren't traditionally Christmas, but it is Christmas in July so I figured I could get away with some creative liberties. LOL.
As always, I printed this digi from Word. I colored the snowman with some Copic Markers and I am quite pleased with the colors I chose. The 'merry' word die is from Lawn Fawn and cut out in card stock that coordinates with the green in his scarf and hat. I stamped Christmas using a stamp from Hero Arts (I cut the stamp between Merry and Christmas - crazy I know) and stamped it in a purple from Hero Arts that coordinated with the purple in his scarf as well. The snow was embellished with clear Nuvo Drops. I matted the card front with purple card stock and there you have it.
Here are some affiliate links for products I used for this card. No cost to you, but I get a small commission if you purchase a product through this link:
