CardzTV "Christmas in July Challenge"

Today I was surfing through my favorite YouTube channels and watched Mary’s wonderful video titled “Christmas In July Challenge and Another Sneak Peek!!”  She is at CardzTV  http://www.cardztv.blogspot.com/ and I just love, love, love her card ideas and stamps that she has.

The challenge was to make a Christmas card that either had a snowman or a snowflake on it, I couldn’t decide and so I put both on my card today J

• ·         This card is a 5”x7” base
• ·         1” strips of scrap paper added to a patterned piece- then sewed together (I need practice at that)
• ·         Cut and embossed the scalloped oval from the Spellbinders Nestabilities “lacy ovals” (largest size)
• ·         Stamped and embossed snowman and snowflakes using VersaMark and white detailed embossing powder from Recollections.
• ·         Snowman and snowflakes are from the Tis the Season stamp set by Fiskars  http://www2.fiskars.com/Products/Crafting/Stamping/Clear-Stamps/8-x-8/8-x8-Clear-Stamps-Tis-the-Season
• ·         The Merry Christmas stamp came from the Holiday Hoopla stamp set by Fiskars and cut out at a 1” strip added to the bottom of the card.  http://www2.fiskars.com/Products/Crafting/Stamping/Simple-Stick-Rubber-Stamps/Holiday-Hooplah-Simple-Stick-Rubber-Stamps-4-x-8
• ·         I found a few embellishments in my stash and surprise… a card finally appeared!  (picture was taken from my iphone)

Have fun surfing all of the wonderful cards other crafty people have put together for this challenge and have a super day.  

Extra card:  quilled snowflake!
