Here's my card
It's so hot outside that making a Christmas card helped to cool me down (a bit)! I used Birch Press Design's Block Print Starry Night Scene die set. The one color I added to my card is Salvaged Patina distress ink, applied with ink blending brushes. For specific details on how I put together this card, please check out my blog here.
I'll be back later this month with another card.

Here is my card share for today.
For today's card I used the Retro Christmas Tree die and stencil. I did not use the stencil and chose to just add some inking around the edge. The sentiment came from the Holiday Cheer stamps and die set. I added a sheet of distressed gold behind the tree as it has little cut outs and the gold shines through. The ornaments were sponged with colors you would find on a tree. I also added some gold gems at the top of the ornaments. For more information on this card you can visit my blog.
Don't forget to play along you still have a few days left to join us! Tag us @diecutdivas and/or use #diecutdivaschallengeblog when you post on social media.
Have a Terrific Tuesday!
Dawn here today. It’s time for Christmas in July and I’m excited to share a festive card project featuring our fabulous sponsor this month, Waffle Flower.
When I was down at the Tauranga Create and Craft event, I picked up the Waffle Flower Cardinal Duo Christmas die. A card I spotted on the Waffle Flower website sparked the idea for today’s project, and I decided to pair the cardinal with the Waffle Flower Poinsettia Frame die that was already in my stash.
I started with a dark green top-folding card base, then cut the Poinsettia Frame die twice from light green card. Because I only wanted to use the corner sections of the frame, I did a little die-cut surgery and trimmed each one into two parts.
For the details, I cut the separate poinsettias from white
card, the berries from red card, and the flower centres from yellow card. I
also created a white frame using two dies from the Simon Says Stamp A2
Nesting Stitched Rectangles set.
Before assembling everything, I stamped a sentiment from the
Waffle Flower Star Snowflake Sentiment set and heat embossed it in
white. Once the frame was in place, I added the poinsettia frame corners, then
layered on the white flowers, berries, and centres to build up the festive
arrangement.
Next, I die cut the cardinal and used the matching stencils to colour it with Altenew inks. I was just about ready to attach it when I realised I had cut the bird facing the wrong direction! So, back to the die-cutting machine I went. I cut the other cardinal, coloured it up, and this time he was facing exactly the way I wanted.
Of course, that first cardinal wasn’t going to waste, so it led me to create a bonus card.
For this one, I used the other sections of the Poinsettia Frame die that I had cut away for the first card. I die cut the flowers again and added a subtle touch of Pink Crystal ink, then cut the berries from red card and added a few extra green leaves.
I gave the pieces a generous spritz of shimmer spray for a
bit of sparkle, then cut a smaller white frame and added another sentiment from
the Star Snowflake Sentiment set. A few white acrylic paint splatters
finished the background before I added the cardinal. This one was coloured in
slightly lighter shades than the cardinal on the first card, giving the bonus
card its own softer look.
I love when a little crafting mishap turns into a second
project. The Waffle Flower cardinal and poinsettia dies work beautifully
together, and both cards have such a cheerful Christmas-in-July feel. Thanks so
much for stopping by, and I hope this inspires you to join in the festive fun
at Die Cut Divas.

Here is my card-
I decided to make a drinking card for Christmas. I get too stressed by all the hoopla around the holidays, so a beer makes me a little mellower and not a flight risk.
