Christmas Reindeer

 Hi there.... Dawn here to share my card for our July challenge . our sponsor is Elizabeth Crafts Design

Our challenge is "Christmas in July"

For my card today, I have used ECD - Reindeer.  

I die cut out all the pieces and then used Copics to colour it in.   It is an adorable die cut.  There is a wreath with it - but I found it quite difficult to work out what went where so decided not to use it.  I found some lovely gold star paper for the background.  I used a Pretty Pink Posh edge die to cut a snow bank and added it over the PP.  I used Gina K Master Layouts 1 to trim the panel down.  I matted it onto black card.  I stamped a sentiment from a magazine freebie.  I love how the little reindeer turned out.  He is just so cute.

Do come and join us at Die Cut Divas with your Christmas projects.

Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) Christmas in July

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Sue here with a card for our Christmas in July challenge. We're sponsored this month by Elizabeth Craft Designs who will be awarding our winner a $25 gift certificate to their store.

Here's my card

I was inspired by the Aurora Borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights. It's definitely a bucket list item for me - to see the Northern Lights in person. I used Elizabeth Craft Designs' Winter Scenery dies. To see how I put this card together, please check out my foleysfriend blog.

Hope you see your Christmas in July creations in our gallery.

Glittery Snowflakes

 Hi there,

Cindy here to share another Christmas In July themed project.  My slimline card features Elizabeth Craft Designs Snowflakes #1692.  I kept it fairly simple, cause I don't want anything to overtake the glittery snowflakes.

I took the image  Beach Hut Holiday - image #158 and added it twice to my card, flipping the second one to be the mirror image.  I did this as I wanted to make a mini slimline card.   I used a Gina K Master Layout to cut out the panel.  I used Prismacolor pencils to colour them huts.  I then used my Scan'n'Cut to die cut the Summer sentiment.  

Do come and share you summer projects with us.

I have jumped on the Glimmer bandwagon! I decided that using the sun rays were perfect to showcase sunflowers, as sunflowers really grow best in the hot, sunny days of summer.

Beach Hut Fun

Hi! It's Sue here. Our current challenge is SUMMER DAYS. What do you think of when you hear "summer days"? I think of relaxing at the beach with sand between my toes. Ahhh - I can almost feel like I'm there. Our sponsor this month is Sheep Ski Designs who is offering our winner their choice of three images from their Etsy store.

Here's my "summer days" card

I used Sheep Ski Designs' Beach Hut Holiday - image #158 which I sized up and printed on 80 lb cardstock with my inkjet printer. I added color with Copic markers and die cut the panel and black mat using Waffle Flower's A2 Layers dies and Additional A2 Layers dies. For a complete list of the many Copic markers I used to add color to the image, please check out my foleysfriend blog.

We'd love to see how you're inspired by "summer days"!
