Christmas in July!


Hi all!

I've been a very bad girl. I haven't had a crafty second it seems these past few weeks. I hope to get "back in the swing of things" this next week.......then I'm off again for a week at the beach. :) Summer is SOOOO busy around here.

Anyway, I was supposed to have a CAS Christmas card loaded to my blog on the 5th. As you can see that didn't happen. I was out of town....again. So, to our wonderful hostess Patty, in the Crafty Gals group, I am so, so sorry I'm late. Here it is though....two cards for the challenge!!!! :)

With my first card I used the new Lacy & Lovely set from SU! I love circles you know, so that set was a must have for my first order out of the new catalog. :) I cut the circles with my Spellbinders and the sentiment (Christmas Greetings SU! set) is cut with the deckled rectangles Spellbinders die.

My second CAS Christmas card for Patty's challenge.
I used the For the Birds set from SU! (I love that set!!!). I ink pad, water-colored the image. The background paper is from Paper Studio. I distressed the newsprint paper and added some lace and twine.

The second card also goes along with the Twisted Tuesday Challenge this week. To make a vintage style card with stripes. :) Check it out! You have until Sunday night to enter!

Patty!!! Thank you so much for a great challenge :)
Please be sure and visit my other Crafty Gal Sisters. Their blogs can be found in my right sidebar.

Have a great day!

Until next time...
Blessings...

  6. I really like the stamp on the first card. The texture grabbed my attention too. Aren't you smart to start your Christmas cards!!!

  7. Beautiful cards!! I think I like the second one the best, but only because I love what you did with that "newsprint" background paper.
