It's Christmas in July!

Welcome to the Christmas in July Card Blog Hop!

If you have arrived here from An'Jenic http://anjenicgibson.blogspot.com/
you are in the right place.

The hop started at Ashley - http://thebloghopprincess.blogspot.com and if you get lost anywhere along the way the full line-up will be posted there as well as the blog candy information.

Please have fun hopping the complete line-up for some wonderful ideas and chances to win some candy.

I decided to make 2 very simple cards that could be duplicated easily.

The first was done with a Tim Holtz Sizzix Embossing folder that reads Merry Christmas.  I used some Coredinations Whitewash Cardstock backed in green.  I sanded that and mounted it on some red cardstock which I then mounted on a 5x7 card which was edged with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Evergreen Bough.


My next card was done the same way using a Darice embossing folder that reads Peace on Earth.  For this card I used Coredinations Whitewash cardstock backed in blue.  I sanded it and mounted it on some SEI patterned paper and then mounted this on a 5x7 card that was edged with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Salty Ocean.


Your next stop on the hop is:  Cori - http://createdbycori.blogspot.com

I hope that you have enjoyed my projects and all those along the way and that you will be on the way to creating some beautiful cards for this Christmas using some of the ideas you have found on this hop.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!  Merry Christmas!

  22. Great technique to use to make a production line and do a large volume.

  23. Both of these cards are perfect! They seem like they would be easy to mass produce, but at the same time, they're both very elegant! I love the face that you used Coordinations, and then sanded the embossing to bring out the color. Brilliant!
