We Create July Blog Hop Christmas In July

Let's celebrate Christmas in July with the We Create July Blog Hop. This is a fun opportunity to get an early start on your holiday projects as our Design Team members share their projects and ideas to help inspire you.

I love Christmas and would happily create Christmas cards all year round. Today I am creating a lovely design using products from the upcoming One Horse Open Sleigh Suite, which will be available as a new Online Exclusive beginning July 6th. This wonderful suite has beautiful designer series paper, stamp and die bundle and elegant snowflake embellishments to help you create the perfect holiday projects. I chose to keep my design simple, letting the designer series paper do all the work, with the addition of the Copper embossed sentiment and coordinating Copper Snowflakes. This card design has a lovely, peaceful feel to it with a touch of elegance.

This beautiful Christmas card is the definition of clean and simple with just a card base and card front needed to create this design. The heat embossing of the sentiment and the coordinating snowflakes help step it up and give it an elegant feel to it. The lovely scenery of the designer series paper does all the hard work for this card design and transports you to a snowy, Winter Wonderland.

Stamping Inkspiration July Blog Hop Color Challenge

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspiration July Blog Hop and this month we are celebrating Christmas In July with a Color Challenge. We were given the choice of two different color palettes, one for warm wather and one for cold weather, and I decided to choose the cold weather color combination as shown below. It includes Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, Sahara Sand and Early Espresso and we have been challenged to use at least three colors.

For my card design, I decided to focus on a more traditional color combination, so I chose to use Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Cherry Cobbler. I used the Merriest Moments stamp set and coordinating Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder from the new July-December 2022 Mini Catalog and I just love the detail in these stamp images and coordinating dies. The embossing folder creates such a beautiful background and adds wonderful texture to the design.

Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder (item #156385)

This traditional Christmas card design was so much fun to create and really helped me get into the spirit of Christmas in July. The combination of Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Cherry Cobbler are perfect for creating traditional Christmas designs and the Silver embossing and pearls help step it up to the next level. For the poinsettias, I heat embossed the stamped images with Clear embossing powder and layered them using a Stampin' Dimensional to add dimension to the flowers. The leaves have been stamped with Evening Evergreen Classic ink to create the foliage in the background.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects with this color challenge. There are so many wonderful options to explore, whether you choose traditional like I did or something more modern and fun.
