Christmas in July Challenge with The Stampsmith



Hi Dreamers!
Time for a new Challenge over at the Stampsmith Challenge blog!  This month we are challenging you to create a project with the theme Christmas in July and as an added element use Summer Colors.  If you use Summer Colors, you name will be added to the drawing twice...so double the chance of winning of a full sheet of Stampsmith rubber!!!   Please use at least one Stampsmith Stamp.  For my Christmas in July Design Team card, I used the image called Butterfly Kisses.  This is a great stamp and I have used it for everything from Christmas, birthday to sympathy cards.


Butterfly Kiss Rubber Stamp


I stamped the image on glossy white CS with black dye ink (Memento).  The main image is layered with wine CS and placed on a coral card base layered with mint green and striped papers.



I thought this image would be so cute paired with the Kissmas sentiment from My Favorite Things.   I stamped the sentiment on the mint green CS and added some aqua ribbon.  And, what would a Christmas card be without some poinsettias??  I glued two to the card front with Fabri-Tac glue.



For the inside, I used one of my favorite Christmas sentiments from Blue Ridge Impressions and repeated the paper layers.





So, jump right in and make your project.  Click over to the Challenge blog and link up your entry and let's see your Christmas in July card!!


And how about a few fun Challenges for my Merry Kissmas card!!??
