Christmas Friends Shaker Tag

Well helloooo there Paper Peeps. Ginny here with another installment of Christmas in July and this time I’m using a garden full of flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon along with trims of course.

This is just so cheerful and sweet. I stamped and colored those little images. I do love to color.

Did I mention this is a shaker tag? I’m slightly obsessed with them right now.  Inside are coordinating sequins and Shaved Ice. These little cuties were a bit lost on the busy background pattern so layered in a bit of a snowy border hill for them to stand on.

 

So. Many. Flowers. Isn’t the burlap trim a wonderful texture behind the snowflake printed satin?

I added a bit of tinsel trim for extra sparkle and included a twine loop to hang.

Shabby Chic Christmas Snow Angel

Hey there peeps! I can’t believes I’m this far into Christmas in July  and haven’t created a shabby chic card until now. Must be the heat lol. I’m about to remedy the situation now and share this oh so light and dreamy card with a snow angel.

Snow Angel Shabby Chic Christmas Greeting Card

I’m layering gray and white with the lightest blush pink to create  a creamy color palate.

This charming little snow angel is from the Winter Wishes collection from BoBunny. I’ve given her coat a nice layer of Sugar Glitter Paste so she looks like she’s out in the fresh snow.

These chippies were altered with mermaid tail embossing powder and heat set to look a bit like glass glitter.

Gorgeous flowers from Petaloo with a glittery finish to compliment the frosty effect.

Layering the tiny tree die cuts from the paper collection and topping them off with a nice sprinkling of pearls. This chipboard sentiment has a printed snowflake and a blingy accent.

Last but not least….I’ve dabbed a fair bit of the Sugar Glitter Paste on the edges of the papers and tucked in a sweet little bow of seam binding and loops of twine.

Pirate Graduation Card

Hey Peeps! We’re starting a new Anything Goes with Ribbon or Trim Challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Okay. I’m just gonna say it. This may be the coolest graduation card ever. At the least it’s the coolest one I have ever made. This card was gifted to an awesome young man who is a friend of our youngest Son and a fellow Boy Scout. We are super proud of him. He has a very bright future I’m sure  : ) Well done Zachery!!!

Did I mention it’s a shaker? And did I mention that I die cut and embossed those stars with a shiny silver finish? That’s how you an tell how much I like this young man.

I wanted the Pirate P to be inside the shaker…but I didn’t want it to get turned over or stuck in a carner so it’s secured in place with fishing line.

That’s one cool dude! we really have great school colors. Easy to find and work with and photograph.

Now it’s your turn to create an Anything Goes project and link up with us to play along.

Wishing all of you a happy and productive day : ) G

Card Trio for Christmas in July

Well hello there Peeps! I’m back to share more cards for Christmas in July. I know I know…I wanted to share everyday…….but it’s just been boiling hot here and I’ve not been in the mood to write posts. I have been creating the cards though so today I’ll be sharing 3 to help me get caught up a bit.

Baby it’s Cold Outside Greeting Card

Isn’t that cheeky of me? Posting an it’s cold out side when it’s actually super hot and humid?  Brown and blues are a very nontraditional color scheme…but I just love it. I think it’s warm and woodsy. I’ve added pretty ribbon and flowers and sequins and the fabulous gold striped washi tape.

This card is just too sweet. I mean anything with a gingham print papers and doilies is gonna be good right?

December Ice Skates Greeting Card

I’m basically obsessed with aqua and red together even on Christmas cards. Also I’ve got some new dies to create picture frames so you should be expecting to see them on everything from here on out because I love them so much. I’m layering stickers with flowers here and I quite like it : )

Okay that’s a little help to get me caught up…..be on the look out for more Christmas in July projects while  I work through the rest.

Making Spirits Bright Shaker Card w/Tutorial

Hello there Paper Peeps!  Well I’m still in full swing of my Christmas in July. I’ve got more retro vibe today with this non-traditional mix of colors. And it’s a shaker card!!!

Making Spirits Bright Christmas Shaker Card

 

Isn’t this just super fabby? I love that little car so much it was the inspiration for this project.

I’m obsessed lately with layering the chippies to create very unique and one of a kind frames and embellishments.

I am also obsessed with shaker cards.  There I said it. But then you all already knew that right? LOL

I chose very festive patterns for this fun card to coordinate with the tiny tree topped car,

Here’s how I altered the chipboard…

1. Thoroughly  wipe down the chippies to prepare them for finishing. 2. Each piece was given a base coat of flat white acrylic paint and allowed to dry. 3. The Bead Strand pieces were painted in bright cherry red acrylic paint. 4. The snowflakes were given a coat of sparkly embossing powder and heat set. The Bead Strand pieces were topped with a layer of Stickles.

Okay that’s all for me. Wishing you all a merry and bright July : ) G

Retro Christmas in July Deluxe Creativity Kit and Projects

HoHoHo Peeps! Yes I’m sharing more fun and festive Christmas in July projects. And this time a Creativity Kit. Because I am obsessed with kits. I just love to open the package and sort out all the fabulous paper pretties and embellies. Of course I took one for myself because I’m a cheeky little elf lol. See what I did there?  Okay too much holiday humor. I put myself in the mindset of CAS cards this time and didn’t go overboard with all the extras on the finished projects. In fact…this time I only added cardstock to what was already included in the kit. So you could make these cards too…just as they are shown. Quick to create and easy to mail. And I was able to get 10 A2 sized cards from this kit. Naturally I added paper doilies, colorful clips, star shaped sequins, twine , and flowers to the kit so you can play with them too.

Retro Christmas Deluxe Creativity Kit 2017

Of course you can go overboard and incorporate some jingle bells and snowflakes and chippies….but they look pretty great just as they are!

Check out this Retro Christmas Deluxe Creativity Kit 2017……

So. Many. Pieces.

Okay that’s all for me. Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Beautiful Bicycle Greeting Card

Hello lovely Peeps! Just dropping in with a card I created with the Petal Lane collection from BoBunny.

I love this color combination. It’s a mashup of soft and feminine with bold and graphic.

I started with the journal cut apart and layered on a fussy cut bicycle image. With spacers of course….cause that what I do lol.

Super gorgeous Petaloo flowers in coordinating colors. I’ve tucked a few sugared berries in for a bit of sparkle.

Soft pink ribbon with polka dots was the obvious choice here as well as a matching eyelet and twine.

An itty bitty charm is nestled into the flowers and has a clear planner sticker inside.  Last but not least a die cut doily in crisp white and a chipboard sentiment.
