Day 8 of 12 Days of Christmas in July Shabby Pink Church Card for Gypsy Soul

Hello there friends and crafty peeps! I’m celebrating day 8 of our 12 Days of Christmas in July series on my channel and today is the day I get to share the project for Gypsy Soul! I really love how this card turned out. Maybe my favorite for this whole month of Christmas in July!

 

This dreamy color combination works so well with the gently altered chipboard.

I used the House Jewelry and finished it to resemble a sweet little country church.

The Doodle Set makes for fine floral flourishes when layered with pretty flowers and pine cones.

These chippies were finished simply with flat white acrylic paint then topped off with a bit of Stickles to add sparkle.

The leaf Medallion works in place of a doily and frames the arrangement with extra dimension.

I’ve mixed in a few die cut paper pieces with the chippies to fill in this corner. A little faux snow is the perfect finishing detail.

Snowman Greeting Card Day 6 of 12 Days of Christmas in July RRR Blog Hop

Well hello there friends and crafty peeps! Today is not only day 6 of our 12 Days of Christmas in July tutorial series on Youtube but also Blog Hop day huzzah!

The DT from Really Reasonable Ribbon are sharing the projects we created with the July Ribbon Club Assortment.

You should be coming to me from my dear friend Gloria. If you’re just joining in you’ll want to head on over to the  RRR blog to start at the beginning.

In keeping with our Christmas in July theme my challenge was to make a holiday card from this lovely summer selection. Problem solved…I”ll make a snowman card!

Isn’t that the sweetest snowman????? I just want to give him a big hug. Except snow is cold and I hate cold lol.

There’s a combination of flowers for Wild Orchid Craft here layered with made by me flowers and altered chipboard snowflakes.

To coordinate with the beautiful blue ribbon I’ve added a silver finish to this chipboard frame.

Adding a double layer of matting helps to keep the patterns separate and brighten up the dark papers.

A few smaller flowers,  metal charms, and pearly embellishments are the perfect details to finish this card.

Please enjoy this video tutorial I’ve prepared on how this card is created….

Christmas Envelope Flip Book with Graphic 45 day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas in July

Are you ready for day 4 of our 12 Days of Christmas series on YouTube? I know I am having so much fun bringing you a tutorial everyday! As promised in the previous video I’m sharing my process of making an Envelope flip book using Graphic 45’s  Twas the Night Before Christmas. It’s not a “new” collection but it is a classic and I still love it as much as the day I got it!

I used the 8 x 8 paper pad which is really the perfect size for smaller mini albums as well as the chipboard and tags and pockets to create this book. Of course I’ve added some flowers and ribbon trim and sequins.

Pockets and tags are a must for minis. And adding tip ins really maximizes the real estate for pictures.

The die cut pieces and post cards are really a great place to add journaling.

Always cover the back for a nice finished look.

Please enjoy this process video on how I created this envelope flip book….

Merry Christmas Fur Friend Greeting Card Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas in July

Okay friends and neighbors we’re on day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas in July YouTube videos!  This is a personal best record for me lol. Today’s project is a great way to take boxed cards up a notch.

I created this with the image from a boxed card and added all the layers to make it super festive!

Of course for a handmade card you’ll want to embellish with ribbons and trims and jingle bells!

Spacers between the layers adds depth and the white die cut doily brightens it up and separates the busy patterns. Last but not least is little sparkly stars to coordinate with the bells.

Christmas Pocket with Tags with Video Tutorial

Hey there friends and crafty peeps! Today is the first day of our 12 Days of Christmas in July video tutorials on our youtube channel!  I’m really excited as we have a special intro created  for this series. I created the image and the extra fabulous tech hubby created the snow graphic and added music to make it very fun and festive!

Our first project is a pretty pocket with tags….

I have used my beloved piece of buffalo check for this pocket and although I am sad to not have the paper anymore I can’t think of a better project to use it on.

Of course I’m going to add flowers and ribbons and trims!

Then filled the pocket with tags printed from our very own Winter Fun Christmas Tags printable!
