Hi there, hope your weekend is off to a good start. As I start to write this post knowing what I want to say, I can close my eyes and picture my brother rolling his.
Not sure about you, but I’m enjoying watching all the Christmas in July movies right now, even though I seen them numerous time. Watching all these movies gave me inspiration for my card today and since it’s a Designer’s Choice challenge – thought why not make 2 cards – a Christmas theme one and Summer themed one!
Today’s card is for the Paper Craft Crew Challenge – Designer’s Choice, you can check out their blog here.
My first post sharing a Christmas card in 2019 and I’m using the First Frost stamp set and coordinating Frosted Bouquet Dies. The card base & sentiment stamping in Mossy Meadow, with mats of Copper Foil Sheets. The main stamped images are in Merry Merlot and I’ve added some die cuts in Copper Foil and Rhinestones for added holiday bling. The box is using twine from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo pack and adhered with a rolled up Mini Glue Dot.
For the inside of the holiday version of the card I’ve stamped the tall greenery in Mossy Meadow and stamped a few Merry Merlot roses along with the sentiment ‘Wishing you all the best’ near the top.
For this version of the card, since a designer’s choice – I’ve used the bright & cheerful colors Pineapple Punch, Granny Apple Green & Mango Melody. The card base was stamped tone on tone for added interest on this card. The main stamped images are Mango Melody and Pineapple Punch Grosgrain Ribbon and some enamel dots add just the right amount of bling. This would make a great card to send someone in the warm months to let them know you are thinking of them.
For the inside I’ve stamped the two roses at the bottom left corner with Mango Melody for added interest.
So now the question is, what card should I post on the Paper Craft Crew blog page?
