Inspired Stamps: Christmas in July part two!

This week the Inspired Stamps Design Team made Christmas cards. I could hardly wait to ink up my Winter Ruth stamp set! Fun Gaby fact: Winter Ruth was the first stamp set I ever purchased from Inspired Stamps. :) I heart her so much so, that when I thought I had lost my original set, I purchased another. Well, wouldn't you know ...I found it the day before the new one came in the mail. lol So I might have a giveaway in September when it cools off a tad. :) Her interchangeable hands are so awesome! I even made a Valentine's day card earlier this year. Just an adorable set!

GSS: Christmas in July, My Favorite Things GIVEAWAY!!!

Here's my interactive Christmas card with one of the out takes from last year's Christmas card pictures. Haha, so don't mind my husband's scowl too much, Pluto (our cat) was over it and digging his claws into my husband. So my favorite thing this year has to be Lawn Fawn, but when isn't it? Ginger Snap Scraps asked us if we'd like to give away an item from our favorites list and I was happy to oblige! I am giving away the all new Lawn Fawn- Winter Owl stamp set once it comes into the Ginger Snap Scrap's store!

For this card I made a little door by embossing my Hero Art's Woodgrain stamp with clear embossing powder and going over it with distress inks. I colored the wreath from the Lawn Fawn Bows and Holly set with Copics and put stickles on the ribbon parts. Once stickles were dry, I cut it out and adhered to the door. Then added a little piece of bling to the center of the bow. I cut a separate frame for around the door in red and embossed it in my Cuttlebug with Swiss Dots. Once everything was adhered, dry and in place I added the photo. I cut another card base and lined the inside of the card and added the Merry Christmas Sentiment on a banner in Kraft.

Inspired Stamps: Christmas in July Tag Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome! You should have came to my blog from the lovely: Kary!

Happy hopping Thursday, bloggers! Today I hope you'll come hop along with us for a very merry Christmas in July tag hop with the Inspired Stamps Design Team! I cut my tag on my Silhouette and distressed it with distress ink. I colored up HLO: Christmas Girl with Copics and added some red stickles and a wee bit of snow making pen to her collar. Then I adhered her to the tag with pop dots. The bottom is a chipboard piece from American Crafts with the sentiment that comes with the HLO stamp layered on top.

Your next stop on the hop is to the lovely Jamie. Just click her name to take you directly to her blog!
