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.

SYC: Twine

This month the SYC challenge is to make a project using some form of twine. I used some May Arts Jute string and tied two bows. One bow in the tag's hole and another at the top around the black Postagram logo. The supply list is below, though two of the papers are "vintage" in the scrapbooking world, so I wasn't able to link them. This is really a layout that is made up of a lot of layered scraps, including the two die cuts. I had them laying on my desk for a quite a while, so I finally gave them a forever home. :)

*May Arts NATURAL Twine String Burlap	*American Tag ALTERED ART TAG SET Paper Art Collage 21001 Ticket Tags Label Sale	Distress Inks	Ink Blending Tool	Bazzill Kraft	*American Crafts Dear Lizzy NEOPOLITAN 6 x 6 Paper Pad	*American Crafts Amy Tangerine SHAPED PAPER CLIPS 16 Pieces
