My Old Stamping Grounds

 It's Christmas in July! Here's a gift tag idea for the upcoming holiday season. I had fun experimenting with a color combination I've not tried before. Who says Christmas colors are only red and green?!  I used the Mini Snowflake set and Pieces of Calligraphy stamps to complete this project. Follow along with this photo tutorial to see how I created it! There's still about a week left to participate in Lost Coast Design's July Challenge . Upload your Christmas in July project to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity for your chance to win a prize. 

It's a bit strange to be making Christmas cards in July, especially when it's 100 degrees outside! But if you're someone who likes to plan ahead for the holidays, now probably isn't too soon to start thinking about what special cards you'd like to make for loved ones. Here's one idea for you: This card uses the Angel Cat , Brush Strokes , and Party Words stamps. Have fun making the background in whatever color inks and patterns strike your fancy! Here's a step by step explanation of what I did: We'd love to have you join in July's Christmas Challenge on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity ! Submit your creation by the end of the month for your chance to win a prize. Good luck!
