Christmas in July

 

 Hello 

Thanks for visiting.  

Somehow in the melee of holidays and anniversary celebrating I missed blogging some cards made for recent Daring Cardmaker challenges so I'll be checking back and doing some catch up posts over the next few days.

 

This time its the card I made for Dawn's Christmas in July challenge which coincided (happily ☺) with receiving new dies from the Classic Christmas collection from Spellbinders.

Well it would be rude not to get busy with them, wouldn't it

 

 

This Christmas Bird Poinsettia die set is definitely one that would have been on my shopping list if it hadn't been sent to me to try!

I mean, its got a gorgeous poinsettia, a load of fabulous foliage dies, the cutest little bird to make up as you like and even a sweet candy cane too!

 

 

I chose a sentiment from the beautiful Christmas Die & Glimmer Sentiments set

 

 

I cut the word Season''s from gold card, hot-foiled GREETINGS in gold foil, and cut the background piece once in white, and then cut again in red to make it stand out on the white card.

 

In the set you get the die to cut each of the background shapes, along with the large sentiment word in a fancy font and the small message in capitals.  So you can foil and cut as in my sentiment on this card or you can mix and match as you like, maybe even with Glimmer dies from other sets...
