Christmas in July

2017badge-denim

Welcome to the July 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month we’re having a Pattern Party! Hoppers will feature projects using their favorite Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and coordinating embellishments. After all, color coordination is a Stampin’ Up! Strength.

Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

Since I’m getting excited for the Holiday Catalog to come out and it is July (Christmas in July), I decided to make a Christmas card featuring new products.

I love the new Boxwood Wreath Embellishments and through it would be a perfect “o” in Noel. I fussy cut out the letters in Noel; inspired by the sample on Page 121 of the catalog.

I used some of the DSP from the front of the card and card liner on the inside of the card as well to tie everything together.

Papers Used: Be Merry DSP, Garden Green, Whisper White

Inks Used: Garden Green

Stamps Used: Christmas Pines

Other:Boxwood Wreaths Embellishments, Solid Bakers Twine Whisper White

Thank you for stopping by today!

Please take a minute to mark your calendar for our next hop on August 9, 2017 when our projects will feature “cuts” from punches, dies, framelits, edgelits, or thinlits. Now hop along using the Blog Hop Line-up below. Thank you so much for hopping with the Stampin’ Pretty Pals today. See you on August 9!
