Christmas in July #1




**************************************************************

HEY, EVERYONE:  Don't miss my 100-Follower Giveaway!!! 

************************************************************** 

Hi, Friends.....

I decided at the last minute to participate in the Christmas in July Challenge at Cards in Envy.  It helped that I looked in my Christmas tote and found some cards that were partly made already!  Yay!!! 

Here's my first entry:




I used one of my favorite techniques on this card of layered embossing.  I die cut the ornaments using my Spellbinders - Holiday Tags die set and some lovely foiled paper from my DCWV Foiled Elegance Stack.  I glued them onto a piece from my DCWV Woven Stack.  I love the wonderful texture of this unusual paper!!!  Then I embossed it with my Darice - Interlocking Circles folder.  After embossing, I drew in some strings for the ornaments with red glitter glue.  I attached some gold photo corners for a little holiday dazzle and added a puffy holiday sticker.  I mounted everything on a red card base.  Hey, now I have one Christmas card ready for December!!!  lol....

Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to enter my 100-Follower Giveaway!!!

    That kitty picture reminded me that we used to have a casette tape called Meowy Christmas when I was younger that consisted of cats meowing the tune to a bunch of Christmas carols. If they could sing words, they probably would have sang something like that! I really love all that texture on your card and would love to already have started on my Christmas cards!
