Christmas in July

By
It's our third challenge at Addicted to Stamps challenge blog and the theme for you this week is 'Christmas in July'
My card for the dt is an easel card cut on my Cuttlebug using a set of nesting bunting dies - they make a splendid Christmas tree shape - take a look


I cut out the 4 largest and ran them through the 'Bug again - this time in a snowflake embossing folder. I then layered them up using 3D foam pads.
Here's what it looks like stood up



The littlest die was used to make the 2 props - they were all decorated with emerald coloured flat backed gems and a S'U sentiment was added from Pines and Poinsettias.
Do please hop across and take a look at what the rest of the dt have made for this challenge and I will see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Clever to use a bunting die to make a Christmas tree - very effective as an easel card.

    Brilliant card Jacqueline - really love the way you've used the two little trees as stoppers. What a great use of the bunting dies - there is probably quite a limited use for them but if you can use them like this it's great.

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
