I've seen so many of you out there making Christmas cards in July, it has inspired me to make a start on mine too. Seems strange to be making Christmas cards though on such a lovely day when we've had a barbecue in the back garden and drinking Crabbie's ginger beer (yum!). If I looked back to my blog in January I probably said that I was going to make one Christmas card a week to stock up - well, I failed! This is the first one in ages.
Here's what I've used:
Teddy stamp - Lili of the Valley, coloured with pro markers + a bit of Stickles glitter
Papers and card - all by DCWV except the gingerbread paper which is from a Forever Friends pad
And just a bit of added bling from my stash
I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:
Crafty Catz - Christmas
Fussy and Fancy - Christmas in July
Sassy Studio - Christmas in July
Christmas Challenges -I used their sketch
Crafty Creations - Christmas
I love pro markers - Anything goes
Thanks for looking - less than 5 months 'til Christmas now, best get on with the card making!
