Color Fusers--July Blog Hop!
/Hello friends! Where did the month of June go? I know I am asking myself that as my son graduated high school and my other two kids wrapped up grades 6 and 8. It was a busy month at our house! And here we are at summer holidays and I am kicking it off my sharing a CHRISTMAS CARD! I mean, it is Christmas in July right?
The Color Fusers Blog Hop this month is featuring Petal Pink, Poppy Parade and Smoky Slate and I think they make a pretty awesome color combo!
Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday catalogue also began on July 1st and there are so many amazing options for all of your holiday crafting. I didn’t even need to look too hard to find Designer Series Paper that had Poppy Parade and Petal Pink! I used a strip form the Santa Express DSP as my starting point for my card design!
I actually used a whole mash up of products on this card including Linen Paper and Snowy White Velvet Sheets for some of the snowflakes and the cute little heart!
The heart, tag and snowflakes all come from the Celebrations Tags Dies which is an awesome set. There is a coordinating stamp set of course but I pulled my sentiment from the Snowman Magic stamp set. I stamped it first in VERSAMARK, then Petal Pink ink and sprinkled some Clear Embossing Powder on top! I have discovered my love of heat embossing again lately. Now the dies cut a tag that is designed to open, so I just cut off the other side to use it in a more traditional sense.
The ribbon through top of the tag is the new Iridescent Trim with some retired Petal Pink Ribbon tied in a bow. I added the velvet heart and a couple Iridescent Pearls to the tag as well!
I love how the scallop die from the Hand Penned Flowers Dies coordinated with the bottom of my tag! I added in a spray of the colors using the Christmas Banners stamp set and coordinating Christmas Banner Die set. I think it worked really well to add in a different shape to the card design.
I am really curious to see what the other members of the Hop created this month…did they go Christmasy too or not? Make sure to follow all through Hop and visit demonstrators from around the globe!
