Christmas in July

It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas, right?  The designers at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration have whipped up a few holiday cards to inspire you.  You can check out their creations HERE.

I'll be hosting a Christmas in July open house this weekend in Kokomo, Indiana.  If you are local, be sure to check out the dates and times.  I'll have plenty of retired stamps and accessories, lots of card samples, as well as some Christmas make & takes.  Here is your sneak peek at one of the cards my guests will be creating.

I always keep my Make & Take projects very simple so that beginners don't get discouraged or disappointed with their cards. This Christmas card fits the bill perfectly and would also be a great card to create in bulk.  I used the This Christmas Designer Series Paper and the Better Together stamp set, so it doesn't require a lot of supplies either.

The layout for this card is from CAS(E) this sketch.

Card Stock Measurements

Very Vanilla: 4-1/4" x 11" scored at 5-1/2"

By varying the patterns of the Designer Series Paper, I was able to create the cards shown above.  If you'd like to get a head start on your Christmas cards, you'll find a complete list of supplies at the end of this post.
