Hello, crafty friends! Were you aware that today is actually the official day of Christmas in July? It originated from a summer camp held in North Carolina on July 25th in an attempt to extend the summer festivities.
To create the background, I used the La-La Land Christmas Trees Stencil Set which includes two layering stencils that you may use together or separately. I cut the panel using the PhotoPlay A2 Nested Stitched Scallops Dies and adhered it to a red card base.
I used an image from Simon Says Stamp, Gnome for the Holidays (retired), and colored it with Copic markers. I then adhered it to the panel with foam strips for dimension. The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps Santa's Village Stamp Set. I then die-cut it with Stampin' Up! Tasteful Labels Dies. To complete the card, I added a strand of gold twine behind it to add interest, and then adhered it to the panel with foam strips.
Thank you so much for dropping in with me today! Have a great rest of your day!
