Christmas In July - Christmas Card Monday!

Welcome to the week long Christmas in July! Today is Christmas card Monday.  What I learned last year is that it is really important when creating cards in bulk for the Christmas season to stick to a simple, non-complitcated process.I used only 1 cricut cut on this pretty card and some handy little tools. Although it's simple, the detailing is enough that people will know effort was put into this card.

Below: I used a vintage christmas K&Co. paper stack and highlighted the holly with Ranger stickels to make it dimensional and pop! An easy added touch!

Cricut Songbird (pg.  61 for the scalloped frame) An upside ribbon with a pearl in the centre and of course some Tim Holtz distress ink to make the paper look aged.

I added a strip of matching cream paper and inked it up with distress ink, then used a Martha Stewart paper punch and added Christmas coloured buttons with some juke twine. I love this card!

Now its time for you visit all the other designers! And challenge yourself too!
