Christmas in July

 Hello!

So glad you stopped by today!

It's time for a new challenge at The House that Stamps Built! Our challenge for this week is 'Christmas in July'.

I had so much fun with patterned paper last week, that I did it again this week!

I used this Repeat Impressions stamp:

2103M These Three Gifts

The image was stamped, and heat embossed with gold powder. It was matted on a piece of coordinating designer paper, and popped up with dimensional foam.

So, now it's your turn! Come join us in our 'Christmas in July' challenge!Remember, you don't HAVE to use Repeat Impressions Stamps, but if you do, you have double the chance of winning!

I can't wait to see your beautiful scene cards!!!

Check out my sidebar to see how you can save money on your RI orders!

Now, it's time to see what my DT friends have created!

Christmas in July at Technique Junkies...

Hello everyone!

Whew....I am sliding in at the last minute with some holiday cards that I've created for the 'Christmas in July' challenge on the Technique Junkies' FaceBook page.

I won't jabber today - I'll just share!  Here goes...

Christmas Dove

Stamped with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink

Hillside Pines and All Is Calm

Merry Christmas Wishes & Stardust Heat Transfer Foil

I could NOT get a good photo of this. Tried about 20 different ways. Anyway, in real life, this is real purty!!!  I painted the Transfer Gel on with a paintbrush, and let it totally dry, prior to running it through my laminator. Then, the strips at the bottom were Scor-Tape, that I laid the foil over.

 Merry Christmas Wishes and Stardust Heat Transfer Foil

Scor-Tape covered with the heat foil - so pretty!

Framed Poinsettia and Victorian Greetings

Framed Poinsettia

Scratched Tree

Scratched Tree

Foil fail....the image was just too much darkness, which is what the foil grabs to. Again, I painted the gel on, and let it dry, prior to running the piece through the laminator. In real life it is very pretty, but SO hard to get a good photo!!!

Red or White Christmas and Stencil Rings

Painted the transfer gel on, and let dry prior to covering with foil sheet and laminating. Colored image with Copics.

Red or White Christmas and Retro Blooms 

Drug out my old can of Stickles to decorate this one. Colored image with Copics.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Hugs and holiday smiles,
