Christmas In July Card 2 & Sketch Challenge Entry

Here is another Christmas card, I made today. This one is also being entered into the CLP-60 Sketch Challenge.

I used the following Stampin' Up! products for this card:

Item# 121045 Basic Black cardstock
Item# 108641 Wild Wasabi cardstock
Item# 101650 Very Vanilla cardstock
Retired Red Ribbon

Item# 118402 Scallop Trim Border Punch

Christmas In July...

Here is one of the first of many Christmas cards, that I will post over the last few days of July. There's only 153 days left until Christmas...so I have already begun creating my Christmas cards for my loved ones and friends....

As you can see I used a technique, I like to call "Blacked Out". I'm sure it has some technical name, but I call it that. It simply is where you put black cardstock behind just about every layer. Many times there is some additional detail completed with a white gel pen. I did not use the gel pen on this card however you will see one later in the week with that accent.

Quick And Easy Everyday Card, No Sentiment

Today's card is a quick and easy one. You can add most any sentiment to it.

Step 1: Cut a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"  sheet of Whisper White cardstock. Score at 4 1/4".

Step 2: Cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock into 5 1/2" x 2". Take the Scallop border punch and punch along the 5 1/2" side.

Step 3: Use the small circular stamp from the Hello Lovely Stamp Set, and stamp a small piece of Whisper White cardstock in Pumpkin Pie.

Step 4: Punch out the image with the 1 inch circle punch, or the 1 3/8" circle punch. Sponge the edges of the circle with Baked Brown Sugar.

Step 5: Cut a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock into 3 1/2" x 1", tear a small edge and adhere to the Pumpkin Pie cardstock.

Step 6: Add the circle to the card with a dimensional.

Step 7: Sponge the remainder of the card lightly with the edge slightly darker.

Supplies Needed:
Item# 130240 Hello Lovely Stamp Set
Item# 100730Whisper White cardstock
Item# 105117 Pumpkin Pie cardstock
