Let me tell you a little story about how I went about making this card. Yesterday was the 4th of July, and I had zero thoughts of Christmas. None, absolutely none whatsoever. This morning, I checked out the challenge over on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog, and it is Christmas in July. Hmmmmmm okay...... let's see what I can come up with.
Mind you, I was NOT in a Christmas frame of mind. I just could not think of what I wanted to create. So I looked around and saw this sketch on the Cardabilities blog. Between the Christmas in July theme, the Cardabilities sketch, and my huge stash of cardmaking supplies from Classy Cards 'n Such, I came up with this. The products from Classy Cards 'n Such (use code Holly-10 to save 10% off your order) that I used are:
Rejoice 6x6 paper pad
French Pastry Doily die (Cheery Lynn Designs)
Lady Kate Edger die (Cheery Lynn Designs)
Snowflake 5 die (Cheery Lynn Designs)
Kraft paper
Christmas Sentiments (Impression Obsession) - looks like this one is sold out right now
I have to say, I really like this sketch! It's more versatile than I thought - just replace the heart/snowflake with whatever you want and add a sentiment and you've got a personalized card for any occasion. I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Cheery Lynn Designs #87 - Christmas in July
Cardabilities #78 - sketch
Simply Create Too #41 - Christmas in July
Paper Minutes #276 - Die Cuts

Indeed, yes I am thinking about Christmas cards. I'm in the middle of making 60 of them--40 for my sister's birthday and 20 for myself. I love this Christmas card in the non traditional colours. Your button adds a nice touch.
This is such a great card Holly, thanks for joining us this week at Cheery Lynn Designs.
