Welcome back to another 2015-16 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop. This week we are featuring projects created with the Peace This Christmas stamp set and This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper.
I have to admit that Christmas in July has always been a bit of a strange concept to me. Perhaps it is because the temperature outside is usually in the high 90's (F) and I typically spend most of the month picking blackberries and making blackberry jam. I know that there are plenty of places around the globe where warm temperatures are typical during December, but for me, it just doesn't "feel" like Christmas unless it is cold outside. Needless to say, it was a little difficult to get into the Christmas spirit this time of year, so I turned down the air conditioner and put on a sweater to get into the mood...too funny!
I decided to make these fun gift card envelopes. The This Christmas Specialty DSP is a little thinner than our typical DSP, (but you get more sheets of each design), so it is perfect for this project. I also stamped and heat embossed these adorable tags by combining the "This Christmas" and the "Oh, What Fun" stamp sets. I didn't have a tag die in the size I needed, so I cut my own. They are approximately 2-3/8" wide by 4-1/4" tall. It was a little tricky combining the two sets because one is red rubber and the other is photopolymer, but it worked out fine. I stamped and embossed the sentiment first, then I stamped and embossed everything else.
If you are already going through the hop, you should have just arrived here from visiting my awesome friend, Cindy Schuster. When you leave here you will travel on to visit the very talented Inge Groot. You will be amazed at all the fabulous projects created by the Artisan Design Team so be sure to "jingle all the way" through the blog hop...and have a Very Merry Christmas in July!
I WOULD LOVE TO BE YOUR DEMONSTRATOR!
If you are in the United States and need a demonstrator, then you can order your supplies in my online store here.
Have a blessed day!
