Hi friends,

For July’s Christmas card, I used Sketch Challenge 47 from Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers for inspiration. Sketches are such a great starting point for creating cards – not to mention all the great ideas shared by other cardmakers!

You can find the other monthly Christmas cards I’ve created so far this year in these posts: January, February, March, April, May, and June. I make 4-6 of each design every month to add to my stash.

For this month’s card, I used the Planner Gal: Get Your Jingle stamp set from Unity Stamp Company. I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored her with Copic markers. Then I layered the stamped image to red card stock.

To make the card, I embossed a piece of red card stock, layered it to green card stock, and attached it to a white card. This particular embossing folder is discontinued, but here is another one that would be great on the card. I attached a strip of green card stock to the embossed piece and then attached the stamped image using foam tape.

The sentiment is stamped with red ink on white card stock, die cut with the Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies from Unity and attached to the card. This sentiment stamp is one I’ve had in my collection for a long time and is no longer available ☹️ – use your favorite Christmas sentiment from your collection. 😊

To add a little bling to my card, I finished it off with 3 red sequins.

These are the Copic marker colors that I used to color my stamped image.

My stash of Christmas cards is growing! I love have a bunch made before the holiday season hits. 😊 Join me in adding to your stash – you won’t be sorry! 🎄
