It's July, but I'm already getting into the Christmas spirit! I love making Christmas cards, and I'm excited to share this one with you.
I used the 5040-Sleigh Bells Set to create this card. The stamps are perfect for creating festive and heartwarming cards, and the reindeer and elves are so cute!
To begin, I cut four round circles out of the card front. Before doing that I attached a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of cardstock from the 5712-Christmas Journal Paper Pack on the front. I colored the images and cut out the reindeer image. Then I used the 5064-Circle Double Stitched Dies to cut out the other images with a larger circle. I positioned them behind the window and glued them in place. I think it's super fun how the elves peak out from behind the windows!
To finish this card, I added white and red glitter enamel dots, a strip of fancy pearl and jewel bling to simulate snow, and a sentiment from the set. I thought it needed just a little bit more so I applied some Copic red marker to a tan button and some silver gilding wax to the edges of it. This makes it look a little more rustic. Then I made a small bow out of twine and attached it to the button which was then attached to the card front. It did the trick! Last I applied red, silver, and purple Stickles to the tree. I couldn't resist making one of these guys into Rudolph so I added red Stickles to the lead reindeer's nose.
I hope you like this card! Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you'll stop by the store soon for all your card making needs.
Merry Christmas in July everyone!

I really like all the cards. I couldn’t decide which I like best. I will definitely be checking out the warehouse sell.
Beautiful card, Janet! You can't have Christmas reindeer without Rudolph, right? Gorgeous coloring and I love the design and amazing details!
