Christmas in July

I know the sun is shining and thinking of Christmas in July may seem just plain wrong.   BUT, I LOVE Christmas and I am a planner so taking a few weeks now to work on some holiday projects is right up my alley!  I invite you to join me,if even for a few moments.

myStamp BOX has an array of holiday themed stamps.  What I also appreciate about the sentiment sets is that you can get sentiments for a variety of occasions that will keep you reaching for the same set all year long.  The set I am working with today is one of those sets:  Merry Word Jumble.

This first card is a window card.  I actually re-used the plastic backing sheets that myStamp BOX stamps come mounted on.  It is the perfect weight for window cards.  I stamped the sentiment in brown Staz-On ink and sewed it to my card.  I framed the sentiment with a chipboard frame from American Crafts.

For this next card, I chose to frame the sentiment with a piece of burlap.

Now if you still aren’t ready to tackle Christmas cards, you can use these same design ideas to create cards for a variety of occasions using this same stamp set.

Happy Holidays!  (Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.)
