Christmas in July Blog Hop!


The first Friday in the month means it's time for a new Scrap 'n Stamp blog hop! Our theme is CHRISTMAS in JULY. Always a popular one for cardmakers, it seems! It is definitely worthwhile getting a start on holiday cardmaking before the busy festive season actually arrives. So I was more than happy to break out some Concord and 9th goodies and make this card: 


I am using an older Concord & 9th turnabout stamp set for my background, but the store carries a newer one that I have to admit, I think I like even more! This was the first time I had tried stamping a turnabout right onto the base of my card, and I'm liking it! Since I also love to make Christmas tags, I decided to use one for my focal point - it leaves lots of the background visible, too. ;) Grabbing a tag from my bin-of-many, I stamped the Merry & Bright sentiment, then added the holly and berries die cuts. Some scrap ribbon and twine finished off the tag. I added a piece of fun foam to the back of the tag before adhering it to give a little extra dimension. 


The Scrap 'n Stamp design team have made all kinds of beautiful Christmas cards - hop and comment for your chance to win a $50 gift card to the store! Here's the hop order: 

If these cards have inspired you, you might want to check out the Christmas in July sale at Scrap 'n Stamp, too! Have a great weekend.

    Lindsey, this card is so cute! (I have the same turnabout background, and still love it!) Adding the sentiment on the tag front is a great idea :)

    Seems like the June hop was but a few days ago and here we are, enjoying the July one already! Your turnabout + tag are a fabulous pairing! I have the turnabout you linked to...and have yet to ink it up! It's been in my collection for far too long! Best put it within reach!

    I love that you created your own patterned paper with the turn about stamp. The tag really pops against the Kraft paper. Great job!

    The turnabout is very pretty. I love white on a card and the tag is perfect, not to mention being on kraft! Merry merry nice!
