Joy and I are dying from the heat down here in Texas, so we thought it would be fun to have a Christmas in July week! Maybe the winter themed cards will make us fell a little cooler!
Enjoy!
Today I have a card that I made using the NEW Twinkle Toes cartridge.This cartridge has tons of fun frames! I just love using frames on my cards because I consider myself a stamper and cutting out frames allows me to really stamp. Stretching my stamping muscle is always a great thing for me. I am not sure what it is about stamping, but it is so much fun!
 |
| The paper is from My Mind's Eye. The ribbon is from SU! |
 |
| This stamp set is from Papertrey Ink. the funny thing is I did not even mean to purchase this one, but I am so glad I did. |
 |
| I cut the tag at 3 1/4". Then I cut the smallest oval layer at 3" so I could add one more layer. |
We look forward to seeing you all back here tomorrow!

Pretty card! It's hot here in TN too, I hope your cards make me feel cool, too! LOL
I'll take the chilly thoughts in July. Love the frames, beautiful card.
Love it! I hope this strategy works, It's warmer here and I have the stomach flu so I'm trying to think cool...
Beautiful card. I love it! Maybe I'll start making Christmas cards early instead of rushing to do them at the last minute :0)
I love this card. I love the bow, however I would not be able to mail that to anyone. I know it is possible but the postage for tha amount of cards would be too much for me. Would you consider adding an alternative idea for the beautiful embellishments for the cards with the larger items. Thanks so much. Once again this card is beautiful.
I have always loved your bow tying. Maybe someday I will be that good. And I decided even before I read this post to try a Christmas card today to try and beat the heat. LOL!!!!

I don't know how you did it, but sosmehow you sent your heat to Kansas City. Showed up yesterday and is slated to spend a week. 2 summers ago I was in Dallas over the 4th - it got to be 113 during the day. At 10 PM at night it was STILL 98 degrees. So, guess I'll be joining in your "cool thoughts" week to help bust our heat wave, too!
Such a pretty card. The cartridge looks like such a fun one to win. Thanks for the opportunity.
I love this because you incorporated my favorite word: Joy!
We have been having the 100+ heat and humidity here in Cali also Cold sounds good to me.
This is gorgeous. I LOVE that candy cane striped ribbon. Beautiful card! Hugs- Glora
I love that the card is so elegant, yet simple!
I know what you mean by hot, I'm in AZ. Summer is usually when I do my Christmas cards--thinking the same way it will make me feel cooler. Very pretty card!
