Well, I can't believe it but I created a Christmas Card - no two - today!! This is a major accomplishment for me. I rarely make Christmas cards, and if I do it is usually last minute for family and close friends! I really don't know why, but I'm not usually into Christmas cards. I make a lot of gifts for the Wellness Center, Jennifer and her friends but not cards. I saw this card on Pinterest and I really liked it. I said to myself - self, I think you have that stamp set and I did. Then I looked at the date and it was July 25th, so it is definitely Christmas in July!!
I used Black CS for my base and Real Red CS for my first layer. My second layer is Merry Music Specialty DP. I stamped my trees from SU's Season Like Xmas stamp set using Old Olive for my first tree stamp, Pear Pizazz my second stamp and Real Red for the third stamp.
I made a banner for my sentiment from the Snow Place stamp set from SU which I popped up with dimensionals. Then I attached a Mini Jingle Bell to each ribbon before I adhered them to the card.
For my inside sentiment. I used the Season Like Xmas stamp set and added a few little stars from the same set. So I now have "2" Christmas cards in my stash! YaY!! We have had so much rain this week that even Hershey Park has been underwater and closed! I hate to see how tall the grass will be when Joe gets to mow! Hope you enjoyed this cute Christmas card. It came together pretty quick!

We're opposite -- I make cards, but not gifts. I used to make gifts and cards, both, but something had to give. These two are very pretty! Looks like a nice, simple idea. Love the paper and cute jingle bell.
Oh I think your cards are so pretty. Love them! May have to try this. Thanks for Sharing. Happy Day to you!

Super cute!!! Thank you for joining us at ATSM, good luck!!! Amy DT
Oh boy I LOVE Christmas cards and you did a super fabulous job. How awesome you made it on the 25th too. I'm love the music sheet behind the tree, I had no idea you could buy DSP like that. My goodness I've always wanted to try something like this but don't have the courage to rip a hymn or music book apart. Now I must search for music DSP ☺ Such a Beautiful card Nancy.
