Christmas in July day 4!

So I'm only going to get 6 of the 7 days in of the Catch the Bug week long Christmas in July event but I'm ok with that!  Today I'm playing BINGO! 

I decided to go with the bottom row - Ribbon, Bugaboo Image and Sentiment.

I'm still practicing with my Copics.  I love coloring and trying new techniques.  I'm really having a lot of fun with them!  It's hard to see the sentiment but I used an old letter punch that I've had FOREVER to punch the letters and sparkled them up with some stickles.  Really enjoying these Christmas cards!

Supplies Used:

Deacon Christmas - elf presents - Bugaboo Stamps

Copic Markers

Echo Park paper

Stickles

Christmas in July day 3

I'm flabbergasted that I've had enough time in the past few days to do any crafting!  I'm also beyond thrilled!  It's my third day in the week long Christmas in July event over at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.  Today's theme are the colors chocolate, cream and raspberry.

Here is what I came up with.  My raspberry is a little off but I made due with what I had!  I think more Copics will be on my Christmas list :)

Christmas in July Day 2

I'm on a roll!  I think I like this card better than yesterdays.  I love the almost vintage look it has.  I'm participating in day 2 of the Catch the Bug Christmas in July week long event.  Today  I am following the sketch below.

and my card :)

I have not practiced heat embossing in a LONG time so it is apparent I have some work to do!  But I am still happy with how it turned out!  and I'm feeling very accomplished even having only completed 2 cards.....that's 2 cards in about 9 months so it is a good feeling!  I'm back!

Supplies Used:

Christmas in July!

WOW has it been forever since I've done anything with my blog. I have decided to really make time for me and get some crafting done. I participated in the Catch the Bug Challenge Blog Christmas in July event last year and had so much fun so here I am again! It is a week long event and I decided to start off with a Santa card! I really think this is one of my favorite Bugaboo images!  I just love this paper stack too.  I love how colorful the card turned out!  I decided to sparkle up the Santa hat with some stickles and make his beard glossy!  I am also very happy to have started my Christmas cards!

Supplies used:
