Happy Christmas in July!

Hello & Happy July.

I'm sorry, not sorry! It's that time of year again for Christmas in July. This month there will be lots of festive inspiration, a few giveaways through the month and a NEW release.

Today I am kicking things off with a quick clean & simple idea to get more use out of your alphabet stamps, I used Alphabet Solid.

I started with a Poppy card panel measuring 9.5 x 13cm and I stamped the word CHRISTMAS in Cranberry ink on the left side. To be able to space evenly I started with the IST in the middle.

I then stamped and heat embossed the merry from Festive Sentiments in white embossing powder to compliment the solidness of the Christmas.

To finish the card I adhered the panel to a white card base. This card is perfect for easy mailing, always a bonus at Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by today & Crafty Hugs

A little Flashback Friday for you, hands up who remembers Background Builders Chevrons? 

Well, back in June 2013 the above was released, it was a fun building set, perfect for masculine cards like lots of the Uniko background builders. Anyway, it went into retirement and I was debating whether to bring it back and that's when this stencil idea came to me. 

And I am so glad I chose this option, I think it has so much more creative options and just look at the fun the Brand Ambassadors have had!   

That's all the product introductions, which means tomorrow is release day 🙌 All of the products will be available at 9am BST on the website and we will be back with a release day inspirational hop.
