Christmas In July | Let's Get Hopping #33



Hello everyone and welcome to another Let's Get Hopping blog hop. This month's theme is Christmas in July and with the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue about to be made available to customers on 4th August I though this was a perfect opportunity to share a sneak peek of a few new items I have picked up in the demonstrator pre-order
 
 


If you are someone who loves to use rich greens and reds for your Christmas projects you are going to love the 'Tis The Season Designer Series Paper stack that I have taken the background DSP from. Honestly I could have used almost any of the patterns from this particular DSP stack to complete this card. The images and sentiment for this card have come from the new Wishes & Wonder stamp set and I've also used the coordinating North Pole Wonder Dies to die cut the sleigh, the seal and the tag. 




Since I had a bit of time up my sleeve when I was creating this project I decided to add a few extra little touches of detail. Here in this close up you can see I've stamped a mistletoe image in second generation Sahara Sand on the tag so it's just peeking out from behind of the North Pole seal and I've also added a light splatter of gold heat embossing to the background. To achieve the gold heat embossing splatter I first used a Stampin' Write Marker in Sahara Sand to add I light splatter of ink to the DSP and I then quickly added some Gold Stampin' Emboss powder to the ink splatters and heat set it with my Heat Tool.

Well I hope you enjoyed my first Christmas themed project for this year. Next up in the hop is my friend Alicia Yap from New Zealand. I'm looking forward to seeing what festive themed project she has created for us.
