Christmas in July

These cards are made using the beautiful  Imagination Crafts 'Robin' stamp set



The stamps are designed to be easy to decoupage. The first card is a shutter card, the Robin is decoupaged but it doesn't show well in the photo. 

I coloured the images with Pro markers, used the small holly stamp to create borders and frames. I added some gold Stickles glitter glue on the scroll border and red Stickles on the holly berries. All the panels were layered on gold mirri board then I layered up the decoupage. 

The twisted easel was fun - I used the small scroll & holly stamps to create the border and frame the sentiment, decoupaged the robin & the holly and added LOADS of Stickles :-)

I'm taking these over to Sarn's Rudolph Day challenge. On the 25th of every month the challenge is to make 2 Christmas cards, and if you follow all 12 months you'll have at least 24 cards ready to go!

Thanks for stopping by

    Gorgeous! Love both of the beautifully folded cards!
    Theway you used the holly stamp to create the paper is stunning. I can see the decoupage on the robin and it looks wonderful.
