A Christmas in July Fun Fold

First of all, Happy Fourth of July to my American friends! As we celebrate the birthday of the United States of America, I've decided to celebrate with a Grab Bag giveaway! When you make a purchase in my online store from July 3-6 of $50 or more, I will send you a grab bag (or box) of retired product worth at least $50! Each grab bag is guaranteed to hold a stamp set, paper, and embellishments. The first five who order will also receive a product that is current!

Because I'm a sucker for Christmas in July, you'll more than likely see plenty of Christmas projects from me this month. It's the perfect excuse to use some of the new products from the Online Exclusive release that happened on Tuesday. Have you seen those products? There are several ways to see them. You can head to the Online Exclusives section in my online store. You can also seem the new ones below (click on each photo to enlarge):

On Wednesday during What's Up! Stampers, I shared a project using the new Jolly Holly Bundle.

This bundle includes the stamp set by the same name that has some phrase building stamps, as well as four Christmas images, two of which can be used for other occasions.

Also included in the bundle is a hybrid embossing folder. The gorgeous folder embosses holly leaves on your cardstock, but when paired with the included die, the folder can produce an even more dramatic look. Although registration for my Jolly Holly Buy & Try class is closed, you can watch the class on Tuesday, July 29, at 6pm Central time on my Facebook page. I'll be sharing four projects using this bundle.

Until then, check out the project I made with the bundle during What's Up!

PAPER SIZES

Real Red cardstock:

I love that the basic card layout can be made with one 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock. Then the three pieces needed can be cut from that with no waste.

-4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

-3" x 5 1/2"

--1" x 5 1/2", scored at 3"

Basic White cardstock:

-Scraps for "joy" and holly pieces

Garden Green cardstock:

-Label die

Take a Bow Designer Series Paper:

Don't you just love it?? You can watch as I make this card, either on my Facebook page or on my YouTube Channel. Since you're here right now, why not watch right here?

I hope you enjoy my Christmas in July projects coming your way throughout the month! In the meantime, enjoy your holiday weekend!
