Christmas in July

on
Hi my sweet blogging friends and happy Monday :-)

I hope your start into the new week was great!
Mine was not so good, because I have a (bit painful) eye infection and I now have to take antibiotic eye drops and hope they'll help soon.

But however .. I can't live without cardmaking respectively blogging ;-) 
And I did some projects during the last week and over the weekend, so I can show you some things here on my blog anyway :-)

I think we all know the phenomenon of Christmas is coming 'suddenly' and not having done enough Christmas cards?! ;-) So I thought I'd start creating mine right now in the middle of summer :-)
So here is my first Christmas card for the year
 
ETA: *lol*.. crazy me... totally missed it's AUGUST already.. so the title of the post should be 'Christmas in August'... sorry ;-))))

card receipe:
  • stamps - Hero Arts
  • patterned papers - Basic Grey 'Wassail' 6x6 paper pad
  • cardstock - Bazzill in kraft
  • other supplies - Versafine ink in Onyx Black, Versamark ink, Divine Baker's Twine in Cherry , Stickles in red, Christmas tree metal charm from stash
