Christmas Wishes

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a great week so far!! I was getting a little nervous seeing all of the Christmas in July cards, not having started mine yet. I had to (gasp) buy cards last year since I didn't get them all done, so I thought I'd start early this year :)

It was a little hard to focus on a Christmas card when the temps are in the mid 90's with the heat index in the 100's. But all I had to do was walk into Hobby Lobby and see all of their Christmas displays and it put me in the mood :)

For this card, I used my new Spellbinders A2 Curved Borders One dies. The red paper is from my stash, and the white is heavyweight cardstock from Canvas Corp. The top layer was embossed with a Cuttlebug Bit of Paisley embossing folder and popped up with foam tape for dimension.

The ornament cut-out and center ornament are Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament Dies. All three stamps - the bottom sentiment, ornament stamp and sentiment - are from JustRite Stamps Deck the Halls stamp set. They were stamped with Ranger Archival Ink in Vermillion on the ornament, and Jet Black on the bottom. The jingle bells are from my stash. The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is from my dear friend (and new grandma) Karen of Little Scrap Pieces :)

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. JustRite Friday Challenge #103 - Christmas in July 
2. DL.Art - Thankful Thursday - July Anything Goes
3. Sunday Funday #11 - Linky Party
4. An Inky Situation #1 - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by :)
