Keeping Christmas - July 2019

~

Hello and welcome to the July 2019 edition of the Keeping Christmas blog hop!  

~

~

Each month we create a Christmas card, building our own stash and hopefully inspiring you to do the same.

I don't know about you, but when it comes to Christmas cards, I want to be able to produce multiples all at one time.  So each month this year I'm trying to create a simple (but hopefully great) design so when Christmas time rolls around, I'll already have my design chosen and ready to produce!

This month I pulled out my WPlus9 Winter Woodland set for my card.  I've always loved this set.

~

~

A CAS design, easy to reproduce, with a little sparkle (silver snowflakes).

Please visit with the rest of the design team for some more great Christmas inspiration:

Heartfelt Condolences - Color Throwdown #553

~

It's time for our latest Color Throwdown challenge and I'm your hostess for the week.  Our generic colors are Orange, Yellow, and Pink.

~

~

Sadly, I needed a sympathy card this week.  I thought the Rubbernecker Brush Butterflies would work really well using these colors.  And I decided to keep the card very simple.

~

~

Now it's your turn to play along!  Check out all the details at the CTD blog and be sure to visit with all the designers for some awesome inspiration.

Birthday Bird Wishes - Color Throwdown #552

~

Hey, y'all!

Well, I survived my birthday weekend!  I had a blast celebrating with wonderful friends - we danced a lot and listened to the best music on the Grand Strand!!  Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate!

And now....it's time for the latest Color Throwdown.  Barbara is our hostess and here is her great color combo using these generic colors: Gray, Pink, White, and Silver.

~

~

I love the texture on that cake, so I decided to use my Pine Needles embossing folder for my main layer.  

~

~

But the star here is the pink Bird with Feathers from Rubbernecker Stamps. Isn't she the cutest?  Another star is the Wishes die. 

Now it's your turn to play along with us!  Check out all the details at the Color Throwdown blog.  And here are the links to the designers so you can gets lots of wonderful inspiration for your entry!

Sh*t Could Be Worse - Color Throwdown #551

~

Hello, everyone!  It's Wednesday and time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge! Amy Rysavy is our hostess this week and the colors she's chosen for us are Pink, Gold, Black, and White.

~

~

This is really a beautiful palette.  Since the inspiration photo is fairly CAS I decided to go with that for my card.  I used my new Essentials by Ellen set called Voices in My Head.  It is SO much fun!

~

~

See how simple!?  I stamped the image and sentiment and cut it out with my Rubbernecker Nested Oval Stitch die.  I lightly colored her face with a Copic marker and outlined the oval along the stitch line with a gold metallic pen.  Then I added some washi tape to the card front and popped on the oval.  Done!

We would love to see how you use these colors in your paper crafted creation.  Link it up at the CTD blog.  And please check out more inspiration from our design team here:

What a great summer combo!

July is a month full of birthdays of friends and family for me.  So here is one of the masculine cards I needed this month using the MFT Picture Perfect stamp set (yes, again!)  I thought this little guy was perfect!
