Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 128 – Christmas in July

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Christmas card that I created for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 128 – Christmas in July. I enjoy house scenes and often create them. I particularly like the pairing of the large house with the small village border.

Create blue A2-size card base.
Stamp Simply Winter Sentiments sentiment on white cardstock and cut with the Little Town Border. Back house windows with yellow cardstock. Add to card base.
Cut house pieces with the Build-A-House and Christmas Add-On die sets. Add glitter glue to light pieces. Assemble when dry and add the decorated house to the card.
Embellish with snowflakes cut with dies in the Mini Snowflakes set.

Tim Holtz Bold Tidings Mini

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Tim Holtz supplies that combines my favorite techniques: stenciling, die-cutting, and heat-embossing.

I applied white embossing paste through the Flurries stencil on an A2 teal card base.
I heat-embossed the Bold Tidings Mini sentiment with Wow silver glitter powder on white cardstock. I trimmed the sentiment and backed it with a silver cardstock mat.
I die-cut the Tree Line from white cardstock to which I had applied double-sided sheet adhesive. I added Clear Rock Candy glitter to the exposed trees. I like using Clear Rock Candy glitter as it does not have an undertone (some premade glitter sheets are blueish, yellowish, or pinkish).
Once the background was dry, I added the trees and the sentiment panel with foam adhesive.
