Welcome to my post for today's edition of the Merry and Bright Memory Box Blog Blitz!
*** This is one of the cards I'll be teaching in Sacramento, CA the weekend of August 3rd and 4th! It would be so awesome to meet you! If you're in the area join us for some creating fun!*** HERE is the store newsletter with all the class info...
Another nostalgic Christmas scene that brings back memories of growing up in the city. Oh I had fun creating this card! When I first saw the new release I spent hours pouring over what I could do with them all! When they got here, I had to adjust a little but in the end, I'm so happy with everything I've made so far! I hope they inspire you and add creative energy to your day! : )
I created a step card with the NEW Bella Dress Form, Sevington Border, Snowflake Sprig (I cut off and used the holly), Star Flourish and the NEW stamp 'It's Christmas Time in the City'.
To create the whole scene, I incorporated some dies from the past too, the Small Dress Form, Cityscape Nightline, Tiny Bow, Flower Mound and Fairytale Flower.
On the inside I used the NEW Gift Bag die, the top hat from the Holiday Hats die, 'have yourself a merry little Christmas' stamp and Washi Tape Stripes stamp.
Hope you love it and come to class if you can!!! : )
May your Christmas card creating in July be Merry and Bright!
*** p.s. remember to comment for a chance to win the NEW Star Flourish die!!! ***
Wonderful card!

Wonderful card...it's so hot here in Florida that I am having difficulty thinking about Christmas, but Christmas cards are my fav to make...I usually have to begin early since I work slowly, plus I don't like to make duplicates so having enough original thoughts takes more time for me....LOL
