Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! It’s Christmas in July, and today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects inspired by … you guessed it … Christmas! What fun! Although Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Holiday Catalog will be released to demonstrators this week (we can’t wait to share that with you), our Annual Catalog is filled with fun, festive and beautiful ways to make Christmas special. We are excited to share our creations with you today. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

My card for this Christmas In July Blog Hop is made with a set from the Annual Catalog.  Actually all of the components are from the Annual catalog.  And it is traditional Christmas colors as well.

Oh, What Fun : 140386

Color Combination:

My color inspiration came from the designer series paper, as usual!  When I saw this sheet in the Be Merry Designer Series Paper pack I just knew it would make a beautiful card.  And I did not want to cover it up.  The sentiment and other design items are all from the set Oh, What Fun.  Such a cheery name for a really versatile stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment , which has a berry sprig attached to it, with Memento Tuxedo Black.  To keep from having a black berry sprig, I placed reusable tape over the sprig before I inked the stamp.  (I almost forgot to remove the tape before I stamped…LOL…so don’t tell anyone!) There is a stamp in the set of a berry sprig as well.  I stamped it in old olive on both sides of the sentiment and then colored the berries with a Cherry Cobbler marker.  The above and below line is also included in the stamp set.

I made the layers with the Lots of Labels Framelits.  To finish off the card I added a loop of the Old Olive Mini Chevron Ribbon.  The layers of the sentiment are raised with SU’s wonderful dimensionals.  To me this is a traditional Christmas card.

I hope you liked my card from products in the annual catalog.  I cannot wait to share more Fall and Christmas cards with you when the Holiday Catalog arrives.  But in the mean time, please give the sets in the annual catalog a second glance.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop,  Lisa Pretto at Ink Big Academy Stamps.
