Christmas in July!

Hello and welcome to another Blog Hop! This month it's Christmas in July! We're featuring Christmas cards using "regular" stamp sets from the catalogue.

I chose the Jar of Love stamp set because it's not one I use too often (but LOVE!) and it needed some inky lovin'. I thought it would pair well with a new set - Pop of Petals. Would you agree?

I did the majority of my stamping using Crumb Cake Ink and used my Cherry Cobbler Blends (Dark) to colour in the berries. I added several Pearls that were coloured with the Blends also. I felt it added some depth to the berries.

Did you notice the shelf I created for the jars? Well, here's a better look. I simply cut a 3/4" strip of Wood Textures DSP (part of the Buy Three, Get One Free Designer Series Paper Sale on until July 31st!!). Then I trimmed a corner and scored across. When I adhered it to the card layer, I added Mini Dimensionals behind the "front ledge" of the shelf and Tombow Liquid Glue to the top.

I kept the inside fairly simple, adding a few more berries and a sentiment from the Hearts Come Home Stamp Set.
