Merry Christmas Postage Card for Christmas in July!

Hello everyone! We can't believe July is here! We love Christmas so Christmas in July is a huge Christmas crafting month. We are watching the cheesy & cute Hallmark Christmas shows, making ornaments, and of course cards! We hope you are enjoying the summer. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Let the (Christmas) crafting continue.... 

This card was inspired by the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers (BYSH) sketch #59 (link to the challenge and the sketch are at the end of this post)! I loved this sketch and of course it has to be Christmas themed! I was also inspired by a few other challenges and a new blog I found: Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog. It is nice to build up the Christmas card stash and get ahead a bit, there is always so much going on during the holidays! So, I used a few fun Christmas crafting supplies from a few different companies to create this fun postage Christmas themed card! 

Here is the card:

I loved how this card turned out! The sketch was a perfect canvas to use the Tim Holtz/Simon Says Stamp 2024 STAMPtember Exclusive release Stamp set and of course you can't have a Christmas Card without Glitter!  

Products I used:

• Tim Holtz & Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Stamp Set and postage die set
• Simon Says Stamp Patterned Stockings Embossing Folder
• Simon Says Stamp Black Ink Stamp Pad
• This Calls for Confetti 6x6 Christmas Post Paper Pad
• This Calls for Confetti Merry & Bright Christmas Words Die Set
• Altenew Artist Alcohol Markers Red Cosmos Set
