Santa's Choo-Choo Train A Fun Christmas Card
Hello everyone! We can't believe how fast summer is flying by! It is crazy! July is here and almost gone! thankfully we have had some time to craft and create! And... it is Christmas in July! Happy Summer to you! Thank you so much for stopping by! If you like our blog and posts we would love for you to give our blog a follow! All you need is a google account, then just push "follow" button on the --> right side!
Let the crafting for Christmas in July continue...
This card was created for 2 challenges, Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge and Freshly Made Sketches. Links for both are at the end of this post along with a creation video (currently editing but will have it up soon)! Check them all out! I really liked the inky paws color challenge and how it worked with Christmas. I saw another post on that challenge where they made an epic Halloween card and I was inspired to make a Christmas card! Who says Christmas can only be Green, White and Red? I made another fun set of Christmas card with some teals and pinks and I loved how they turned out here is the link to that set. I absolutely loved how this card turned out! The color challenge with the sketch was so much fun and it really made this card pop! Happy Christmas in July!
Here is the card:
I loved coloring and playing around with this adorable Stamp set from Newton's Nook! My mom got it for me for Christmas in July and you know I just had to make a Christmas in July Card!
