A Skating Cat! A Fun Holiday Card!

A Skating Cat! A Fun Holiday Card!

Hello everyone! It's very hot outside so we are so glad to be crafting on some Christmas cards, dreaming of cooler weather! Happy Christmas in July! Thank you for stopping by, we are so glad you did!

My mom was inspired by the Inky Paws Color Challenge, the Double Trouble Challenge, the Try A Sketch On Tuesday Challenge, and all of the super fun Christmas in July Crafty Challenges! Links to all of the challenges she is joining are at the end of this post, check them out and join in the fun! She combined the color challenge with Christmas and got this super fun Christmas Card. She used Newton's Nook Skate Paw-ty Stamp Set from the 2025 STAMPtember Release!

Here is the Card:

Holly used:

  • Simon Says Stamp Black Ink Stamp Pad
  • Tim Holtz Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink Cube
  • Stitched Hexagon Die
