Christmas in July with Sweet Stampin’ Challenge

I must confess: I completely forgot to make my card for the latest Sweet Stampin’ Challenge theme — Christmas in July!

To make things a little more interesting, I was away all weekend too, which meant I only had this afternoon to pull together something quick and easy. I had headed down to Tauranga, about a three-and-a-bit-hour drive south, for the Craft and Create event. I managed a quick half-hour visit on Friday after arriving, then went back on Sunday for another few hours.

Let’s just say I spent far too much — but came home with some amazing goodies, so I’m not complaining!

For this card, I used some gorgeous AALL & Create washi tape called Purry Christmas Surprise. I added the tape to white card -   cut it into strips and layered them together to create a panel. It is such a fun and easy product to work with, and it made the card come together really quickly.
Once the panel was finished, I trimmed it down and matted it with red card before adding it to a white panel and then onto the card base. To finish, I stamped a Rosie’s Studio sentiment from the Hearth and Home stamp set.

I hope you’ll come and join us at Sweet Stampin’ Challenge with your own Christmas projects.
