Christmas in July – Oh Christmas Tree – Patterned Paper

Here we go – strap in everyone – we have got a busy month ahead of us as I attempt 31 days of Christmas projects and a video each day over on my YouTube channel!

As it’s the first of the month it’s patterned paper time and I grabbed a couple of pages from the magazine kit in my stash and made four card fronts.

I also have chosen a theme for today – Oh Christmas Tree – so I went a bit mad with my first day for Christmas in July and chose two different tree dies for the topper.

I love the frames using the waffle flower dies with the texture in it.

Also how cute that paper is!

I teamed the green trees with the wine red dies and then also created the card blanks from the same wine red cardstock.

For the stitching dies I only did the sewing on one of them … I ran out of time and energy.

For the one I didn’t sew I added some dots of white in the holes using a gel pen to add some decoration.

So four cards to kick off the month! Hope you like them.

I can’t believe I made them so difficult with all the different configurations for the first one! Let’s hope I can simplify for some of them or I have definitely bitten off more than I can chew!

Happy crafting!
