Hey there! The first day of convention was yesterday and the highlight of the morning was the unveiling of the new Holiday Catalog. Oh. My. Goodness. There are no words to explain how fantastically mind-boggling it is. You are going to LOVE it!
Until I can show it to you, however, you will have to be content with another Christmas in July Class card, this time with the non-Christmas set, An Open Heart. This card was a favorite of many stampers:
I used the Hardwood background on the stamped layer first. I "stamped off" the Tip Top Taupe ink on scrap paper before stamping on the Crumb Cake card stock, then I stamped the berry branch with Mossy Meadow ink.
I colored the berries with a Blender Pen and Cherry Cobbler ink just so I could get a little more subtle color than I would if I used a marker. I followed the coloring with just a bit of clear Dazzling Details for a frosted look.
The linen thread is tied in a bow and then added with a glue dot.
I stamped the Christmas phrases from Petite Pairs on the front and inside with Cherry Cobbler ink. I also breathed on the remaining ink on the hardwood and the branch before stamping again on the inside layer.

Hi Carol, I thought you would want to know that I couldn’t get the links to work Friday… I think it was a blog hop, and I couldn’t get another stamper’ slink to work either. Any way to publish the corrected links? Thanks!
Stamper’s link… Auto-correct!
Hi Patricia,
I don’t know why the links aren’t working, except to say I am just linking the cards in my post back to the original post, and if it’s an old hop (possibly years old) I don’t have any idea how to get links to the next blog to work if for some reason their links have changed.
But thanks for letting me know! If there’s anything I can help you with, just holler!
