Happy crafting! This month’s theme is Christmas in July.

My project for this month is a fun sneak peek of a few items in the upcoming July-December Mini (Holiday) Catalog that has been pushed to launch on August 3rd. My layout inspiration was this month’s {BYSH} Sketch Challenge #12 – I am having lots of fun with this sketch!

You are going to love the new holiday products!

 

 

My card is featuring the new Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite. This suite of products has a Designer Series Paper stack, stamp set with coordinating dies, the ruffled Real Red ribbon you see and more! It’s one of my favorite new suites, for sure!

I used a new mask set and my Blending Brush to create the tone on tone, layered, background.

 

Fun tip!

I used washi tape to tape my mask to my grid paper – also using the grid to line it up straight! That allowed me to lift the mask and see my blending without shifting it at all. When I put it back down to continue blending, it was lined up perfectly, still!

I used the grid paper to line up my cardstock, also – though, I didn’t tape it down because I wanted edge-to-edge blending coverage. While blending, I made sure I was holding it steady, in place, so it didn’t shift around.

 

 

I also added Wink of Stella to my ornaments for fun shimmer.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed stopping by today! Don’t forget to keep hopping along to see all of the other amazing creators and their fun projects this month!
