Christmas in July Day 4 Sophisticated Sled Banner Card

in Cardmaking, christmas card on 07/08/24

Hello crafters, Bonjour!

Happy Monday!  I hope you had a lovely weekend.  With the warm weather here in Ontario, mine consisted of staying by the poolside.  Although, we did get rain here and there.  My outdoor gardens are loving it…And I’m ok with a combination of sun and periods of brief showers.

Even if we are in the summer months, I’m hoping you are still loving my posts for Holiday projects.  I was questioning myself yesterday… Should I be doing Christmas in July posts?  My Christmas in July Event is my most popular…  Therefore, I thought of also designing projects for my blog.  I just love featuring two of the bundles from Stampin’up!’s Online Exclusives, Sophisticated Sled and the Greetings Of The Season.   I have two more posts to go for you…

Christmas in July Day 4:  A Banner Card

I’m all about versatility and this card features a different way of using the bundles.

I’ve been getting messages about the designer series paper used for all of my projects.  The paper is from the new Online Exclusive Product Release.  It is called  Ironic Celebrations 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.  The Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed are also featured in this new release.

How cute is that little cardinal perching on the wreath?  I love that there is a coordinating cardinal die in the Sophisticated Sled Bundle.  No fussy cutting here… Even if I love fussy cutting!!!

Color Combination: 

Crumb Cake
Cherry Cobbler
Mossy Meadow
There are so many ways that you can use the Greetings Of Season Dies.  I instantly thought of customizing the die cut pieces for a banner.  The holes are already pre made on these die cut tags which made it easy to run through the Linen Thread.
Click on the link to see my projects from Christmas in July Day 1   Day 2 and Day 3 featuring the Sophisticated Sled Bundle and the Greetings Of The Season Bundle.

The two bundles used today are also available in French, Lot Luge Décorée and Lot Souhaits Des Fêtes.  You can see the images at the end of my post below.

Hope you are loving Day 4 of my share for Christmas in July,

Kim xo
