CHRISTMAS IN JULY, Final Card...
Here is my last card from my Christmas in July Class. It was the simplest card and the main stamp isn't even a Christmas set. But that is why it is my favorite! I love finding new uses for my stamps. I created a few different versions of this card (one really pretty with the sentiment on a medallion piece with more Brushed Gold), but in the end each one got simpler and this was the one I liked best!MEDALLION MERRY CHRISTMAS IN GOLD SUPPLIES:

Wow! I would have never thought about using the medallion stamp set as a Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! TFS
I love the Medallion used on the Christmas card!! I've got both gold and silver shimmer paper that would look gorgeous used this way!! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration, Maria!!
ReplyDeleteI so love the holiday lineup! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteOh that medallion is amazing! I adore this card...I love the little elves, too, but you're right in thinking the coloring would take a while. My friend & I did a SAS last year and we spent a goodly amount of time coloring just three of these cuties!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered this stamp and I am so excited to get it...This card is just grand in its simplicity...I love it! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this stamp in the catalog, I wasn't sure I really liked it; but yours is the second one I've seen using it and I have to say I really like it a lot. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThese are both beautiful. Love the silver embossing, and the the row of elves is too cute! Too bad it is too involved for your class! But you are right, lots of coloring!
ReplyDeleteWow - BOTH of these cards are wonderful! The "Medallion" card is gorgeous - I love the soft color scheme you chose! The "lineup" card is adorable!!! Great job!
ReplyDeletethe Medallion card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards, Marie! Classic! Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cards! I just love the elf line up. I just received some in a RAK and I can't wait to use them! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteChristmas in August?! Fabulous! This is a really fun card love the layout and colors!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous!
