Xmas in July











Hi there friends,
I made a gift card holder for a Christmas In July Sassy Design Studio Challenge. It will also fit some other challenges this week. I love the colors of these K&Co papers I bought last Christmas. They are 4 x6" mat papers that work pretty well for card making because of the small scale prints.

The tag sticking out of the top of the cup shaped holder will hold a gift card. I'll attach it to the tag with some glue dots. The colors are non-traditional but my daughter thought they went well with the modern SSD image and I agree. It was fun to make this even though I dread the holiday! LOL!
Hugs, Kim

    Kim, this is so lovely! You chose the perfect image for the cup template, and I adore the non-traditional colors you used! Plus the gingham ribbon, Martha Stewart punch and pearls all make me very happy! Another wonderful creation! :)

    Hi Kim
    OMG what a gorgeous card, and I love the untraditional colors. That teacup shape is awesome, did you design it yourself? Thanks for participating in our challenge this week at SSD.
    I just have to say it again, just beautiful!
    hugs Marilyn

    Hi, I will update the blog post later to give the recipe for the card but the cup was cut with my cricut, Joys of the season cartridge.
    Thanks!

    This is so cute, I need that cartridge now. What a great gift card holder, especially for all the Starbucks gcs, that seem to be my gift of choice! Beautiful non traditional colors, too. Love this project!
