Christmas Wishes

Happy Friday, everyone!  Hope you have something fun planned this weekend....other than mowing the yard, that's what I have planned!  I made a fun little Christmas card for you today, as there seem to be many Christmas in July challenges around!  First, let's get to my card:

I am in LOVE with this sketch; it's from Freshly Made Sketches courtesy of my sweet friend Jen, who is one stamper I really admire! 

It also uses the colors from Fab Friday and the Christmas in July challenge from The Spot:

I started my card by diecutting a bunch of the little leafy diecuts from Forever Flourishing dies and adhering them to my card front, using a circle die as a guide.  Usually I draw a circle, but I just laid the die itself on my cardstock and adhered around it.  Worked great!  I used some little glue dots from a Paper Pumpkin set and curled them up around a piercing tool to adhere the diecuts without a gluey mess:

I stamped the ornament lineup from the new Little Treats set, once in each challenge color, and fussy-cut a few of them out to line up beneath the sentiment, which is from Banner Year.  The die is used is from Tasteful Labels, and I had to extend it a bit to fit the sentiment.  On the inside, after a disastrous attempt at stamping directly on to the inside (let's just say this stamp got a LOT of trimming after my initial attempt), I stamped this sentiment from Wrapped in Christmas on some white cardstock, added the little doodads at the top and bottom, and diecut it with a Stitched Rectangle die:

Everything got adhered to a pretty Bermuda Bay card!  I did also add some white epoxy dots to my wreath just to dress it up a bit!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

A little more painting of Cassidy's spooky house; we got a new bottle of green paint and she was happy with that color!  We need to add some embellishments...I'll keep you posted!
