A Card For Christmas In July

As you know Creative Cuts and More is celebrating Christmas In July! I know so many of us are living in areas that are experiencing heat waves! The Jersey Shore is no exception and we've also had some crazy thunderstorms lately, many people in the area without power for days in this 90-over 100 degree weather. We are lucky that hasn't happened to us! With that said, it is nice to get into "Christmas Mode" and dream of cold air and frosty nights!
I made a card today using the really fun Color Block A2 mat. I love using this because there are so many possibilities to create different looks.
I kept mine pretty clean and simple with stamps from Unity, Hero Arts and Paper Smooches.
I think it would also be fun to put pictures into the 2 bigger cut outs and stamp or embellish the others, really so many possibilities!!!
Happy Christmas in July!!! Hope you are staying cool! And for those of you in Colorado affected by the wildfires, my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you!

Color Block...Fun!

Hi, Dawn LUSK here! LOL, did you know there are two
"Dawn L's" on the team?!! Funny!

I'm sharing this Color Block A2 Mat card, Bazzill Blue Jean Criss Cross cardstock, from Creative Cuts and More ... the work is done for you, all you have to do is create!! How cool is that!


I lightly traced the blocks with pencil, then put some sticky notes down to mask the blocks before stamping.

I used 2 stamp sets and a total of 6 stamps for this card! I have a tutorial on my blog how to do clouds.
Also, see how to do different colors on a silhouette stamp on my blog.

Killer White Tear-able Tape makes it so easy to adhere the mat to the base!

I hope I've inspired you to try one of these fun Color Blocks!

Thanks for stopping!

Happy Spring!

I know...it's no where near Spring yet...in fact as I type this many of you are still trying to dig your way out of the latest big storm. I am a little spoiled as I live in Southern California and it does feel like Spring here but I thought this bright spring themed card might help "warm you up" a little!
