Hi crafty friends!


I am excited to be joining Alex Syberia Designs in a big blog hop celebrating the brand new release Christmas in July!

This really is a thing in the card making world because it gives us a chance to get ahead with festive cards. It can get so busy during the season so having a stash of cards all ready to go is a win!


To celebrate the release Alex Syberia Designs is doing a wonderful giveaway, so check out the details below.

Alex Syberia Designs will pick the three winners from the comments left on each designer’s blog post in this hop before midnight BST on July 23rd 2023. The winners will be announced on the ASD Release Blog Hop post on July 24th 2023.


I quite enjoy die cutting then ink blending the die cuts to my own colour choices, which is what I did here with the Jingle Bell Joy Die Set. The only part I didn't ink blend was the top of the bells. I die cut those from silver foil cardstock. I thought these elements would make super cute gift tags. Therefore, I used the new Elegant Stripes Hot Foil Plate with silver, and then die cut the tags using the Signature Tags Die Set after hot foiling. I placed all the elements with glue but with the odd foam dot, then placed two Pretty Bows on each in bright red foil. To finish, I stamped and die cut two sentiments from the Christmas Sentiments set. Add some ribbon, and these lovelies are ready to go!


This Snowflake Die is fabulous! It has lovely detail and I immediately knew I wanted it in gold glitter cardstock. I really layered this up as it was going to be the focal point of the whole design. The Elegant Stripe Hot Foil Plate in gold gives a great backdrop without taking anything away from the snowflake. I added some silver bling, yes, silver! Do you know, gold and sliver go well together, especially on Christmas cards. Therefore, I added the silver bling to the tips of the snowflake to add that extra something, something. To finish, I added the Joy from the Be Merry Hot Foil Sentiment Set.

Hopefully I have given you some Christmas in July inspiration friends?


Now, go enjoy the hop and make sure you leave comments and love along the way for your chance to win!



Good luck!!
