Celebrating Christmas in July at 

Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Challenge #700




The challenge is to choose from two sketches.  The one that I don't use for challenge #699, I will use for challenge #700.

So for this challenge I used the top sketch.  Stampin' Up! products used: Wishing you Joy Stamp Set & North Pole Delivery Specialty DSP.

Poppy Parade was used as my card base.  This card came together quickly with the punch outs included in this Specialty DSP.

The sentiment is from Wishing you Joy Stamp Set, stamped with Poppy Parade ink.

The two front dogs were adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Embellishments are Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots.


Inside my card, the sentiment is stamped with Poppy Parade ink.  Another punch out dog was adhered in the lower corner.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.

Happy crafting,

Try a Sketch on Tuesday Christmas in July

Welcome to Christmas in July Challenges at 

Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Challenge #699



The challenge is to use one sketch for this challenge, and use the other sketch for Challenge #700.

I chose to use the top sketch for my card.


For my "Celebrate the Season" card I used Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines & Words for the Season Stamp Sets, Sweet Words & Labels Dies along with Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP.

Cherry Cobbler was used for my card base.  Had fun using various DSP from this paper pack to create the background burst.

Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon wraps around the lower portion of the card with the sentiment stamped in the lower right with Cherry Cobbler ink.

Sweet Words & Labels Dies was used for the background behind the flower.  The flower was fussy cut from DSP.
Embellishments are Iridescent Faceted Gems.

Inside my card the sentiment is from Words for the Season Stamp Set, stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink.  Another flower was fussy cut from DSP.
