Christmas in June

A Christmas card today, which I'll probably batch make as it was a fairly quick and easy design to make. 
The embossing was done with an Apple Blossom 'Merry Christmas' e/f.  The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up 'Half Full' set of stamps and I used Stampin' Up oval and scalloped oval punches for the sentiment.

Here is the inside of the card - more stamps from the same Stampin' Up set.  The image was coloured with Promarkers.

I am joining in the following challenges:


Last Sunday I spent a lovely afternoon at a cardmaking workshop with a few friends, which included a delicious cream tea.  Here are the cards I made.

  20. Your Rudolph entry is fabulous. Loved that sentiment...what a lovely hidden surprise. It made me grin!!!

    I especially love the embossing folder. I got my first divided folder like you have used here at our local papercraft stores garage sale. There were 40 vendors in the parking lot and I made it round to about 3/4 of them till my knee could not walk any further, Thank goodness I had my walker so I could sit as I looked through boxes of stamps, folders, dies, paper, etc

    Your cards from the from tea day out look so lovely!

    Thanks for taking part in the June Rudolph Days Challenge.
