Christmas in July and a Sunflower Never-ending Card

Another Christmas card for my pile ready for December this year.  The design was from a sketch over in the Creative Minds - Kind Hearts Facebook page.

The patterned papers were snippets from a paper pad from The Works.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up '#Elfie' set, stamped in navy blue.  Three tiny blue pearls finished off my card.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card. 




My second card is a Never-ending card.
The patterned paper is from a paper pad from The Range.

The small sunflowers were made with punched and  I use a Cheery Lynn 'Sunflower' die for the large sunflower.  I added a plain panel for the message.



Here is a little video showing how the card opens.  You may need to click on it twice to open it.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

  9. I love the red, white and blue Christmas card so much. The papers are a lovely match with each other and the design is so pretty. Whoa, never ending is right. That is just awesome. I'm not sure I could fold it back up again.

The sentiment is so fitting for the season, and I admire your plan to create a pile of cards before the actual holidays. I'm sure it will make the Christmas preparations less stressful.
