Christmas in August

Hey, hey! Hope you had a relaxing weeken and that this week started off good. I did some housework and since the weather was so nice I also did some hiking. Nothing extreme though, just a short walk. I also did some crafting. And I made a Christmas card for a change. September is nearly here and this means December is not far away either so I thought I better start thinking about Christmas. I still have 2 or 3 Christmas cards from last year, but will need to make the rest. I don't mind though. I just LOVE Christmas and everything connected to it. And Christmas cards and decorations are one of my favourite things to make. :)

I actually made this card for a Christmas in August card swap that I participate in. I hope the lady I made this for will like it.


For this card I decided to use a Stempelglede stamp and papers from DCWV - I just love the shades of light and dark blue with a touch of silver. Around the image and also on papers I sprinkled some white embossing powder.


I received those snowflake die-cuts from a friend of mine a while back and I thought they would be perfect for this project. I covered them with glitter glue to add some bling to my card.


The white "dots" are actually glittery brads that I had in my stash and besides those I also used crystals, doilies, sequins and lace to decorate my card.


Have you started working on your Christmas cards yet?

I would like to enter my card to the following challenges:
Papertake weekly: To die for

Die-cut divas: Favourite holiday (Christmas)
Noor design: Christmas
ABC Christmas: Q - quantum leap (I'm using D - die cuts)

    Maja čudovito zimsko voščilnico si oblikovala in všeč mi je njen vintage izgled.
