I love Christmas, my favorite time of year and today it almost feels like Christmas. I have always loved the Wondrous Wreath stamp set when it initially came out. I have used it many times and this is definitely a set that is going to become one of those classics. So many people wait until the last-minute to get one and next thing you know…BAM! It’s gone, whether through retirement or popularity. My rule of thumb is to get a set that has the most versatility. Enough said! =)
Please share your Christmas in July card, so that the rest of us can begin gathering ideas for our own cards. Please and thank you for joining us.
The Details:
- Need a Door?. The hardwood stamp is perfect to give your card the appearance of a wooden door. Yes, embossing it with the woodgrain folder would have given it a little dimension, but my goal was to keep it simple.
- Underused Die-Cut. The metal horn (kind of reminds me of a shoe horn) used to hold the wreath on the door is a little underused and I almost never use it, except for today’s card. I already cut it with a left over piece of silver foil sheet when I realized, I used the gold foil sheet for the door knob. Did you even notice it? HAHAHA
- Lighter Shade of Red. The ribbon is actually stamped with Real Red ink, but before stamping it I stamped it off once to lighten the color. It gives it an almost pink look doesn’t it?

I went from a hobby demo to an active seller and then back down to a hobby demo that is active when asked. That doesn’t make sense, but it does in my little creative world.
Peace, Love & Lots of Hugs,

To create the rubies, I took colored in our basic rhinestones with a red Sharpie. The secret to perfect flames is to place small pieces of Daffodil Delight on the smallest pear shapes on the Sizzlets Large Paper Doily as shown below and run it through your
