Hello and welcome to the Joy of Sets blog hop where our theme is ‘Christmas in July’. You can never start too early when making your Christmas cards and for the hop I have chosen to use the lovely Peaceful Boughs stamp set and Beautiful Boughs Dies to make my card.
To recreate the Christmas in July card you will need;
Gorgeous Grape card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower left corner
Shaded Spruce – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded lower left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – Rounded lower left corner
Whisper White 4” by 3”
Scrap Gold Foil
I die cut the largest oval from the smallest panel of Whisper White using the Layering Ovals dies. The oval was placed onto one of the Whisper White panels and held in place with a little temporary adhesive.

I then stamped both the bough images across the top of the Whisper White panel and the oval in Shaded Spruce ink.
The oval was then removed and the boughs were stamped down the sides of the panel. I randomly added the dotty stamp in Pool Party ink.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink below the stamped boughs. The stamped panel of Whisper White was adhered to the Shaded Spruce layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The oval piece was added over top on Dimensionals, taking care to line up the boughs at the top. I die cut some of the outline pinecones from scrap Gold Foil and tucked them under the oval piece, securing them with Glue Dots.

Using a dark Highland Heather Blends Marker I coloured in a length of the Whisper White Seam Binding Ribbon. I tied it in a bow and added it to the top of the oval using a Glue Dot.

I added a scattering of the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to complete the card.
