CASE-ing Christmas "Christmas in July" Blog Hop!

 

Hi there!

Paper Sweeties is sponsoring the CASE-ing Christmas "Christmas in July" Blog Hop!  Dust off those Christmas stamps/dies and join in on the fun!  Lots of prizes up for grabs!

The hop will run from July 3rd-15th and start on the 3rd at 6am CST.

If you would like to play along, just find one of your favorite NON-Christmas      cards that you have made and CASE it into a Christmas card.  You can be inspired by some element on the card, which can be colors, layout, image, etc.

After you CASE yourself, blog about your non-holiday card and how you CASEd it into a holiday card, then link it up HERE.

For my project for the hop, I cased the following card...

 
Ok, I mean cards...hehehe!  I used the same layout on another occasion with a 4th of July card. 
So, I thought why not for Christmas.  And, here is my card...
 

Details of the St. Pat's card can be viewed on blog dated 3-17-15.  The 4th of July card details can be viewed on blog dated 7-1-14.  And, supply details of Christmas card can be seen below.  Thanks so much for dropping by!  Hope to see your card over at the challenge...have fun!  Take care!

Hugs,
Maria

    This is such a fun idea and I adore your Christmas CASE! The papers are delightful... I love the row of presents on top! Santa is precious and the sentiment is perfection. How sweet is Santa's sack of toys?! I love the precious twine bows you incorporated, too. Your cards are always filled with such joy. Wonderfully done, my friend! Have a happy night. :o)

    Hugs and blessings,
    Karen

    St. Patrick's, 4th of July or Christmas, perfectly adorable for any season. Love how you changed up the 'happy' to white flowers on Jake's card. And Iove that sentiment, always love gifting more than getting!

    Perfect for EVERY season! Does Santa look unhappy or is it just me?

    So fun! What a great morph from top to bottom using the same design! And yet each is so unique, I'm going back right now for a double take ;). You make Paper Sweeties shine, Maria!
