I think this will be my last Christmas Card in July for this year... maybe LOL! At least it's the last one I've finished for now.
I was inspired by a card I saw in the Build Your Stash Christmas in July Linky Party... a card by Jenni at Wish I Was Scrappin'. I hope you'll go leave her some love for her fabulous card! It's a fun way to use some smaller pieces of patterned paper. I cut the papers in to 1/2" strips and glued them down on to a piece of printer paper, leaving a little gap of white between each strip. Once dry, I turned the page and cut 1/2" strips that included all of the strips I'd glued down. I then arranged them on a white panel to create this fun, quilted look.
