BYSHC Christmas in July ~ Meerly Christmas

It’s day 6 of BYSHC Christmas in July! 2 more days left! I have an adorable card using one of our sponsors Newton’s Nook Designs Meerkat stamp set. The meerkat actually isn’t a Christmas stamp, but I added a Santa hat from My Favorite Things Beast Friends stamp set and a wreath from Sunny Studio Happy Owlidays stamp set to make it work.

I stamped out all the images, colored them, and fussy cut them out. I cut the arms of the meerkat so I can put the arms over the wreath. I also heat embossed Gina K Designs Puffy White embossing powder on the santa hat to give it some texture.

I used a piece of scrap pattern paper from Recollections Say Freeze paper pad and attached it to a red cardstock for the mat. I heat embossed the sentiment from a mix of the meerkat stamp set and Sunny Studio Merry Mice stamp set. I die cut out the sentiment with our Sponsor Gina K Designs Master Layout 4. Lastly, I put everything together for this adorable Christmas card.

Thank you for visiting. I hope this inspires you to use your other stamps not meant for Christmas to make a holiday card. Check out all the beautiful cards on the BYSHC Blog.
