This is my sample for CC746. Jeanne is our hostess and she chose granny apple green, melon mambo and blushing bride for her color trio. Dessert Option this week is stripes.
The CC challenge is a little different for the month of July. We have a theme of Christmas in July for the entire month. You can follow that theme or just use the colors and create another card with the design of your choice.
For my card I used the CottageCutz die "jolly snowman" die. I cut my happy snowman's hat and scarf in the challenge colors and to cover the dessert option I gave him a striped hat and scarf.
For the snowy background I used an MFT snow stencil and embossing paste with a little added glitter. I carried the glitter theme through to the snowbank and the snowflake that landed on the snowman by using white glitter cardstock.
My Merry Christmas sentiment is a stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I stamped in granny apple green. To complete my card, I added a couple of melon mambo glitter enamel dots, and my first Christmas card of 2019 is done.
Hope you can play along with us this week. We have some fun colors and a fun Christmas theme.

Snow cute! Love this fun snowman decked out in the challenge colors and his striped scarf & hat. The glittery base and the fabulous snowflakes are a nice touch. Terrific Christmas in July card. Wonderful inspiration for the colors!

What a wonderful start for your 2019 Christmas card stash! I adore this cute snowman with his striped hat and scarf. The combo of the embossing paste with glitter and glitter cardstock really add sparkle to this card!
