The Christmas in July theme has been everywhere in blog land, and I caught the bug. I don't need new stamps, but I love pulling out the older ones in my stash and creating with them anew.
The challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throw-down asks us to use the technique of fussy cutting in July. I found these lovely gals from the I Love Christmas stamps (by Photoplay) that I had already colored and fussy cut. The decisions of where to start were easy!
I also pulled out some favorite papers from the Candy Cane Lane pack (Prima).
I had only a few scraps left, so I trimmed out some tags for the second card to add a bit more fussy cutting to the project. Although it's a bit busy, I feel sure my grand-daughter won't mind!
Isn't the candy cane a cute embellishment! I loved the products from this SSS kit last year, if you'd like there are a couple more projects HERE and HERE.
Thanks for coming by to visit today. I'm happy to have my first two Christmas cards done! Motivation is one of the great things about challenges.

Beautiful cards! You used the fussy cutting technique very nicely! Thanks for playing at 52 CCT challange.
These little darlings are so adorable, and nice to have them already colored and cut! I know your granddaughter will love her card with all the fun bits on it. I enjoyed revisiting your other posts, too. I will look forward to many more of your Christmas cards now that you've made your first of the season. I don't have any new or not-yet-used Christmas stamps, but I do have lots of new-to-me Christmas dies so my work is cut out for me.
