Christmas Joy in July Online Class

 Check out the Simon Says Stamp You Tube channel for the Christmas Joy in July FREE class with Cathy Z of CZ Designs.  I created along with the replay (set to 1.25 speed) and I easily made two cards of each style with zero prep work.  I purchased the kit because I'm extra like that, but use your stash to make these clean and easy cards. #ssschristmasjoyinjuly

Texture and Polka Dots

I started this card as part of a challenge to use a lot of texture.  I followed Gina K Designs' video with wax paper and an iron then stencilled over it with Kristina Werner dots stencil.  I used a second stencil with Happy medium.   Colors by Concord and 9th:  capri, bluebell, berry kiss, aster Stencils and flower die by Kristina Werner for Concord and 9th Greeting by Gina  K Designs

Family Birthday Cards

My sister and father share a July birthday, so I made these cards for them.  Sister has started guitar lessons, so I cut this on my cricut.  The stencil is new, from Pretty Pink Posh, as part of the Let's Stamp Together August kit.  I thought this card gave Swiftie vibes.  My dad gets another golf card using the Taylored Expressions golf cart.

Watercolor Background Technique

Mindy Eggen did a tutorial on her you tube channel of a watercolor background and stencil technique. I found some watercolor pieces in my stash and tried it.  You basically watercolor a background and let it dry. Then use an embossing folder and stencil to color it in.
