It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My favorite Christmas in July Creation is … a Christmas card in non-traditional Christmas colors.

I started with my stamp set from The Greetery and stamped all the flowers in bright tropical colors.  I did the greens in a traditional green and a bright green.

I die cut the hoop three times and layered together before adding a bit of twine at the top.  Finally, I die cut everything, layered on the hoop and then the card base and was done!  A fun bright tropical Christmas card for July!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank.  The best thing about mothers is love! 

I started by stamping and coloring mother and daughter images and then die cutting.  I die cut some pattern paper and the sentiment and then layered everything up.

Moms lead us, teach us, cry with us and celebrate with us.  I miss my mom terribly and she did all of these and more.  She did it because she loved me.  She held my hand when I was young and I held hers when she got older.  Where you go, I go.  Love you and miss you mom!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It is a fill in the blank challenge to name a favorite technique.  I have many favorites but went with coloring for this challenge.  Just like a lot of people, I find coloring very soothing!

I started with my happy hedgehogs stamps from SU!  I love me some hedgies!  I stamped up the scene and then used my alcohol markers to color away.

I fussy cut the butterfly and popped up on the card after die cutting the images and backing with some daffodil delight pattern paper.  I stamped the sentiment and popped it up as well.  Finally, I added some dots and was done.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  This is a fill in the blank for what color makes you feel cozy.

Green for me.  It’s one of my favorite colors so I used five different green colors and used an impression plate to add a wedding ring pattern.

This is supposed to look like a quilt as when I think cozy, I think of grabbing my favorite quilt!  I added the sweet sentiment and some bling and was done.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It is a fill in the blank so here we go!  The color I avoid using the most is orange.

I started by stamping the berry branch in soft suede and then added the berries in mango melody and pumpkin pie.  I die cut the berries and then popped them up on some orangey plaid and pumpkin pie.

I stamped the sentiment and then die cut using my washi tag dies before popping it up on the plaid.  The sentiment feels highly appropriate right now.

Welcome to a new As You See It Challenge.  This time around we have a fill in the blank.  One of my favorite movies is Dirty Dancing.

I started with this leaping dancer image and colored in with my pencils.  Don’t let this fool you…this is actually me leaping into Johnny Castle’s waiting arms.  What you won’t see is his immediate collapse from the catch because it is out of the frame.  Lol.

Then I stamped the sentiment, die cut and backed with some mango melody before adhering to the card base and adding some bling.
