Here we are another month into our COVID-19 world and I was happy to be blogging with Celeste this weekend. It gives me something to focus on besides what design mask I will wear next or should I really really venture out to the grocery store again !! This month we decided to do a Christmas in July post .. Many companies are having Christmas in July sales, there is a blog hop going on and even a few Facebook pages are focused on holiday card-making ..
For my card this time, I used an Inked Girl stamp "Becky" from Ink Road Stamps . It was their December 2019 Inked Girl .They are limited edition and there is a new one released each month. I thought that this one was perfect for the times we are in .... Normal anxiety, COVID anxiety, holiday anxiety. And then there is always hurricane anxiety !! I will admit I am a bit of a worrier.
It's time to switch
from my regular anxiety
To my fancy
holiday anxiety
- I stamped Becky and the sentiment onto Strathmore Marker paper with Gina K Amalgam Ink.
- The image was colored with Copics.
- I cut banners from multiple patterns of holiday paper and stapled them to the left side of the stamped image.
- I adhered the image to a piece of red dotted paper and then that piece to a pink card base.
- The sentiment was popped up with foam tabs.
Celeste has created a fun card over at her blog - Stamping Junky . Please take a look and leave her a comment. We would love for you to sign up to follow us each month. This month I will be sending some holiday mail to one lucky commenter on this blog post .. I'll choose 1 person at random on August 1. So be sure to comment here !!
This month I'm drinking some Hostess SnoBall Coffee in a beautiful holiday cup I got last year from Rifle Paper Company. The coffee is chocolate, vanilla and coconut flavored.. Tastes just like a cupcake !!
Thank you for visiting Meticulosity once again . I hope that you are ALL staying safe and healthy. I'm looking forward to the day when I can take my coffee picture at my local coffee shop while I hang out !! Until next time, stay creative !!

Love Love Love this card. I also love love love Ink Road Stamps...a company that loves to push the envelope with mature adult ways of stamping...I can totally relate to that sentiment..which is why I moved 5,000 miles away from my family. haha
ReplyDeleteAdorable card! Love all of those cute banners and the fun sentiment! Great cup too... reminds me just a bit of my vintage bowl in the Christmas Tree pattern from Spode. That is a treasured gift my Mom presented me with many years ago.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, love your stamps and your paper choices! The staples are one of my favorite elements that you used. Your description of how you crafted the card was very easy to follow and thanks for sharing your artwork.
