It's time for the Crafty Elves to celebrate Christmas in July !! Hallmark holiday movies, Christmas in July sales, creating our holiday card lists and making cards to send. We've been getting a head start on our Christmas / Holiday cards all year long and we're happy to see you here to get some inspiration for yours !!
For my card, I chose a fantastic Technique Junkies stamp - Perfect Blend . I love everything about this stamp - the glass cup, the cinnamon stick the sentiment and that cursive font !! AND that scarf is just the cutest .. This could be a lovely cup of Chai Tea for the holidays or a cup of my favorite Gingerbread Coffee - each with a cinnamon stick added . So whether you are a tea or coffee lover ( or even hot cocoa ) , this card is for you !! You need to add this stamp to your collection ..
- I stamped the Perfect Blend image onto a piece of Mixed Media paper . The sentiment was stamped with Lady Bug Memento ink and the cup with Tuxedo Black Memento ink .
- A piece of vintage patterned holiday paper was adhered to a brilliant red card base.
- The stamped image was colored with my COPICS .
- I matted the stamped panel with red textured cardstock .
- The completed stamped panel was adhered to the vintage paper with foam tabs .
- I highlighted a few areas on the cup with some Clear Wink of Stella .

I hope you are staying cool wherever you are -- we will be close to 100 degrees this weekend. Time to put on some holiday music, make some Gingerbread Iced coffee and head to my newly cleaned craft room to create some more holiday cards !!
We will be back next month with more inspiration for you and maybe even another Guest Elf . Take care and until then, Stay Creative .
Beautiful and delicious Christmas mug card!! Love the sparkle!
