Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you made some fun plans. I’m not sure what I will be doing today yet, we’ll see what the weather brings.

Today’s card is one that we will be making at our Stamp Camp Card Class on Tuesday. I mentioned that we will be doing Christmas in July even though it’ll be August. I thought this would be a fun one to make. Here’s my card for today.

I used the fun Stampin’ Up! Jingle Jingle Jingle Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Christmas to Remember Cling Stamp Set and the Celebrate Everything Host Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Celebrate Everything DSP to a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the jingle sentiment from the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Stamparatus, moving the plate down using the hinges. I stamped the jingle fill image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set in Pool Party Ink inside the outline image using my Stamparatus the same way. I stamped the sentiment from the Jingle Jingle Jingle on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink.

I adhered the artwork to a Polished Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Flat Jingle Bell Trinket to the artwork using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the Santa hat outline image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set in Tuxedo Black In by the sentiment. I stamped the hat fill image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink over the outline image. I adhered a strip of Celebrate Everything DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the Santa hats from the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set on the envelope front first in Tuxedo Black Ink for the outline, then the filler in Poppy Parade Ink. I adhered a panel of Celebrate Everything DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
