Christmas in July - Biblical Impressions Blog Hop

Hi there, and welcome to the Christmas in July Biblical Impressions Blog Hop! The official start time for this hop is 8am EST July 1st. So, if you arrived early, hang in there until we make sure all links are up and running.




If you arrived here from the Main Biblical Impressions (QKR Stampede) blog, then you are on the right track. If at any point during the hop you get "lost", please head back there for a complete hop order. Well...onto business...here is my Christmas creations...I figured this was a great time to get started on my Christmas cards for this year. So...I made 5 of the same style card using the Jesus Savior word tree stamp. Ok, and I will admit...the entire time I was making these cards I kept singing "Wonderful...COunseler...Almighty GOD...", you get the point...lol. These cards are very simple, but turned out very pretty. The troubles I had in the past with Christmas cards, is I made the "plan" for them too complicated...so I wanted to go simple, so I can get them done on time. Here is a close up of each of the 3 different cards.
As you can see, I used the same PP for each (from CTMH), just the other side for some of them. Then I added the red CS piece. The image was then stamped with Versamark, and embossed with either gold or copper powder. After layering those onto the card base, I added either a little charm brad, or a flower brad.



Well, I must send you off to your next stop on the hop...
