{it's Christmas in July...}

...at the Paper Variety!
{wishing you HAPPY HOLIDAYS}


I started this card by cutting out 2 holly shapes from AC green cs. To back the cut-out holly, I cut thin strips of Bo Bunny pp and zig zag stitched them together. I then machine stitched along the top of the holly. The sentiment is an Inkadinkado stamp, tiny scalloped border punch is by ek, red offray ribbon w/LaMode button & prima pearl finish my first 2011 Christmas card. :)




Thanks to the Paper Variety girls for the fun inspiration and thank you for stopping by my blog!


hugs, patti

Such a sweet card Patti! I love the stitching and how you used the patterned paper for the holly instead of for the background. I'm your newest follower!
