Hey, do you hear sleigh bells?

No?  Maybe you will after these... my final Christmas in July cards made with more of those fun, but fiddly Sizzix sets I bought!  Hope you like them!


Sizzix: Bow Tied over Altenew: Dotted Geo debossed Craft Consortium paper


Sizzix: Deck the Halls over Betterpress Pine Branches


Sizzix: Delightful Deer - The Stamp Market cover and PTI frame
decorated with a few Spellbinders Holiday flowers


Sizzix: Funky Trees - I added the snow using scraps of white paper!


 Sizzix: Big Tidings! over some old design papers.
Here is my favorite of all...


Sizzix: Road Trip!  Over a SSS Forest Border... I found the grey frame in my snippets bin 'cuz you know I couldn't throw that baby away!   Isn't that fun?

I think you can tell that it was a fun few days of Christmas in July!  
Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Hi, Michele! I took more than a moment to start at your post from 26 days ago, all the way to the present. It was the most fun I've had in a while! You're such an inspiration. I'm looking at your Sizzix sets and wishing I hadn't passed up some of them when I actually wanted them all. I was especially adoring your PB Permission to Play series. The stamps you used are darling! I started that series a month ago and that's what's still laying on my desk unfinished. Thanks for a delightful visit. I can't wait to get back in the saddle!

  8. You are killing me with all these Sizziz creations! I love every one. My absolute fav is the last one. I could not love that card more, and that bit of twine holding the tree on top is perfect!

  10. Look at you go!! Wowee, so many wonderful Christmas cards, Michele. I keep telling myself I don't need that PTI dotted frame die, but then I see you use it and I might just be forced to go shopping! Love the fun little car on the final card and the way you've bundled the tree!

  14. These are all awesome Michele and kinda funny, but my favorite is the funky tree one! And that's the set I least liked when you showed them to me! For whatever reason, they're standing out to me today and I'm loving them! What great additions you have added to your Christmas stash!! Hugs. :0)

  15. I have the trees,bows and car dies and yes they are so fiddly they have only been out to play once. Thanks for the insdpiration and reminding me how wonderful they can look. You must have the patience of a saint to attempt all three in one sitting.

  17. Just when I decide that I'm not going to get any more of the detailed Sizzix dies (so much work!) - you put a variety of fabulous cards in front of me and I've already gone shopping.
