Artful Palette Christmas

I have made a couple cards with a cool and fun new set of stencils from Simon Says Stamp, and their new Shine On release!...

This stencil set, Artful Palette Christmas, has Christmas in it's name, and being that it's July 1st...Christmas in July...I thought it perfect to use this stencil for a July Christmas card.  I used two shades of red and one green, and used a couple of the stencils as they were designed, then added some extra circles in random, and needed spots, to fill in the emptier spaces.  I added a stamped, silver embossed, and layered sentiment, and some silver enamel dots.  I then finished by popping up the panel on a card.  

Here's a close up...

Then I used the circles for a birthday card...

This was made with three shades of blue, and then a silver embossed and layered sentiment.  I used the same enamel dots for this one as for the first.  I was going for a "guy" card, as this will be for my daughter's fiance.  Here's a close up...

Such great fun!  These cards were so much fun to make!  Christmas in July, I'm watching lots of Hallmark movies...I have so many Christmas favorites!  Hope you have a great rest of your week.  

Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
