This is my card for CC903. I am your hostess this week and I chose mint macaron, mossy meadow, misty moonlight and your favorite shade of pink for my color combo. Our theme and dessert option all month is Christmas in July.
For my Christmas card, I did a split panel fun fold. Usually on this fold you stamp a sentiment on the open panel, but I liked it with a die cut after seeing this card from Judy May. I used dimensional adhesive to pop up the 2 angled panels. I also added a border of polished pink cardstock to each edge.
I used the "whimsy and wonder" designer paper from Stampin' Up- it contains all the colors I selected. My favorite shade of pink is polished pink. I love the bright and bold color.
The Merry Christmas sentiment is a die from CottageCutz. I cut it 3x to give it some dimension. As a background for the die cut, I used another pattern from the same designer paper collection. This one is in the mint macaron shade.
To finish off my card, I scattered a few polished pink enamel dots and that's my sample for this week. I hope you can play along with us for the month with our fun Christmas in July theme.

How beautiful! I luv Christmas cards in non traditional colors - these colors are so soft and pretty. Great layout - allows a large amount of the DSP to be seen. The enamel dots are the perfect finishing touch. Faved.
