Hey Y’all!!! It’s Christmas in July at Prickley Pear! I can’t wait for the real thing. Check out this fabulous tree and these cute little birds decorating it for their special outdoor Christmas. Wouldn’t it be fun to be out there with them? The tree and several fun sentiments are part of Prickley Pear’s ‘You Are Loved’ clear stamp set.

Here is the link for the clear You Are Loved stamp set:
The card base is cut from Basic White card stock. It’s cut to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ on the long side. Just a tip I learned. Make sure you use your bone folder and burnish the fold well so it doesn’t tear the paper.
I cut a piece of Neenah paper and colored it with the Distress Oxide inks that created a beautiful blue sky. The paper I colored is glued flat to the card base using wet glue.
I cut clouds and the snow drifts using the Slimline Clouds and Slimline Wavy Edgers dies. The clouds are glued down flat with wet glue as is the back snow drift. The front two snow drifts are popped up with foam tape to get it some added dimension. Make sure the foam tape is only along the bottom edge of the snow drifts so you have room to layer the fabulous tree between them.
My beautiful tree is layered between the back two snow drifts. Obviously you can layer them however you would like.
You are loved has some fabulous sentiments that you can use to create such fun cards. Deck the Halls is stamped with Azure Afternoon ink and cut out with a scalloped circle. It’s popped up with foam tape.
I can’t WAIT for Christmas. It’s my favorite season?
