Still Christmas in August?

Yes, I'm still creating Christmas cards in August...why?  What better time to decide what to use for my annual holiday greetings and get ready to order my supplies.

So here's another one, using the Starburst Technique:

I'm a fan of the Season of Style Designer Series Paper (#132340, $10.95) and chose a few patterns for my card--it's SO nice when everything coordinates!  I also ran some Old Olive card stock (#100702, $6.95) through the Big Shot (yes, you really do NEED this) (#113439, $99.95) with the Argyle embossing folder (#127750, $7.95).  Each 4" strip was cut on the diagonal, and then adhered to a piece of scrap paper.  Then a strip of the Cherry Cobbler 3/4" Chevron Ribbon (#130012, $8.95) was added to the bottom before adhering the piece to an Old Olive card base.  Wishing You (w: #131748, $14.95; c: #131751, $11.95) was stamped using Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write markers and paper-snipped to a banner shape; Basic Rhinestone Jewels (#119246, $4.95) add just the right amount of bling.

What do you think? 

Let's get creating!
