Wishing You JOY w/Stamp Simply

It's always fun to celebrate a little Christmas in July.  I'm getting a head start on my Christmas cards by playing along with my creative friends over at the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers' Christmas in July Linky Party.  There's lots of great inspiration and loads of great fun waiting for everyone, so come play along.  This card uses some fabulous stamps and dies from Stamp Simply.

At Stamp Simply, you'll find lots of great Christmas Stamps and Dies to help you get started on your Christmas cards.  Stamp Simply also carries the loveliest stamps including scripture sets, wonderful and encouraging sentiments, lots of great images, and all the crafting supplies you can possibly need.  They have a bit of it all.  Here are the Adhesives I used on this card.

I used black cardstock layered with white watercolor paper that I cut with Spellbinders Rectangle Dies.  Next, I added a touch of water to the paper and painted it using Concord Grape and Lavendar Tim Holtz Oxide Inks.  I also splattered the background with Black Soot Distress Spray and cream acrylic paint.  The sentiment was stamped using the Vintage Christmas Images Stamp Set.  The ornaments were stamped using the c and were cut using the Christmas Joy Ornaments Dies.  I tied the ornaments with Gold Metallic String.

It would be wonderful to have you come play along in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers' Christmas in July Linky Party.  Also, be sure to visit Stamp Simply for all your stamping needs.  We love having you visit us, and we trust that you'll find many things that you LOVE at Stamp Simply.  Have a great day, everyone.  Thanks for visiting me.

Blessings,
