Christmas All Year - August 2021

[Iring]

July was a great month for Christmas card making, wasn't it?! 

I hope you have some mojo left.  If not, maybe one of these prompts will spark your interest?

Option 1 : Use a stencil, any way you want.

Option 2 : Use this color scheme - red, white and black.

I really admired this card kit from PhotoPlay.  I didn't buy it, but was so tempted! 

Let's see if we can keep the Christmas cards flowing.  We all know we'll be glad come November/December. 
As always, please add to the Christmas Cards All Year 2021 album in the gallery and link here.

Happy Christmas crafting!

ETA : I just took another look at that kit.  Check out the photo, just for the card layouts.  Some good ones there.

Thanks for hosting. I should do some cards while my Christmas bins are still out. I did buy a new Christmas stencil also.

Wonderful cards, April! 
Such a bonus to find a pre-stamped background.  It looks great with the truck and the added sparkle.  Thanks for using the prompt on your snowflake card.  The multi-colored stenciling is really pretty.

As soon as I read the challenge I thought of this paper pack I have with all these tags and such to cut out and when I looked at it I realized that isn't white that is cream, but I went with it anyway because I just love this pack.

For my last card I used a stencil - hubby said it is way too busy, and now I see it on the screen I agree

I'm so happy the Christmas card making didn't peter out at the end of July! 
Wonderful cards!  Thanks for using the prompts too!

Connie, I really like the collages you made with printed paper.  Off white, black and red is close enough!

April, beautiful stenciling and nice clean cards.  I think I have that border embossing folder you placed under the cute gnome.  I need to use it, just like that!  It's a great base, so images aren't floating in space.

Heidi, I probably wouldn't have thought to use champagne EP.  It looks really nice.  Also, thanks for mentioning the issue with the holly stencil!  I will look more closely before I buy!  I'm glad the red marker worked on the berries.   It would be kind of a pain to stencil just the leaves and  just the berries without cross contamination, ha!

I'm hoping I can finish my Zoom card tomorrow and that way I will have at least 1 stenciled Christmas card this month!  First I have to pick up the avalanche  .  After Zoom I just walked out and closed the door!

Bummer about the avalanche Cindi, I usually walk out after our zooms too and take care of everything the next day, usually because I am ready for my supper
