Just love Christmas in July, and these stamp sets are just wonderful!!!  I played with all of them and had so much fun.  For the blog hop, Two stamp sets were used, Reindeer and Tree Scene.  I started my card by cutting a snowflake gate fold card with my Silhouette.  Here is the inside of my card.

To create this winter scene, I used the Lacy Glitter Background technique. The beautiful sparkle was made using Sticker Paper, a Snowflake Metal die,  Olaf White and Waterfall glitter, a.  I hope you can see all the "Sparkle"  it turned out so pretty. Instead of using the lace, I used a metal stencil.  A strip of 1/8" Tear-ific Tape was placed along the edges and glittered using Sassy Silver.  If you have not tried the Lacy Background, you must give it a try!!  It is so beautiful and really makes your project Sparkle!!!  HERE  you can find all the details on how to make it.

Now the fun began creating this winter scene!

The snowbanks were created using Elizabeth Craft Design Outdoor Edges. The edges were inked and arranged on the background paper.

The sweet little deer was stamped with black ink colored with copic markers and fussy cut out.  I used a white gel pen and added his spots.  A small amount of sparkle was added to his chest using a glue pen and Sparkling Snow.  He was then placed on the snow bank and White Liquid Applique was added.  I wanted a little sparkle on the Liquid Applique so once it had dried and been heated with the heat gun, I used a glue pen to add stickiness and lightly dusted with Sparkling Snow.

The steps were repeated for the trees.  Just love the look of the Applique!!

The sentiment was stamped with versamark and embossed using Black Detail EP.  It was fussy cut out.

Here is a look at the card front when closed!
Just love all that beautiful Sparkle!!

The image was stamped with black ink, colored with copic markers and fussy cut out.  The chest and antlers were glittered using a glue pen and Sparkling Snow.  White Liquid Applique was added under their hoofs. They were attached to the card front only on the right half of the card.

I cut the snowflakes using sticker paper, removed the backing and glittered with Sassy Silver glitter.

A little sneak peek of project to come using all of the other stamp sets revealed this month!
