Blessed By Cards w/Renae Novak

Christmas Pinecones and Metallic Rose

Christmas 2022 / July 28, 2022

I can’t believe I forgot to post a card yesterday. I am not sure what I was thinking. So today, Thursday I am happy to bring you another Christmas in July card. Today’s card features a returning stamp set and dies from last year’s holiday catalog, Christmas to Remember and Christmas Pinecone Dies.

I created this card using a Night of Navy card base and used the Christmas Pinecones dies and a piece of the Rose Gold Metallic Specialty paper. If you missed this fabulous paper, it is pictured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog on page 139 and it is perfect for adding that special touch to your holiday cards.

For the tag, I heat embossed the greeting using White Embossing powder and punched using the Label Me Lovely Punch. The detailed pinecones are cut using Early Espresso cardstock. I hope you enjoyed this special Christmas in July edition and that it inspires you to create something beautiful to share with others.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Summer Fun-InKing Royal Blog Hop

23 Comments / Blog Hop, Summer Fun / July 20, 2022 / Sale-A-Bration

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! We’ve made projects that celebrate the fun of summer and are excited to share them with you today. We are a diverse group, so I know you’ll see a great variety of summer projects. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

It was not hard for me to get into the Summer Fun theme for today’s blog hop because it has been really hot here in St. Louis and so for today, I just could not resist this cute little hippo slashing around. He is part of the Hippest Hippo SALE-a-brations going on right now. CLICK HERE for more details.

I began my card with a Pacific Point card base which I think pairs perfectly with our theme. See button below for FREE pdf detailed instruction sheet.
