Christmas in July #29 - Whimsy Stamps Christmas Dreaming

Hello!

I am back for day 29 of my personal #christmasinjuly2025 cardmaking challenge. I used products from Whimsy Stamps for my card today.

I printed the image from the Whimsy Stamps Christmas Dreaming digital stamp onto white cardstock using my Epson EcoTank printer. I also printed the sentiment that reads "T'was the night before Christmas" from the Whimsy Stamps Penguin Christmas Sentiments 1 digital stamp set.

I then used my Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fancy Scalloped Rectangle dies to cut around the panel and give it a fancy edge. I ran the dies through my Sizzix Big Shot along with my magic mat.

Next, I colored the image using Prismacolor colored pencils. Specific colors are below:

• White: 20% Cool Grey, 10% Cool Grey, and White

• Red: Crimson Lake, Crimson Red, and Carmine Red

• Black: Black, 90% Warm Grey, and 70% Warm Grey

• Skin: Burnt Ochre, Peach, and Deco Peach

• Hair: Dark Umber, Chestnut, and Clay Rose

• Dark Green: Dark Green, Peacock Green, and Grass Green

• Light Green: Grass Green, Green Apple, and Spring Green

I glued the panel to a red A2 card base using Art Glitter Glue. For the sentiment, I trimmed it down and then used a red pencil to add some color to the edges and glued it flat to the card.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed the card and are inspired to create.

I also want to invite you to join me in my cardmaking challenge over on my Facebook page. See the pinned post at the top of the page for details.

Happy crafting!
