Colorado Craft Company: Anita Jeram Christmas in July Release (+GIVEAWAYS!)

28 Jul

Good morning!  I’m excited to be hopping along to share the newest Anita Jeram release from Colorado Craft Company: Christmas in July!  For a chance to win the entire release, make sure you shop through an affiliate link!

My first card uses the sweet Just Add Snow set featuring those cute bunnies!  I created my background by blending Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac, and Blueprint Sketch distress oxide ink onto an A2 panel.  Then I added splatters of iridescent shimmer spray, white gouache, and water to create a snowy sky.

I stamp the images from Just Add Snow and colored them with copic markers before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies.  I arranged them on a panel of white cardstock that I tore to get a snowy edge and adhered them with foam mounting tape.  Finally I added a little nuvo crystal glaze with chunky and prisma glitter for a little extra sparkle!

I decided to go with a nighttime theme for my second card.  I blended Uncharted Mariner, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot distress oxide ink onto an A2 panel.  I also added splatters of white gouache, water, and shimmer spray to create a snowy night scene.

Then I stamped the adorable Peaceful Fox and colored him with topic markers.  I ended up going outside the lines of the tree to give the branches a fuller greenery look and then die-cut everything with the coordinating dies.  I love how the die cuts all around the tree branches so that the background peeks through.  To finish the card I adhered him to a snowy hill and then added crystal glaze with chunky and prisma glitter!

Colorado Craft Company is giving away the full release bundle to one lucky winner who shops through the affiliate links of one of the designers on the hop!  In order to win you must make a purchase using affiliate links.  As always, I’m an honored and grateful if you choose to shop with my link.  If you’d like to use my link, please click HERE to shop the new release!  Thank you!

To celebrate, each designer is also giving away a stamp set from the Christmas in July release! To enter, leave a comment here and/or on my corresponding instagram post before the end of July 31st, 2023 for a chance to win!  Winners will be announced by Colorado Craft Company on August 2nd!  And don’t forget to hop along and check out the projects from all the guest designers for even more chances to win!
