Christmas in July (for CC2C)

Merry Christmas in July! For CASEing Coast to Coast this month, Rosanne and I settled on “Christmas in July” for our theme. I’m coming to you from California and Rosanne is in Pennsylvania. We got together a couple of years ago and created CASEing Coast to Coast. Each month we take turns taking the lead while the other person CASEs (or Copies And Selectively Edits) the lead. We expanded this year to include themes, so while our cards may not look alike, they will be centered on an agreed theme.

I went with Christmas in July — in California! And used my Palms Dies along with my Tree Lot Dies to make a fun, beach-y Christmas card.

All the Details:

• Real Red card base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″ scored and folded at 4-1/4″
• Basic White Cardstock layer, 5″x 3-3/4″, brushed with Balmy Blue and Blending Brush
• Pool Party “water”, 3-3/4″x 2″, one long edge torn
• Crumb Cake “beach”, 3-3/4″x 1-3/4″, one long edge torn
• Palm Tree Dies for trees (Soft Suede and Garden Green) and grass (Garden Green)
• Tree Lot Dies for camper (Balmy Blue, Silver Foil, Night of Navy, Basic Black, Basic White, Garden Green, Real Red) and holiday light strings stamped with black and colored with Blends
• Sun in Daffodil Delight from Paradise Palms Stamp Set and brushed Daffodil Delight around the sun stamp for the rays
• Greeting from (retired) Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black

Have you ever spent Christmas on the beach? It’s kind of fun! I’m imagining parking this camper on the beach in Santa Barbara. 🙂
