This week at Bah! Humbug! we want everyone to make a special card for their Christmas box. It's usually these cards that I end up doing at the last minute and really they are the ones that should have more time spent on them. So what a great idea to do at least one of them as early as July.
My card is not intended for a friend of mine as too many of them check out my blog, but it's for my daughter to send to one of her close friends.
The image is one of Popcorn the Bear and of course as these images are so large they are perfect for using on 8" x 8" size cards. Popcorn is coloured using Promarkers and combined with DCWV papers from one of their briliant pads.
As the card is for a special person I've decorated the inside too with the Souffle image stamped and then cut out to add to the corner and computer generated sentiments mounted on Nestie frames.
My card was also made with the following challenges in mind...
- Crafter's Companion - the sketch
- No Time to Stamp - Christmas in July
- Creative Card Crew - Die Cuts (the frames for the sentiments on the inside of my card)
- Cricut Cardz Challenge - without my Cricut machine I couldn't have cut the perfect ovals used to mat and layer on the front of this card. They are way bigger than Nesties.
- Fussy and Fancy - Christmas in July
Have a great weekend everyone and don't forget to check out Bah! Humbug! this week to see the fab designs by my team mates and our guest designer, Debs.

nice.
Popcorn stamps are a bit larger than most but that means they fill up bigger cards nicely and he doesn't look lost. Fabulous card with a lovely sentiment inside. Perfect!

What a pretty card and your daughter's friend will love it! I agree, wouldn't it be nice if we carved out niches of time to make our Christmas cards instead of trying to work it into the chaos that seems to rule the end of November through Christmas?
Hi Ann,
