Karin reached way back to 2011 to use the Critters in the Forest tree as a Christmas tree for her lovely design! She added gift packages from Toboggan Together and trimmed the tree with ornaments from Cheery Christmas. To add a special touch of shine, Karin covered the ornaments with Clear Glaze. The dramatic backdrop was created with Distress Ink in Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot. Finally, she added a sentiment from Offset Sayings: Christmas.

I hope that Karin’s beautiful Christmas card has inspired you to create some Christmas in July cards! Be sure to link them up by 11:59PM ET on Sunday, August 6. Click HERE to see the challenge post.

Thank you so much for creating this gorgeous inspiration, Karin!

It’s the last weekend for our Challenge 128 – Christmas in July! Time to get a jump on your holiday crafting and enter the challenge before Sunday, July 17 at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see how this challenge inspires you!

Today Mimi joins us to share a super clever Platform Pop-Up with a nutcracker theme! It’s great inspiration for Christmas in July!

Mimi created a beautifully decorated front porch on a Platform Pop-Up with Shut the Front Door and two super clever nutcrackers! Check out the diagram below to see how she made them.

She added festive holiday accents using the Christmas tree from Yeti or Not, the garland from Shadow Box Card Fireplace Add-On and the wreath from Car Critters Christmas Add-On.

Den Sweet Den, Special Delivery, Fab Flowers, Let’s Roll, Dad + Me, Let’s BBQ, Booyah, Virtual Friends

To decorate the Platform Pop-Up base, Mimi used Snow Globe Scenes! They fit perfectly on the side panels. To add the snow, she used Winter in the Park and Winter Village.

Thanks so much for sharing this brilliant card with us, Mimi!

Remember, it’s the last weekend for the Christmas in July challenge!
