Mimi‘s amazing Build-A-Drink card is filled with holiday spirit! Or is that “spirits”?


Mimi used Build-A-Drink glasses filled with ink-tinted vellum “beverages” in holiday colors! She cleverly used the Stitched Umbrella handle as a candy cane for one of the drinks. And she die cut the ice cubes from glittery Pixie Dust cardstock for some holiday sparkle!


The drink glasses look so dramatic on the black background! And the holly and berries from both Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On and Shadow Box Card Fireplace Add-On continue the Christmas theme!


Mimi framed the composition with a striped Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame before adding the super cool greeting! She spelled out “spirits” with Henry’s ABCs, then completed the sentiment by combining words and letters from Thanks a Latte, Don’t Worry Be Hoppy, and Slow Down and Enjoy. These sets all use the same whimsical font to create a seamless sentiment!

This is such a delightful design, Mimi! Thank you so much for inspiring us today!

Have a great weekend! We can’t wait to see your Christmas in July challenge projects!

The hive is all abuzz with the arrival of Santa! Catherine brings Christmas fun to her Magic Iris Beehive Add-On design!


Catherine added snowy detail to the beehive using I Scream, You Scream and Art Supplies dies frosted with Chunky Glitter! The Hive Five bees are wearing Santa hats from Ugly and Bright and the gifts are found in Toboggan Together.


Inside the hive, Catherine stenciled the honeycomb. Then she added Santa’s legs from Shadow Box Fireplace Add-On. Framing everything is Snow Flurries Backdrop. The punny greeting is a combination of Henry’s ABCs and Offset Saying: Christmas.

Thank you so much for this brilliant inspiration, Catherine!

- Nancy Krueger 8 Comments

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!
