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!

Nutcracker Themed Platform Pop-Up card with Mimi

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!
