Christmas in July with Blended Seasons

Christmas in July!  I needed to cool off from this heat so what better than to think Christmas in July for an imaginary cooling of temperatures.

I used the Blended Seasons stamp set and Stiched Season Framelits from the Color your Season product suite will be available starting August 1 until August 31.  It’s a great suite with the Color your Season stamp set, Stitched Season Framelits to form a bundle.  Also in the product suite are 10 Watercolor Pencils in new colors.

When I started to picture the card I would make with this set, I saw a tutorial for a mitred frame at Splitcoast Stampers  and thought I would try it with today’s card.  Click HERE for the link to the tutorial.
