what a better time to create a Christmas Card than in July. It is never too soon to get a start on holiday card making.
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature Christmas! I hope you are in a Holiday mood because there is a lot of Christmas fun headed your way. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My Christmas Card uses the new Knit Together stamp/die bundle and the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set as well. This is a large single stamp with the Knit image. To get the best coverage of the stamp, use your Stamparatus to stamp Cherry Cobbler Ink on a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock.
There are 9 Knit Sweater Dies included in the set, each die is a single strip with its own unique design allowing you to create your own knitted patterns. If you are a stickler for things being straight, use grid paper to line up the dies and then used Post-It Tape to keep them in line. Slip the cardstock underneath then run it through your die-cutting machine. Tip: They will cut better if you run it through the die-cutting machine vertically.
Heartfelt Wishes is a new favorite from the Mini catalog – releasing to customers August 4th. The font, with the tails is so pretty and looks perfect with this card. There are also coordinating sentiments for the inside. I chose to add a few trees from the new Peaceful Cabin stamp set. The whole card just makes me think of a Ski lodge in full wintry wonder.

I adore these dies – so clever – but not nearly as clever as your tips for getting them lined up. ♥
The detail on the card does really look like a sweater. And not the ugly kind! The little image on the inside is such a special touch.
This truly looks like a gorgeous cable knit sweater. Great card! Love the font in the sentiment!
Love love love this card. You nailed the Christmas sweater look.
Just gorgeous. Thank you for showing a cool cutting technique. This card makes me want to cuddle up with a cup of hot chocolate!
Great card!!! I love that the die set comes with a couple of duplicate strips so you can run the card through once.
I love this Fair Isle sweater inspired card, Lynn! You nailed the colors & thanks for showing us how to line up the dies!
