Hello there!
The Christmas in July release hit the 3C store on Sunday and today and tomorrow, July 19th and 20th, are Free Shipping Days at Colorado Craft Company. No promo code is needed, as the site will automatically apply free shipping on all US orders and International orders will get a $6.95 discount, making their shipping cost $10.00. There are also a couple fun ways to win happening right now, the first is a chance to win the entire Christmas in July bundle deal and for that you just have to use a designer's affiliate link when you order and you will be entered into that give-away. Second, there is a new stamp set up for grabs at each individual designer's blog that is participating today, so the more blogs you comment on the more chances you'll have to win. This will go until the 21st at midnight MST time and all the winners will be announced on the 3C blog. Here's a list of all the designers you'll want to check out:
My cards today use both of the big new stamp sets by Kris Lauren, ChilIin' Gnomies and Sweater Weather. On this first card I masked together most of the cute characters in the Chillin' Gnomies set, creating a scene of Santa stopping by to visit some of his polar pals and gift them with Christmas presents.The simple snowy background really makes that red and gold combo pop off the card. The sentiment was borrowed from the Sweater Weather set and heat embossed to match the falling snow.
My second card is all about the Sweater Weather set and those awesome "ugly sweaters" that we all know and love. I stamped four of the six included in the set across the length of this slimline card front and couldn't resist hinting at the happy holiday party goers who are wearing them. Each one looks quite festive and ready to take home the top prize from the ugly sweater contest, LOL! Once again the sentiment is heat embossed to stand out against that bright red background. :)
Alrighty, thanks for stopping by. I will be back again tomorrow with some more 3C cards... this time featuring the new Anita Jeram cuties!
See ya then!
