Crimped Gift Envelope

Good morning if you're looking for my Doodle Pantry post click here otherwise welcome to Day 3 of Catch the Bug Christmas in July! Today is Monday which normally would be anything but a card day (I made a crimped gift envelope) but for our Christmas in July challenge for you its a colour challenge.

I made a crimped gift envelope (instructions here), sooo fast and easy with designer paper, using Bugaboo's Scarlette Present. As usual I printed her off twice to pop up the presents. 

I have permanent tape on the bottom half of the image and snowflakes but just temporary tape on the top portion so you can open it. 

Create a card using the colours above and give the Christmas in July a try, there are awesome prizes!

There are normal winners daily earning:

10 images for 1st, 7 images for 2nd, 4 images for 3rd

and Christmas in July images

The Grand prize winners must participate in all of the challenges for a prize of:

1st - 7 free digital stamps for six months ($126.00 value), a 4 month guest DT

and Christmas in July images

2nd - is a $50.00 gift certificate, a 2 month guest DT

and Christmas in July images

3rd - is a $25.00 gift certificate, a 1 month guest DT

and Christmas in July images

I'm having a hard time creating this month, even if I have time I just seem tired all the time.  Sooo my stamping buddy is coming over this afternoon and I'm hoping she energizes me, I need it. I've had this image coloured for a long time and just finished the card. I love all of my Stampin up background stamps, its easier for me to create a background rather than match DP, go figure, lol!
