Christmas In July at Dies R Us

Yes, you read the title right....

It's Christmas in July at the Dies R Us challenge blog.

Now stop complaining and sighing....LOL

just think, you will be one Christmas card ahead just by joining 

in our challenge!

I used a favorite embossing folder (I think I say that a lot..lol)

but really, look how beautiful this folder is,

for my background.

The holly is Cheery Lynn Designs Holly Lace Flourish.

I added a few red pearls to it for the berries.

The cardinal is a newly purchased 

Cheery Lynn Designs Feathered Friends die.

it has 4 different birds in this set

and I love the size of them.

I rarely read the sizes of the dies I purchase,

so I am usually pleasantly surprised when they arrive!

To finish this simple card, I just added a bow

and a stamped image from SU Perfect Presentation stamp set.

This card was so fast, easy and simple to do,

I might make this my "in a pinch, need a card in a hurry" Christmas card!
