Christmas in July Tissue Paper

My 4th card for this month's CAS Mix Up Tissue Challenge :-)  But celebrating Christmas this time!



Using Stamping, Alcohol Ink Acrylic Tissue Paper, Die Cuts


Who would guess that tissue paper techniques could be so much fun and creative :-) Not only I am loving the creativity and all my finished cards using my stack of tissue paper backgrounds,  but...our wonderful DT and GD Sue  are too.  And...our Gallery is growing daily!!!

My card was so easy.  I die cut the corner of  my card front using my Tim Holtz Sizzix Mixed Media Christmas Die set.  There are 2 more dies in the set for more future Christmas cards.

Next I placed my Alcohol Ink Acrylic Tissue Paper background from my stash behind the die cut card front.  Then I die cut SU Cucumber Crush CS using the same die again and inlaid the green leaves.  Worked great.

Next I die cut the Merry using a scrap piece of my background and stamped the christmas.  I plan to make more of these cards for Christmas.  I love the CAS design and still have plenty of Christmas colored backgrounds in my stash :-)

Here is the link to my 1st tissue paper card using the same background technique.  It has the detailed steps if you are interested.  

I am adding my card to a couple of Christmas in July Challenges.....

      I love the stained glass look of the poinsettias. I wish it showed up better in the photo. Can't wait to see what you design my friend. I am still using backgrounds and die cuts from our fun, fun retreat. I sure do miss you girls. Hugs..

    Ohhh so very pretty. Love the vibrant pink and how you've taken it across to the die cut sentiment. Isn't this tissue technique fun and there is so much you can do with it? Thank you so much for the inspiration x

    This is such a pretty Christmas card, Nancy! I love the beautiful colors of the poinsettia, and the sentiment! The way you used the die-cut (only on the top-left corner) is so elegant. Cucumber Crush complements the tissue paper color so well! Hideko

    How beautiful! Love the die cut poinsettia corner and will be curious to see more with the set. Beautiful shaded tones on the "merry". Getting a head start on Christmas is always a good idea.
