Ink. Stamp. Share. July Blog Hop - Christmas in July

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am hoping with the Ink. Stamp. Share blog hop and out theme is Christmas in July. I decided to create a Christmas scene using the Tree Lot dies which are Free with a £90 spend during Sale-A-Bration. The dies match the stamp set Trees For Sale and I think I am a little in love with them. I was not too sure at first but I love this little caravan. I was actually born in a caravan ... if any of my family are reading this they will now be laughing or face palming ... as it has now become a family joke! But it is never the less true I was born in a caravan and therefore I do love caravans.

  • Don't you just adore the Christmas wreath on the caravan door?
  • I added a little step using one of the tree trunk dies, I felt it needed this
  • I love the little extra detail of the frilled curtain at the window which I cut from a scrap of Hues Of Happiness DSP
