Creativity Abounds Christmas in July

 

This month the international team at Creativity Abounds has a great theme for our bundle and hop: Christmas in July. This hop - and the associated tutorial bundle - will give you a lot of ideas for Christmas, not just in July but for the real thing!

All thirteen members of the international Creativity Abounds team  have contributed a project to our Exclusive Tutorial Bundle, which you can earn as a free gift from me with a purchase of $100 or more (excluding P&P) or by being a member of my team. 

There's a sneak peek of my tutorial project and the whole tutorial bundle at the end of this post but this post offers you an alternative project to get you thinking about Christmas in July.

This project is a great way to refresh your Christmas look with a couple of inexpensive items. All you need is some of the gorgeous Season of Green & Gold DSP and a set of Christmas sentiments like the new Greetings of the Season. You can mix and match the sentiments with dies you already have and voila - a fresh new Christmas range of cards!

Both Greetings of the Season and Season of Green & Gold are Online Exclusives.

This Strip technique is really easy but if you've never done it before, I've got a quick video tutorial to get you going.

Here's a peek at the project I've put into the tutorial bundle. It's a great way of converting a set you might already  have to a Christmas purpose. Remember that if you live in New Zealand you can earn the tutorial bundle for free with a purchase of $100 or more.
