🎄✨ It’s the most wonderful time… of the summer! ✨🎄
Who says Christmas crafting has to wait until the snow flies? I’m so excited to kick off my Christmas in July series with a month full of festive inspiration. Whether you’re a planner who loves to get ahead on your holiday cards or just need a little merry & bright in your summer days, I’ve got you covered!
Each week this month, I’ll be sharing a brand-new Christmas project to spark your creativity. From fun folds to festive scrapbook layouts, you’ll find plenty of ideas to help you check off your crafty holiday list early.
This week, we’re starting with a super cute Christmas card featuring the Long Time No See stamp set and the Need for Tweed paper. I loved how cozy and classic this combo felt—and as I was creating it, I couldn’t help but think… wouldn’t this design also make a fabulous birthday card? (Spoiler alert: it totally does! I snapped a photo of my birthday version so you can see how easy it is to switch things up.)
The inspiration for this card actually came from my Card Club 2 Go PDF – Cheers & Sips, which is still available in my PDF shop if you’re looking for even more cardmaking ideas to sip on! 😉

Because even llamas love a good party! 🥳 I couldn’t resist giving this design a birthday twist—and just like that, it went from “Merry & Bright” to “Let’s Celebrate!” It’s amazing how a quick sentiment swap and a pop of colour can take this card from Christmas to year-round cheer.
