More Christmas in July

Here is another Christmas in July card, this time a shaped card. I used Preserves for the card base, it is the label for the loquat cut. I used two of the labels, at 5 1/2" wide and welded them together on my Gypsy to create the card base. I then cut a smaller version in white as my next layer. I embossed the white layer with my Cuttlebug and the Sizzix snowflake embossing folder. I wrapped the top and bottom with some red mini rick-rack. I then ran some red and white twine around it to "hang" my mittens on. The mittens are cut from Joys of the Season at 2 1/2." The red cuff on the mitten is flocked with some red flocking powder. I added two white buttons to the top and bottom, over the rick-rack. I added some white pearls to the curves of the card and finished it off with some doodling on the mittens.
For the inside of the card I cut a red label at 5 1/2" wide, the same as the card base. I then cut a white label slightly smaller. I left it on the mat and used my Cricut markers to add the sentiment. I used my Gypy again to line it all up. The sentiment is from Jasmine, and is 2 1/2." A nice wintery card in the middle of July!
