A Christmas in July with Not 2 Shabby!
Proud Sponsor for the BYSHC Blog Hop Event
It may be warm outside, but we’re cooling things down with a little Christmas crafting!
I’m excited to be joining the {BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party, happening July 17–24, 2026.
For my card today, I’m using the beautiful Blue Christmas Collection from Not 2 Shabby. This collection puts a soft and cozy twist on traditional holiday crafting with dreamy shades of icy blue, winter white, soft aqua, and elegant touches of gold.
The Blue Christmas paper pad is filled with gorgeous winter designs, including delicate snowflakes, chunky knit textures, cozy mugs topped with marshmallows, wrapped gifts, winter books, and snowy watercolor backgrounds.
I love how easily the patterns coordinate and how they create such a peaceful and elegant holiday color palette.
My card features Sketch Challenge 21 from the BYSHC blog. I did have fun adding my own twist to the sketch! The soft blues give it a beautiful wintry feel while still keeping the card warm, cozy, and festive.
