Hello everyone: The SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge is celebrating their 400th. post!!! WOW!! that is indeed an awesome milestone. The theme for this hot, hot July (well, at least where I am) is CHRISTMAS IN JULY so get your Holiday stamp sets and help us celebrate, and join my teammates and me in our gallery.
This image is from a Power Poppy set called Cozy Cupfuls which was released back in 2015, love this beautifully wrapped gifts and I can almost smell the hot chocolate and little marshmallows in that cute mug.
I stamped the image on Ninah 80lb. card stock with Stazon black ink before I embossed the panel then colored it with Prismacolor pencils, I added a bit of gold ink to the bow and some Rhine Stones for a little bling.
*********************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
I stamped the border with the Bordering Blooms stamp set (SU), the sentiment and the corner image are from a retired SU set called "Father Christmas"
I hope you feel inspired to come and join us at the SHOPPING OUR STASH gallery with your Christmas in July creations, we can't wait to see them.
Stop by the blog to check out my teammates' cards for more inspiration, visit their blogs and leave them some sweet comment love.

Beautifully colored image. I have that embossing folder and have never used it :-( Now I am inspired! Thank you for sharing and playing with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week.
Beautiful - the embossed frame really sets off that lovely image. Love the inside too
Beautifully coloured images, love that hot chocolate mug he looks so happy. Your card just gives me a big smile. awesome card.
Hi, Maria! We just got home last night after a week away and now the catch up begins! You have a lot to look at today and I'm loving it all! You know how I love this set, and the way you colored it is delightful! That bow is WOW, and the border makes the stamp so festive. Gorgeous border and sentiment inside, too. One more card ahead for Christmas! It was super hot a couple of days where we were camped, but mostly rather comfortable for high desert country. 70s and 80s. Not bad!
Happy 400th! Lovely card, cute embossing and beautiful inside!
Wow! 400th challenge post! That is super awesome!! congrats! Your card is adorable. I love the inside and how you stamped the little corner with the birds on the branch, adds a really lovely touch. Thank you for joining us at international art & soul Christmas in July Challenge.

Love your cheerful card! The coloring gives it such a festive look. I also like the way you inked the embossing and decorated the inside. Congrats on your 400th challenge!
I'm so inspired by your coloring and the whole card!
Really adorable with the cute reindeer cup! Love the design, too, with how you did the framing.
Love your colouring of the images, they are shown off perfectly with the surrounding embossing with that extra touch of colour. Thank you so much for joining in the challenge at 'A Place to Start' and good luck. Tina Chianna DT
