Continuing the Christmas in July theme, today's Sparkle N Sprinkle card combines the wreath and bird from the Winter Greetings Birds and Wreath set along with the Bob Hope quote from the Spirit of Christmas Poinsettias stamp set.

The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine and heat set with Clear embossing powder. I accented this with one of the birds (also colored with Copic markers) from the Winter Greetings set.
To give a bit more sparkle to my Christmas card, I added Sparkling Snow glitter to the holly berries. (I use this glitter so much that I decided to get the Economy jar 👀.) I also added two strips of 1/4" Tear-ific Tape along the edges of my card and covered the adhesive with the new Sterling velvet glitter. (Love this color!)
I created a second card using these same sets and stamping technique, but I die cut the center of the front panel with a Spellbinders die (Classic Scallop Circle) and stamped the image on the inside panel. I also dry embossed the front panel with an embossing folder that came with a CardMaker magazine.

Both of these cards are flat and can be easily mailed without extra postage.
