{BYSHC} Christmas In July 2026 Linky Party | Christmas Words Cards

 

Hey everyone.  It's that time of the year again - the {BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party!  This is a great time to make some Christmas cards to help join the fun.  

Last month, for my June Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas post, I made some Christmas cards using leftover papers from a Christmas mini-album I had made a few months back.  The paper I used was an older collection from Echo Park called Reflections Christmas by Lori Whitlock.   You can find the digital version HERE.

I didn't use the long red strip with all the Christmas words in white, so I made these two cards using it and will link them up in the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party.

Card No. 1

• Using white cardstock, I made a top-folding 3" x 7.5" slimline card base.
• I adhered the red-and-white striped paper to the front of the card base. 
• The long strip is 2" wide.  I cut from the word Jingle down to Memories, and layered it on a piece of red cardstock.   
• I adhered a piece of red fun foam to the back and adhered it to the card front.  

Card No. 2

• Using red cardstock, I made a top-folding A2 card base.  
• Using a 4.25" x 5.5" stitched rectangle die, I die-cut a piece of the red-and-white striped paper, and adhered it to the card front.
• Using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock, embossed it with a Christmas embossing folder in my stash, adhered a piece of white fun foam to the back, and then to the card front.  
• From the 2" strip, I cut from the top word, Christmas, to the word Winter.  I used an angle punch on the corners, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, layered it on a piece of red cardstock, then to the card front.     

I hope you have enjoyed these card ideas.  I hope they inspire you to start making your own holiday cards this year.  This is a good reason to look at those papers in your stash that you might not know how to use.  

Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.
