As crafters we love getting a jump start on crafting projects before the season is upon us. That is why Christmas in July is a perfect time to get started thinking and working on Holiday projects. When December rolls around we won't have time to create the beautiful works of art we want, so it is great when we have some time to start working on projects ahead of time and getting them done.
Paperless Post is celebrating Christmas in July and has asked me to create a few fun projects to celebrate the occasion. I jumped on the chance to work on it, I am always saying I am going to do Christmas projects in July and get a head start, but like so many of us Thanksgiving is here and I realized I haven't made my Christmas cards!! Check out Paperless Post's Christmas cards page for so many amazing designs and creations.
So here is a full Christmas in July themed ensemble with decor, menu and cards. Each project is detailed below along with a link list on the bottom if you want to get some of them items and get started yourself.
Stay tuned tomorrow for another set of projects and cards for my Christmas in July extravaganza.
