Greetings friends!! All that work with ornaments earlier this week sure got me all in the mood for Christmas! Sigh, walking through Hobby Lobby just makes me smile from ear to ear ’cause they already have the Christmas stuff out. I know, I know – why oh why do stores start putting holiday stuff out in June and July? Well, because they see me coming!! It used to get me frustrated but I’m amazed that having the stuff there gets me in the giving mood and is an ever present reminder of the birth of Jesus. Last year we unexpectedly went out of town in November and didn’t return home until January, missing Christmas at home – although the spirit of Christmas was certainly with us. I’m savoring plans for our giving this year. I’m sure I’ll start early, I have plenty of supplies that I didn’t use last year, ahem…you’ve been warned – it’ll be knee deep here before you know it. Which leads me into what I’m showing today . . .
We’re having a JustRite Christmas in July and we’re celebrating with a Blog Hop!! JustRite Stampers has released new Christmas sets HERE and I snagged one to use in my project today from the Holiday Cheer Borders and Centers Set. These little centers fit perfectly in the new Spellbinders 2010 Snowflake Pendants so I wanted to show how well they fit. For my card I used some frilly Anna Griffin scrapbook paper that I cut down and mitered so that I could have a border. Then I cut my Spellbinders™ Snowflake Pendant as a frame and popped up my gold snowflake along with a layer from Spellbinders™ Snowflake Wonder , two layers from Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG. As a gift to go along with the card, an ornament of course. It can be flattened and included in the envelope with instructions to the recipient to fold it out and hang it on the tree!! The ornament is made differently from the one I made HERE. This one is simply four snowflake pendants (with a circle frame cut from the center) folded in the center and glued together – how easy is that?!
Here is the order for the Blog Hop, so be sure to jump around to each of the designers to see more Christmas in July – we’ll have you in the mood too – I promise ;-)

Oh my, these projects are so gorgeous, Becca!! I, for one, love to see Christmas cards and gifts now. This is the time of year I start to plan my Christmas cards and build a prototype. Hopefully, I’ll start making them in August… or September ;) Thanks for sharing all your beautiful creations.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…everywhere we go! LOL I so love your creations!
Becca, I am so glad I am not the only one who loves Christmas all year ’round! :o) I get teased about it but I don’t even care.
Love your card and snowflake ornament! You do Christmas right, everytime!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
This card is beautiful! I’d love to know what you used for the lacey border around the snowflake. You do beautiful work!
Beautifully done. Just what I needed to get jump started on the holidays which will be here before we know it. It’s hard to think about Christmas when we are having a heat wave in San Diego, CA., but you really do know how to get me in the mood to start thinking about the holidays. Thanks.

This is a beautiful card. I love your blog and I wish I had the talent and time (or motivation) to try some of your creations – maybe someday but for now I will just keep on admiring your site and thanking you for sharing the instructions and the beautiful creations!
Ohh……………………… I love this card and ornament.
I love the colors……if it is pink you can’t go wrong in my book.
Just beautiful. This does get me in the mood to think about Christmas.
Refreshing…. as it is in the mid 90’s here today.
Thank you for sharing your designs. They are great just like each one you make.
love your cards , It made me start making winter cards last night, I usually start in Sept. after our big stamp show. I make 300 cards for the childrens hospital each year along with the crards for our homebound from church and then the family cards so I usually make about about 100 of each design with a total of about 500 I love the new Just Rite snowman for the kids and the snowflakes for the adults, ( adding on the cancer center this year as my mom passed away last month.)
Love all that you do……
I love the card.
Could you please tell me the name or the paper pack name for the white lacey paper around the snowflake. I think you said anna griffin but I can not find it anywhere.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
I love the delicate look.
Sallyann Mettler
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Great looking snowflake projects! Thanks for sharing.
Jan Castle
You do such stunning work! I love the ornament so much.
A pretty card. Love the snowflake ornament!
This card is gorgeous. I love how you incorporated the snowflake . However, I can’t figure out how you cut the “Snowflake Pendant as a frame” ??? I pulled up a screen shot of it and Snowflake Wonder and compared them to your card and I am still puzzled. Care to enlighten me :)
another gorgeous creation Becca!!
I wish they carried all the amazing spellbinder designs at HL so I could get the locally but they don’t
You just keep on inspiring me. I’ll keep coming back and drooling over your creations!
thank you for sharing
Just love this card and I am too ready for christmas I mean christmas is every day but it is good to be in a giving spirit as you are God bless you and your family.
Oh my gosh this is FABULOUS _ love it – darn – now I have to go buy another spellbinders pendant LOL Thanks Becca!
beautiful card and even better with the ornament as a bonus.
Oh. Oh. Oh…that’s GORGEOUS!
‘simply’ four snowflakes…….good grief girlfriend, nothing you do is simple….just simply incredible! Soooo beautiful.
Wow! How beautiful. Can’t wait to get the Spellbinder snowflake and try this. I just love your work.
Just gorgeous!!
I need to be thinking about Christmas and maybe this will cool us down in Hot & Humid Tennessee! Great card, Becca.
These are gorgeous, Becca! Love all the snowflake goodness!
Oh My, Oh My!!! Becca you ALWAYS do the most exquisite work and once again this is absolutely stunning!!!
Becca, This design are so beautiful. I got so excited about these designs, that my spirits dropped when I found out I couldn’t get the dies until August. The snow flake and the Heirloom Ornament dies are my favorite of all the new ones coming out in August. The operator that I talked to at Spellbinders Headquaters told me that all of these dies will be available August 1st. Believe me when I tell you that there is a posted note above my computer with the item numbers and the number to call Spellbinders with my order. Keep those wonderful designs coming.
Beautiful projects Becca, it’s so nice to see how the different companies are making things that go so well with the other. I’m loving that ornament. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Another fabulous project Becca. I always look forward to seeing your next creation. You give us so much inspiration. Really loved your projects on the Spellbinder blog hop too. That Spellbinder snowflake is a must have and the JustRite stamps work so well with it.
Becca, Seriously girl, you just blow me away with your gorgeous work! I don’t know how you do it…..but everything you create is just a beautiful work of art!
So pretty, so love the ornament, the pearl and crystal beads is a neat touch!
I get so excited when I visit your page (daily) because I know I will see something truly amazing – I am never disappointed!!! You are a very talented lady and I so appreciate the time and effort you make to share your talents – thank you!
Please give us a tutorial on this Snowflake card!!! I can’t figure out how you did the background with the new snowflake template!
Lovely Card…
Gosh Becca! You are such an inspiration! God bless!
Becca you are phenomenal. Gorgeous! As usual.
Blessings
Bernie
