Global Creative Connection Hop - July 2026 - Christmas in July

Friday, 24 July 2026

Today I'm hopping on Instagram with the Global Creative Connection! We are a group of Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from the UK, France, US and Canada who have a passion for paper crafts! This month our theme is Christmas in July!

I used the Festive Cheer Bundle from the July Online Exclusives to make this pretty card along with the Luxe Specialty Paper to add a little shimmer! I love the pine bough die in this bundle!
