New Shady Tree Studio Christmas in July release, and another give away!

This Christmas in July is bringing loads of fun new holiday art to all of you who love to get ahead in your preparations. I am really excited about what Nancy has created for us this month, it is so fresh and fun, with a multitude of uses!

“Embrace Christmas”

Julia paper pieced this card, and I thought it was perfect to share as our paper piecing challenge has just come to and end, isn’t this so clever!

A candle in the window can be symbolic for so many things, but it really reminds me of those people who can’t join us as we celebrate and a way that we can recognize that we wish we had them with us at that time.  What does it symbolize for you?

“Home for the Holidays”

This card was designed by Kristine, and she has captured that symbolism beautifully. So elegant and heart warming!

And this set is full of delightful primitive images that are versatile and easy to use alone or together!

“Just Believe”

This card that Sherrie made is darling, and would be a snap to produce in large quantities! So inspiring!

So now it is time for a little Christmas in July for some lucky stamper leaving me a comment before Friday at noon about whether you like a white Christmas or not. I will be randomly selecting a winner on Friday afternoon who will receive all three of these new Shady Tree Studio designs!

Happy Stamping!

    Oh, I dream of a white Christmas every year, but we never get any here in TX. Maybe if you dream with me, it might happen this year? :-)

    Super cute stamp sets! That Santa is just adorable!

    I love a white Christmas, however last year in Portland, Oregon, where we really don’t have snow very often, it lasted 2 weeks and grew to 15-20 inches in places (alot for us, okay? and the city’s inability to deal with the required plowing!) and we didn’t have our family celebration until New Year’s Day! Having said all that, I would love it every year! And I would most certainly feel like it was Christmas in July if I were to win these three fabulous stamp sets!!!

    lol! who doesn’t love a white Christmas!! Unfortunately the last time we have a nice snow fall on Christmas here in NJ, I was too young to remember! We did get flurries one year though. It is much more common to have a white Easter here, haha! Fabulous releases - I have so many ideas for them already! :D

    I absolutely love a white Christmas!!! Christmas is my favourite time of year, and I live in a city which is, er, one of the coldest cities in the Northern Hemisphere, so I’ll always have a white Christmas as long as I spend it here, and that’s ok because I do love Winter and the colder it is outside, the cozier you feel inside! ;-) Great stamps!!!

    This is going to sound funny, but since I live in Michigan I really don’t want a white Christmas. Here is why. Last winter it started snowing in November. We travel to Tennessee and Alabama for Christmas to be with our extended families. I see enough snow all winter so Christmas is my BREAK from the snow. Luckily, even if it snows in TN, it is so light and melts so fast it is not much of an annoyance. So give me a warmer Christmas any day!!!

    OH, how I love a snowy white Christmas! Here in eastern Canada we are almost always assured of a white day but we had a rainy one once. That once was too much for me-lol. I love it when the snow is falling -it’s just soo pretty.
    Besides, Sanata and his reindeer need it for the sleigh ;)

    White Christmases are great but we lived in Texas for awhile and no snow was o.k. esp when you remember the ice and cold that goes along with. But, we are in Iowa again and almost always have snow. Now, if we could get it not to snow on the sidewalks, driveways and streets that would be fantastic. I guess I am adaptable. I love the new stamps! These are SO ME! Love the card samples and can’t wait to see more! What fun I could have with these! Thanks for sharing and a chance to win!

    Those are beautiful stamps! Thanks for the chance at winning them. I have grown up with lots of snow at Christmas, Lake effect from Lake Michigan. The few Christmas’s without snow were always a little disappointing.

    I live in Australia with my Canadian husband and he always says “it doesn’t feel like Christmas” (which totally breaks my heart), so I think that no matter where you are the images of a white Christmas really help bring out the Christmas spirit.

    Very cute! Great idea - get started on Christmas cards now! How many times have I said I’d do that? If I win these, that task will get done ahead of time, for sure and for certain.
