I am participating in today's hop.  I love making Christmas cards, whether it's in July or December or August -- doesn't matter.  You can't have too many Christmas cards in your stash!  Today's tutorial was how to make a gift box with Christmas cards in it.   Here's my project:

Here's a photo of just the cards:

I used several of the cardinal images from Christmas Cardinals, along with several different supplies from one of the MFP Premium Paper Craft Packs.  If you haven't gotten one of these packs, you're missing something.  They include cardstock, coordinating designer papers, and lots of embellishments.  Everything you need (except adhesive) to make quite a few different cards.

Thanks for stopping by my blog during our Christmas in July celebration.  I'm participating in a total of four of the hops, so I hope you come back again soon.  I'll have projects on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
