Hi friends, Samantha here! I couldn’t resist this time making a Harry Potter themed card!
So cute, right! Hedwig is the star and she’s bringing a Hogwarts acceptance letter with this birthday card! ha! I love it!


I stamped the images from Special Delivery, Critters in the Forest and Booyah. I colored in the owl and her accessories with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, but then I water-colored the trees! I think the water-coloring added a fun texture to the trees!


I used some Black Licorice Cardstock for the background. Then used some white stencil paste and the Lots of Stars Background Stencils to make the night sky. I love that bold look and how the trees POP against the black sky.


Then, I heat embossed the custom Hagrid inspired sentiment with Harold’s ABCs in white onto vellum, cutting it out with the Stitched Sentiment Banners.

Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Samantha!

Karin reached way back to 2011 to use the Critters in the Forest tree as a Christmas tree for her lovely design! She added gift packages from Toboggan Together and trimmed the tree with ornaments from Cheery Christmas. To add a special touch of shine, Karin covered the ornaments with Clear Glaze. The dramatic backdrop was created with Distress Ink in Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot. Finally, she added a sentiment from Offset Sayings: Christmas.

I hope that Karin’s beautiful Christmas card has inspired you to create some Christmas in July cards! Be sure to link them up by 11:59PM ET on Sunday, August 6. Click HERE to see the challenge post.

Thank you so much for creating this gorgeous inspiration, Karin!
