Hey it's Joy and I'm kicking off my Christmas In July by collaging the cuties from the Koala Santa and Mrs Claus stamp set. You're probably asking what is collaging, are we getting out the modge podge and tearing paper into strips. Nope... but if that's your thing go for it. For me it means taking really cute die cut images and layering them up to create a cute little scene.

| Koala Santa and Mrs Claus |
I colored the each of the stamped images from the Koala Santa and Mrs Claus set with Copic markers in traditional Christmas colors and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies. I love a lot of layers on my cards, so I used a simple collage method to create the scene. Of course there was some foam tape used to create the dimension. Once it was complete, I thought the top of the card needed a little interest so I stamped one of the Christmas Banner stamps in black and cut it with the Banner die set which comes with three different sizes. I thought it would be fun to cut two of the banners using patterned papers to compliment the colors in my design. But what I love most is the Christmas Banner stamp set because you can create your own patterned paper!
