My personal cardmaking philosophy is that it is never too early to start making holiday cards and today I'm joining with some awesome crafters who agree! We are hopping today with a little Essentials by Ellen Christmas in July cardmaking hop!
If you are hopping with us, you should be arriving from the AMAZING Sandy Allnock's blog! And if you want to start the hop, head over to the Ellen Hutson blog.
My card today is all about sweets! I love candy and I had so much fun making little paper sweets to top an infinity shaker. You can see how it came together in this video...
Before you hop along (though I'm the last stop), we have a little prize! Tell me when & what you will be crafting for the holidays because one random & lucky commenter will win $25 to the EH shop! To enter for a chance to win, make sure to leave comments at each stop along the hop! Comment before Wednesday, July 31st at 11:59pm PST. Winners will be notified by email. And one last thing, if you want to pick up this sweet Essentials by Ellen Ginger House stamp, it's on sale this weekend! Check out the other holiday goodies on special HERE!
Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by! Carly

Wow Carly! You've put so much thought into this card! This is thinking out of the box, for sure & I LOVE it! I enjoyed watching your video & it sounded like you enjoyed the process of making this delightful card. I think the first Christmas card I'm going to make will involve trees, snow & a couple of deer so it will be a peaceful looking one when it's done. I hope...
This is so yummy. Love how you did the eyes. I have already started making Christmas cards, tags and hope to get started on some snow globes next month.
So super sweet... I love gum drops. Especially spiced gum drops. I am having some issues about my holiday cards this year. I am going to have carpal tunnel surgery on both hands in late September. I may not send all home made cards this year. However I am getting some fabulous ideas on this hop even if I can't use them till next year. One can only hope for the best, right....
Now THIS is a finale! What an enchanting candyland holiday inspired card! Your video was so cute - love the band-aid, hee hee, they look like mine! #momlife! The 10 handmade googly eyeballs are a perfect creation! Such a sweet shaker card - Bravo! TFS!
OMG this is the cutest card I've ever seen. Love the techniques you used so very much a learning tutorial. Thank you for sharing your talents and inspiration. Just absolutely amazing!
I shouldn't admit it but I'm a procrastinator. I won't be making a decision on my cards until around the first of Dec. I don't put a lot of decorations out anymore, so I probably won't make anything new, other than my cards. Love you candy scene - so much detail. thanks for sharing txmlhl(at)yahoo(dot)com
Such a "sweet" card. Lol. I loved all the candies and how cleverly you made them. And Wow, The eyes turned out so well! Thanks for sharing all the tips.
You were having so much fun making this card, love all the candy ideas. Neat idea of the shaker pocket too. Simple and less complicated than the sandwich type. The eyes worked very well. Would like to do a snow globe design this year...hopefully starting in August. I usually make several different designs as I get bored just sticking to one design.
Such a cute card! I love the wrappers to make the candy even more realistic. I make all of the Christmas cards we send, and I like to start early, but it doesn't always happen that way. This year I hope to do some crafting for our first grandchild coming in September ... definitely a onesie, and maybe a stocking or cute hat or something else.
This card is just the sweetest!! Love those candies!! I will properly start my gift tags in August and my cards in September. I have developed a lot of ideas from all of the blog hops I have done this year. Everyone has been so inspirational.
I am going to start my cards and gifts in August. There has been so much inspiration this month! Your card is beyond lovely. The detail is just fabulous. Tyfs!
Oh Miss Carly, you are so creative. My granddaughters would love this card. Thanks so much for sharing your heaps of talent. Aren't Essentials by Ellen sets just so great.
