Christmas in July with The Project Bin - Day 1!



Welcome to The Project Bin’s premiere Christmas in July Blog Hop!
We are so glad you are here!  
  The elves at The Project Bin have been very busy :)
For the next 2 days,  July 15 and 16, the design team will be showcasing the stamps and dies from the store and bringing you a hand-crafted Christmas! 
 You’ll see Christmas cards, holiday projects and ideas to inspire creativity to jump start your holiday planning. 


 Our sleigh ride will take you to each designer’s blog where you can peek at what they have showcased using The Project Bin’s stamps and dies. 
 AND since the holidays are known for gift giving, 2 lucky winners will receive one of the 2 generous The Project Bin gift certificate giveaways to use in the store!
If you are new to The Project Bin stamps and dies, you are in for a real treat!  
    The Project Bin offers clear stamps and metal dies ~ something for everyone. 
  


The hop begins at The Project Bin’s inspiration blog and has the full line up.
If you arrived from Barb's amazing blog, you are in the right place!

For my stop on the hop, I'm showing you a handmade Christmas project.
My son was super lucky to visit a private island for a weekend
 and brought home a piece of beautiful coral for me 
as he knows I love all things ocean ♥


I wanted to find a neat way to showcase the coral,
so I added it to a tall candle holder, filled it with sand, and added jute twine!
This is such a wonderful way to 'bring home the holidays'
and make gift giving special and personalized.


The tag is made from kraft cardstock, fiskars punch, gingham ribbon.
I ran it through the Cuttlebug with a nestabilities die, cropping off the the bottom die.
The Christmas Blessings is stamped in Stazon
and is from the Luke 2 stamp set

Next up, head over to Angela's amazing blog to see what she has to inspire you. 
Make sure to leave a comment for each of the stops on the hop ~
 you won’t want to miss it!

Here is the full hop line up for today:

Remember, Christmas isn't about things costing a lot,
it's about giving from the heart :)

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
