Christmas in July tutorial

Merry Christmas Gypsies!

"What's that?" you ask? "Isn't this only July?"

Well yes it is. But all last week Authentique was celebrating Christmas in July - highlighting our new holiday paper collection "Festive".

I had so much fun celebrating, that I couldn't stop! So I went a little crazy and created a "festive" paper chain. And because I was having so much fun with that, I made a video tutorial to help you get in the Christmas-in-July-spirit! 

So are you ready? Well let's get Festive!
