  • Joy to the World

    A Christmas card with a diagonal split front using a new set and coordinating stencil, making it easy and quick to add color to the images. A matching die is great if you want to add some dimension or layer it onto a different background.

    A big congrats to Korimu, the newest Featured Stamper (FS874)! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout & divided front panel, but I used different images & dies, different colors & made mine a Christmas card.

    For my joyful bells, I stamped the image then used the coordinating stencil & the Color Fuse inks to sponge in the colors. It has a matching die, but I didn’t use it here. I took 2 leaf dies from a floral frame set & used them to cut the edge on a diagonal. After placing my panel on top of a larger green one, I positioned all the cut out leaf branches in place. I did some minor surgery on a couple of them to keep them from covering part of my greeting.

    I replaced the stamped Joy of the greeting w/ a die cut Joy to help bring some of the red into the corner & also help balance out the image, size wise, & not seem top heavy on the upper right.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Christmas Mini Slimline

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A 1 layer mini slimline Christmas card made with a few dies & modern color combo. Change up the color combo to customize for everyone on your list, then die cut all the pieces. You’ll have a stack of easy to assemble cards in no time.

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC935) & I chose In Honor of Design & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS to inspire me.

    My mini slimline card is pretty easy & clean & simple. I die cut the leaves & greeting out of heavy white & the holly berries & oak leaves out of red mirror card, then arranged them all as you see. Since my greeting die cuts are fairly large, placing them on an angle similar to my inspiration picture worked out great. Since it’s only one layer, it’s perfectly mailable w/o worrying about extra postage…just put it in a business envelope if you don’t have one for a mini slimline.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Joy Bells

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A die cut Christmas card w/ metallic gold bells, pierced background & a pretty designer paper strip. Add a die cut word & a pierced background to finish it. Change out the designer paper & make a lot of same but different Christmas cards. Great way to use up leftover strips or bands of pretty paper.

    A big congrats to Brenda, the newest Featured Stamper (FS864)! She has a sweet gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & Christmas theme, put I used different dies, paper strip instead of ribbon & pierced bg instead of embossed.

    My card was entirely die cut. The bells were cut out of 3 shades of brushed metallic gold & the clappers are brushed metallic bronze. I used a resized slimline die to cut the strip of designer paper, added narrow gold strips down the side, then die cut the green scallop edges w/ a mini slimline die & used just the 2 long edges.

    The holly, greenery & shadow for Joy were cut out of 2 different shades of dk green & the Joy was the lightest of the brushed gold. I used a diamond piercing die for the white panel & added some red gems instead of holly berries. I used the back of a small teaspoon on the back of the bells to push out the shape & make them appear more 3D.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
