Joy to the World

 

Hi Friends!

This week we are celebrating Christmas in July at Stamp Simply! 

For the week long celebration, I decided to create a Clean and Simple (CAS) card using the Christmas Joy Bundle along with other dies/supplies from Stamp Simply.

As many of you that follow my blog know, I am working on making a card for each of the over 850+ sketches at Splitcoaststampers and I was able to incorporate the SC710 Sketch into the layout (I decided to create a CAS card so used scoring for the diagonal layers :-)).   

I also enjoy participating with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Tic-Tac-Toe #122 Challenge (Die Cut, Sentiment, Metallic), the Watercooler Wednesday Dawn’s Challenge #320 “All About Occasions” Challenge along with the Simon Says Wednesday “Emboss It” Challenge.

 If you have not had a chance to visit
the Stamp Simply blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of white cardstock, stamp the Christmas Joy ornament and ornament hanger images with Versamark ink, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, die cut with the coordinating Christmas Joy dies.

Score the upper left hand and lower right-hand corners of a folded white card panel (A2 size 4 ¼” x 11” folded in half).

De-static the panel with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Christmas Joy with Versamark ink, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut several sprigs from white and gold mirror cardstock using the sprig die from the Two Sprigs Dies (or the Floral Clusters and Sprigs Dies).

Add dimensional foam (or chipboard) to the back of the ornament and bow ornament hanger images.

Add the white and gold die cut sprigs onto the card front and adhere the ornament and ornament hanger onto the card front.

Add a pearl to the center of the word “Joy” to finish off the card.
