Joy to the World

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a quick Christmas card designed with the new stamps and paper from the October release along with other stamps and supplies from Stamp Simply!  

Look at all those gorgeous stamps and coordinating dies in this new release!

I chose the Scripty Background Minis 2 set for my card- I love the fonts used as well as the four different verse sentiments in each stamp set.  The Scripty Background Minis are available individually- Scripty Background Minis 1 and Scripty Background Minis 2 or as a bundle (both sets in the bundle are pictured below). 

Also, I absolutely love the new Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad from Studio Light- so many pretty patterns for quick Christmas cards! Add a stamped sentiment and a bit of layering and you are finished!

I will be linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #513- #514 “Anything Goes” Challenge as well as the Watercooler Wednesday #326 “Helen’s All About Occasions” Challenge.  I am so far behind on creating Christmas cards, I am thankful that this one was fairly quick and easy :-)

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 the Sending Joy designer paper with an embossing powder tool and trim to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”.

Ink the Joy to the World background stamp from the Scripty Background Minis Set 2 with Versamark ink, stamp repeatedly (offsetting as you stamp) across the background, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, use a clear glitter marker to add shimmer to the trees and snow line, set aside.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the reindeer and Joy to the World ornament image from Farmhouse Christmas with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, carefully fussy-cut around the images.

 Layer onto another piece of white cardstock and fussy cut again (this gives the pieces a bit more strength).

Add a piece of silver cord to the ornament and mount the ornament onto the stamped background panel with dimensional foam (wrapping the ends of the cord behind the designer paper).

 Mount onto a piece of black cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

Add the reindeer image with dimensional foam and a looped bow from the silver cord to finish off the card.
