CCMC357 Lots of Joy

August 6, 2015 By Connie | 10 Comments

As I’m anxiously waiting for my preorder from the Holiday Mini to arrive, I decided to use one of the holiday sets in the annual catalog, Lots of Joy, on my challenge card today!  Over on Create with Connie and Mary, we have a FUN sketch challenge for you to try!  Grab your stamps and play along!

And here’s my card!  I love that the Merry Moments Designer Paper has TRADITIONAL Christmas colors!  Don’t get my wrong…I love the non-traditional colors of some of the past Designer Papers we’ve had…but I always like having the option of traditional colors, too!  The new patterns in the Holiday Catalog are fun and whimsical, and I know you’ll love them, too!

 

CCMC367 Lots of Joy
Here are the details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Real Red cardstock, folded in half.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Old Olive cardstock.
  • The 1″, 3/4″ and 1/2″ strips were cut from Merry Moments DSP, then adhered diagonally across the front of the Old Olive cardstock as shown in the sketch.
  • The 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Whisper White has rounded corners using the Corner Punch and stamped with Merry Christmas from Lots of Joy stamp set in Real Red Ink.  It is popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Two trees from Lots of Joy  were stamped with Mossy Meadow ink on Old Olive cardstock, punched with the Tree Punch, then decorated with Red Sequins from the Brights Collection.
  • On top, two stars were punched from Gold Glimmer Paper with the Small Star Punch.  The trees were also popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

OK…your turn!  Let’s see what you can do!  Need more inspiration?  Check out what the Challenge Team did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    I love plaids for Christmas use and the trees are lovely dressed up in it for your card! What a great way to use the Christmas dsp for the background stripes too!
