Tree-mendous Holiday Wishes -- for Joy's Life

Hello, blog friends. I hope you had a great weekend.  We had a day of beautiful, light snow yesterday and it put me in the holiday spirit.  Today is my last post for the Joy's Life Design Team this term. I've really enjoyed the two terms I've served on this team, and hope to continue again in the future.

Our theme this week is "It Sparkles & Shines".  With that in mind, I made a Christmas card, and added lots of bling!

 

 

I used the Joy's Life Stamp Set, "Oh Christmas Puns" on this card.  

the sentiment is embossed with white embossing powder to really make it stand out.

 

I found this cutting file in the Silhouette Online Store. Contrasting colored paper, bling, brads with bling, some 3D foam squares, and it was a wrap.

Thanks for supporting me through my Joy's Life design team projects.  It's been a great ride!



Holiday TrEATs for Joy's Life Design Team

Oh, oh.  Christmas keeps getting closer!  This week, the Joy's Life design team is featuring 3D Christmas projects. I need lots of little treat boxes and bags to give away for little gifts, so this worked out well for me. Here's my 3D creation:

 

 

I used sentiment stamps from both Joy's Life "Wintery Puns" and "Oh, Christmas Puns."  You can find both of them, and all of Joy's wonderful stamps here in her store.

 

 

 

I cut the treat box out on my Silhouette.  It's a cutting file from The Cutting Café.  It's the test tube - candy holder box.  The candy tube and wood buttons are retired items from Close To My Heart.  The twine and mini clothespin are from Timeless Twine.  The hearts were punched out with Creative Memories punches.  Papers are from Echo  Park -- Dots & Stripes Christmas.

Well, the days are flying by, and I've got more Christmas gifts to make, so I better get busy!  Thanks for visiting!



Santa's Coming!

Hello, blog friends.  I'm posting today for Joy's Life design team. Our theme this week is "Ho, Ho, Ho".  So, it's time to jump into Christmas, and I did with this card -- of Santa, set to jump down the chimney.

The card is a square 5x5. This Santa silhouette  is in the Silhouette Online Store.  I found the perfect sentiment for Santa's plunge on the Joy's Life stamp set "Oh Christmas Puns".

 

 

Here's a close up of the sentiment, ribbon, and twine.

 

 

The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM -- The Seasons Bundle.  The twine is from The Twinery.  I used a Spellbinders die for the tag.

There! One Christmas card done!
