JOY w/Whimsy Stamps

Hello to all my wonderful and creative blog friends, and thanks so much for visiting me here today.  I hope you'll also stop by my Instagram Page and FOLLOW me there.  The card I'm sharing today was SO much fun to make.  It uses a few awesome products from Whimsy Stamps and it captures the JOY and sweetness of Christmas and the Holiday Season.

I used basic white cardstock for this card, and I inked everything with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  The frame was cut using the fantastic Scallop Six A-2 Die.  I inked every little frame and then stamped each one using different images from the Dash Away Stamp Set.  How cute!  Next, I used the Joy Word Dies to cut the letters JOY which I also inked.

The holly and berries in the center of the ornament (the O in JOY) are from the Fadoodles Holly Stamp Set.  I painted them with Tim Holtz Inks and hand cut them before placing them on the ornament.  I added glitter to the top of the ornament, and I used 3-D Foam Tabs to raise all the JOY letters to give it dimension.  Some accents with my white pen were the finishing touch.

You're always going to find amazing stamps, dies, stencils, embossing folders, and so much more when you shop at Whimsy Stamps.  They have oodles of wonderful Christmas products and goodies for every occasion and season.  Thanks again for visiting me today and have a wonderfully creative week.

I'll be playing along in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says Anything Goes - Sponsored by My Favorite Things (another favorite of mine).

Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge - Challenge #77  There were so many great elements in the inspiration photo that inspired me, and I used lots of fun images on my card as well.

Blessings,

Karen
