Joy to the World

There is nothing like beautiful scripted words to make a Christmas card

and that's exactly what you get with this gorgeous die

JOY TO THE WORLD

I also used another MUST HAVE die

SNOW FLURRIES

to make my card today.

I started off by cutting the Joy to the World die twice, once in deep pink card and once

in glitter card.

Having prepared my base card I adhered the pink die cut using  2 way glue.

I then applied the silver die cut, just off setting to get a shadowed effect.

I cut out loads of snow flurries using the same silver glitter card

and added to my card, finishing them off with a deep pink pearl.

I thought it would be nice to have these little mice singing below the wording,

a little mini  choir bringing Joy to the World!

I hope you enjoyed my project today.

The dies I have used are:

Papers are from DCWV

Stamp - Penny Black Holly Day Critters

Medium - promarkers

Money bags!

As we were getting our new door in today I had a little time to spend in the craft room and decided to get some Christmas money bags ready.

I love making these. They are so well suited to my Penny Black stamps which are a bit small for card making.

I have used my promarkers to colour them in but if you are going to try these make sure and put a piece of card inside in case the colour goes through to the back.

I am entering these into

The Fresh Batch, Winter Wonderland & Penny Black

Made this with three challenges in mind, its so great the way a lot of challenges are asking for similar things. For The fresh Batch I followed the lovely sketch, Winter Wonderland their theme is CHRISTMAS PRESENT and Penny Black want to see swirls.
I used paper from Dovecraft and DCWV, some cordinations card which I put through the swirl folder and then sanded. Stamped two PB images and one sentiment and coloured with pms and cut out and 3d onto the circles. Added sticky ribbon and a bow along with a border cut from MS punch. I attach ribbon to the circles with brads all from my stash.
