Joyful Days Christmas Cards



Joyful Days 4"x6" Christmas Cards

Every year I have a special Christmas card class based on a paper pack. This year my class in based on the Joyful Days Memories and More Card Pack. The card pack has cards in 3" x 4" and 4" x 6" with lovely images printed on both sides. A few of the sides have lines for journaling. You can use these cards to make greeting cards or scrapbook pages. 

For the cards that I designed, some of them have 4" x 6" card bases (picture above) and some have 5. 1/2" x 4 1/4" card bases (picture below). The card base colors are Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow. Some of the tags and die cut images use Crumb Cake card stock. The pine needles that you can see in the background on two of the cards are die cut from Crumb Cake and then watercolored with Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie ink. The pine cones can be die cut from Pecan Pie card stock or from Crumb Cake card stock and then watercolored with Pecan Pie ink.

I used the Branching Out stamp and dies bundle and the Pine Tree Trimmings stamp set on these cards. Some of the words are from these stamp sets and some are from stamp sets that are now discontinued. Same thing for the ribbon and embellishments -- some are still current and some are now discontinued. 

The Joyful Days M&M card pack comes with 6 sets of identical cards. There is one M&M card that I used on 2 different cards. So if you make this exact set of Christmas cards, you can make 54 Christmas cards from this one card pack. Of course you can mix and match the cards as well, so your total number of cards may be a bit different, but that is a lot of Christmas cards from one card pack!

Spring Hues of Happiness

Spring Hues of Happiness Sorry it's been a while since I posted a card idea. This spring has just been crazy busy. I had this card made 2 months ago but am just now writing about it. Unfortunately the designer paper is now retired, but maybe you already have some or can use something similar. This is a really easy card to make. The card base is Daffodil Delight card stock (5 1/2" x 8 1/2" then folded in half). On the left side is a strip of Hues of Happiness DSP (2 3/8" x 4 3/4"). The Basic White card stock (2 3/8" x 3 3/4") was embossed with the Meadow Moments embossing folder , but any embossing folder can be used. The big flowers and extra leaves were cut from a different sheet in the Hues of Happiness DSP. The top flower was glued straight to the embossed white paper and the bottom two flowers were adhered with Dimensionals . The words were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a small strip of Daffodil Delight card stock . A smaller banner w...

Snowflake Snowman Card

With the ice, sleet and freezing rain covering most of Texas this week, I thought I would post one of my wintery cards. I like snow and cold weather, but am glad it doesn't last very long in Texas. The temps are supposed to be back to the 60s by this weekend, so we don't have to wait very long for nice weather again.  Snowflake Snowman Card Unfortunately most of the unique products used on this card are now discontinued, but maybe you already have these products or something similar that you can use. The card base is Balmy Blue card stock and the next layer is Night of Navy card stock . The layer right behind the snowflake paper is Basic White card stock with Balmy Blue ink lightly brushed over it using a Blending Brush .  The snowflake layer was die cut from Storybook Gnomes DSP with Snowman dies . The snowflake paper was cut the desired size, then the Snowman dies cut out the center part leaving snowflakes on the sides. Peace on Earth is from the Hope & Peace cling s...
