"Joy" Card



Hi everyone! Getting closer to Christmas . . . . . is everyone ready? Certainly not me. Why is it when you're a kid, time goes so slow and Christmas takes forever to get here. Then as a cruel joke, when you're an adult and you'd like more hours in your day Christmas just seems to sneak up on you. So not fair!

Oh well, on to the business of crafting . . . . .  . The tree for this card is made with the Martha Stewart scoring board with a 3.5"x 6.5" piece of green paper and scoring in .25" increments. Then I fan folded it and glued the top to shape my tree. The snowflake adhered to the top is a button which, along with the white chipboard letters are glittered. The poinsettia is also a button glued onto the "O". The tree trunk is a small piece of brown paper folded like the tree. Card is finished off with three silver dew drops in the top right corner. The background paper and the tree paper is from BoBunny's Father Christmas Collection. There is a lot of dimension to this card and can be seen better in the photo below.


I love the little cherub looking out from behind the tree in the background paper. So cute!

Hope everyone is watching the tags that Tim Holtz is doing on his blog. They are fantastic and he really goes into detail to show you all his techniques. Take a hop over and see them if you haven't done so already. Thanks for visiting.
