More joy - CASE from Carissa

Hi there - I'm back with the cursive JOY from SSS; see previous card HERE; these cards were CASE'd from Carissa Wiley (Sprinkled with Glitter)!

I stamped the paint strips with various Distress Inks, die cut the joy but then also cut it multiple times from white card stock to make the two cards. The leaves and berries are from Hero Arts Christmas Trimmings set. I stamped the leaves and berries with THIS background stamp; also used it on the side of the green card base.

Thanks for stopping by; hope you have a GREAT weekend ahead!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Did you see this week's color throwdown (ctd466)?  Such beautiful fall colors, I absolutely adore them-and they aren’t colors I normally use when creating. But that’s half the fun right; giving you a chance to step out of your comfort zone and create something new and different. Even more amazing? I didn’t create with florals! LOL

I used this fun stamp set from Avery Elle, Brushed-I used distress inks to stamp the stripes at different lengths and at this point I totally changed my plan, and used the fun funky blueprints to cut the main panel. I then embossed the happy birthday and splatters in Ranger gold. The 'happy birthday' didn't pop much, so I added a shadow with a white gel pen, layered it on some sparkle gold from MFT, and then created a top panel embossing the stripes and highlighting with gold Delicata ink.

I mounted everything on a top folding card base, and decorated the inside also. Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great week!

Hugs!
