Sounding Joy Card in New Colors, Plus a Snowman Card

The card I posted the other day looked a little more "Easter-y" than "Christmas-y," so I decided to change the ink and ribbon to Rich Razzleberry.  I think this card looks more Christmas-y now.

And now, here's a cute little snowman card.  This card uses the  "Merry Winter" stamp set.

Stamp set:  Merry Winter.  Colors:  Real Red, Whisper White, Wild Wasabi.  Accessories: Silver Glimmer Paper, 1" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Snowburst embossing folder (Holiday Mini Catalog).

Both of these cards demonstrate that just a little bit of Silver Glimmer paper goes a long way in dressing up a card. 

There's still time to sign up to come to my $1 Christmas Cards class tomorrow.  I'm already cutting 60 cards, so what's a few more?!  Join us for this easy, fun class.  RSVP by tonight.  Just e-mail me at [email protected].

The Sounding Joy Christmas Card

Let earth receive her King!  One of my favorite Christmas carols is Joy to the World, which might explain why I love this stamp set so much.  The Sounding Joy is available in our Holiday Mini Catalog,  page 23. 

My lucky club members will be making this card tomorrow morning!  Ask me about joining my once-monthly 10:00 am Wednesday card club.  We have a blast!

Stamps:  The Sounding Joy, Crosses of Hope (stamped on the back of the Glimmer paper as a template for the cross).  Colors:  Whisper White, Old Olive.  Accessories:  Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Tasteful Trim Bigz XL die, Silver Glimmer Paper (Holiday Mini Catalog, p. 41), Whisper White 5/8" Satin Ribbon.
