I'm back today with even more JOY to add to our holiday cards!
Pinkfresh Studios added this wonderful die, and hot foil plate to their holiday offerings this year - I jumped at the chance to make them mine!
First up - full disclosure: the embossed panels I've used today are ones found in my stash - a few bits and bobs are always leftover from one year and used the next. Please know that there are plenty of gorgeous embossing folders found HERE in the Doodlebugs shop!
Okay how about those that are foiled first...
How can something so simple seem so grand? Pinkfresh Studio has a JOY foil plate and coordinating die to cut it out - brilliant in my humble opinion! Quite a bit of bang for one's buck!
I've added one of those pretty Altenew Snowflakes, and a little gold metallic pearl from Pinkfresh.
Another simple design made pretty special with red foil and a dash of embossing - the little tree is another found bit from my stash - bet you have just the thing in your stash, too!
Here I've taken a simple snowflake embossed panel, added more snowflakes from Altenew, JOY cut from woodgrain paper and bumped it up a notch with puffy embossing powder from WOW - toss in a sprinkling of PF jewels and
you have a joy-filled sparkling card!
This one starts with embossed kraft cardstock that has been swiped with a white pigment ink. I've cut that JOY from one of HoneyBee's Vitamin Sea patterned papers - looks like windswept snow to me! Another snowflake and jewel to dot the O!
Use all of those leftovers - and think ahead so every
scrap of this precious paper is used!
Until next week - stay crafty, my friends!
