Joy in Making Cards

Hello! I am trying to catch up with some February challenges that I want to enter.  I made this very CAS Christmas card for the CAS Christmas Challenge which has the theme Joy.  I used a freebie stamp from a magazine that I have had about 3 years. Simply stamped the word with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold EP on white cardstock and added two stripes of red foil using double sided tape to attach.  Finished with a GKD Red Velvet card base and a Red Nail Head to the center of Joy.

Wreath Card

Hello!  Back with another wreath card -this one in Black and White.  I used Gina K Design stamps from the Holiday Wreath Builder with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Added rows of black gems and pearls to finish the card.  Used circle dies to trim the wreath and add a frame of black CS before attaching to white card base.

Joy 2 Ways

 

 

Welcome!  Hope your day is filled with Joy!  I have made 2 versions of this card....the top one being very Clean and Simple.  I added more layers and some bling to the second one.  I used a digital image from Gina K Designs which is free at Stamp TV if you are a member.  I colored the image with Red, Greens, and Gold Copics.  I used a red pen to colored the smaller details on the ornament.  To give some shine I heat embossed the ribbon and red scrolls with Clear EP using a Versamark pen.  Also added some shine with Wink of Stella.  I used red mats cut with Spellbinder die on both cards.  I used GKD Green Card base and Gold gems on the second.
