A Christmas Song

Hey - why not sing Christmas music in April??! Chorus had to cancel our April 4th Spring show due to Covid-19 but hopefully we'll be able to hold our Christmas show!! Good time to start practicing... Anyway, the current challenge over at CAS Christmas is "Christmas Song" so I'm playing along with this card:

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; Paper Studio green and red;

BoBunny Yuletide Carol 6x6

Stamps - Hero Arts Color Layering Nordic Tree (with coordinating die)

Dies - Avery Elle Quilted Frame; Momenta Joy die (retired)

Other - puffy star sticker from Target

I had cut a white quilted frame to test it when I first bought the die set. Thought it would be fun to use it in a Scandinavian color scheme. The frame die also cuts a pierced oval and I used the white one long ago. Instead, for the song portion, I cut a frame with oval out of BoBunny Christmas music paper and used the oval in the white frame. Matted with a thin red layer onto a white card. I cut the JOY four times out of the same red and layered them for dimension. Done! The bit of music showing in the oval is Joy to the World so that's why I used JOY for a sentiment, rather than O Christmas Tree (a sentiment in the Nordic Tree set).

Since I had the frame cut out of the music paper, I decided to use it on another card. Although quite simple, I don't consider this one CAS simply because the paper is so busy! I left the oval open to the card base and filled it with the branch and bells. Decided to leave a sentiment off the front. The branch, bells, & bow come from Sunny Studios - a wonderful company out of Washington state whose supplies I've been using for years. I'd seen their Holiday Style set used by my friend Dawn here and couldn't resist ordering it, plus more supplies (check back on Easter for another creation). I'm entering this card into Darnell's NBUS challenge since this is my maiden voyage with this set.

Supplies: Paper - DCWV green A2 card; BoBunny Yuletide Carol 6x6;

That's it for today, friends - thanks for stopping! Hope you're staying well and safe!!
