Joy for a Christmas Card!

Hello & welcome! It's Thursday so I checked out the new Just Us Girls challenge after I caught up on the Young & the Restless (US television soap opera). Sue is hosting Challenge #753 where she chose the word JOY for Word Week. I love using the word joy whether stamped or die cut - here's my card:


Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts Bermuda;
Sunny Studio Critter Country;
My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas;
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Stamps - Hero Arts K5852 Joy Burst
Dies - Hero Arts Tag Frame Infinity Dies (retired)
Other - Copic Markers; 3M foam tape

I immediately thought about a woodblock JOY stamp I've had for over 10 years & haven't used in quite a while. Took some searching through the stamp boxes but I found it!! Stamped & colored the image, then die cut with a tag frame. Die cut a buffalo plaid panel and added it to an A2 card with a strip of gold striped paper that matched the coloring. Popped the JOY label atop with foam tap. Quick and easy!!

I'll also add my card (third and final) to the November We Love Stamping Challenge where they're doing Christmas & to Merry Little Christmas Challenge #59 where Anything Christmas Goes.

Thanks for stopping & enjoy your day!!
