JOY Card

Again another clean and simple card, this one was really easy to do. 

I started off making a poinsettia in red paper using the Sue Wilson Poinsettia die set.  This is going to by my ‘O’ in JOY.

I then used a ‘J’ and a ‘Y’ from a big alphabet set of dies, and on a card panel, I put the poinsettia flower in the middle then spaced the two other letters out until they looked right in spacing, and then cut those out with my die machine. 

I put some craft foam onto the back of the card panel, and then found a couple of scraps of Christmas paper and put them on the card base, so that you can see it through the ‘J’ and the ‘Y’.  I mounted this all on a red card base. And that was it finished.  Pretty easy one this time.  You could turn this into a shaker card with the two outside letters if you wanted to. 

I’m starting to second guess myself with all these Clean and Simple cards, is it getting a little boring for my watchers.  I will have to try and do at least one that is a bit more fancy!  I think it is a phase I am going through at the moment with my card making, so it has just overflowed into my Christmas Cards.  Usually I do really fancy ones!

I have a video of making the card.
