Christmas Cards Galore - WOYWW 10-28-15

Another Wednesday is upon us - time to check out our workdesks! With the holidays fast approaching, I have been working on more Christmas cards. 




This week's selections have a more secular theme, with the word Joy on the cover. I used my very low tech Fiskars Scrap Boss to emboss the snowflakes and also stencil the word Joy and the holly. 


However, since I was having trouble deciding on the color of the base, I decided to make two!


As you can see from the top photo, they are stamped inside with Have A Holly Jolly Christmas (which song is now stuck in my head!). So, what do you think? Personally, I like warm colors better, so I think I have to go with the brown. But I wanted to try the grey too, after seeing a particularly lovely card that was grey and white on Facebook. After taking the pictures last night, I decided they both look a little plain, so I'm going to add some bling on the corners or sides of the fronts.

Now I should go. We have a sick baby in the house (granddaughter) and I'm not sure if I or the father is taking her and her mom to the doctor. I'm going to try to squeeze in a little more sleep until the decision is made. 

Happy WOYWW! Be sure to check out http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ to see some very talented crafters!

  3. Hi Suzanne,
    Oh, I hope your granddaughter gets better. I agree with you regarding the cards - definitely like the brown one.

    Now, I have a confession. I've knitted only two vests and this sweater is more of a vest. I'm knitting it in the round so I won't have to sew it together. The pattern isn't written for knitting it in the round so we'll see what happens.

    Thank you for visiting me already!
    Happy WOYWW
    Hugs, Kay (40)

  4. I like the brown also more, but maybe when you add some more to the grey that changes. Hope your granddaughter is feeling better.

  6. I like your cards, but if I had to make a choice I would go with the warmer brown. You could always brighten them up with some stickles!!
    Hope your granddaughter is feeling better.

  8. I think both cards are pretty. Bling will definitely bring the grey one to light more. Sending healing blessings to baby. Creative Blessings! ~Kelly #41
