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!
Hope your granddaughter gets better soon . I think the second base card goes will the topper.

ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteOh, 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

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

ReplyDeleteI 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!!
ReplyDeleteHope your granddaughter is feeling better.

I like the silver card the most! I just don't like brown.

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
