Merry Monday #218, Joy

I love how the Merry Monday challenge is helping me get my Christmas cards done.  Hopefully by the time I need to send them, I'll have enough otherwise it will be crunch time. LOL

This week the inspiration was plaid.  I have to admit I am just not a plaid person. I don't like them at all, and I have no idea why.  So, I didn't buy the DSP with all the plaids, go figure.  I decided to make my own, simply ran my paper throught the big shot then put it back in facing the other direction, and didn't use the #2 tab so it wouldn't flatten the first run.  It's a little hard to see in the photo, the white is a big bright.  But it worked.  I tried using my bryer and running over each run with first Cherry Cobbler then the second run with Emerald Envy, but that turned out ugly. Yuck!   White won out.

Colors:  Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Emerald Envy.  Gold foil for the sentiment.

Stampin Up Guest stamper Holiday card

If you didn't come from my upline Mary Fish, this is the card I made for her to post as her guest stamper for today.

The wreath is a great new item from the brand new Holiday catalog, it's photopolymer stamps so you can stamp over the top of each layer and see exactly how to put it.  This wreath has 3 layers of just the basic wreath, then the flowers, ribbon and words, how cool is that?
It also come has a die cut set and is bundle priced!

The base card is Cherry Cobber, and I used gold foil for the new this year, striped scallop thinlit. Isn't it elegant?  The white paper doily added just the right touch.
Here is a close up:
