Another Lots of Joy

Filed Under: Gallery, Project Gallery

Lots Of JoyJust had to share one more creation using the Stampin’ Up! Lots of Joy Stamp set. I know, I know, you are all over that new Holiday Catalog from Stampin’ Up. But, don’t forget, there are a lot of possibilities with this stamp set and the Merry Moments DSP!  And I love the “retro look” to both the font in the Lots of Joy Stamp set and the DSP.  Wish you a hip holiday season! Get Stampin’!

Here’s The Recipe:

Paper: Silver Slate, Cherry Cobbler, Many Merry Moments DSP
Inks: Cherry Cobbler
Embellishments: Silver Satin Ribbon
Tools: 1″ Square Punch, Circle Framlets


Lots of Joy, soon!

Well, now that convention is over it really is time to start thinking about the holidays! Right before convention I spent a great day at a crop with my Missouri Stampin’ Up peeps. I took a little time out from making swaps to play with the Lots of Joy stamp set in the main catalog. I figured I was going to be so distracted by what’s in the Holiday Catalog, that if I didn’t use this stamp set now, it might get overlooked in all the hoopla with the new stuff! I love plaid DSPs, I love the Tree Punch and for some weird reason, I like stamps that look like a Postage Stamp. So, I was in heaven making this card!

Here is the recipe:
Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
Inks: Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler
Stamp Set: Lots of Joy
Embellishments: Cherry Cobbler Striped Grosgrain Ribbon
Tools: Stampin’ Up Handheld Stapler(great tool!), Note Tag punch
