Christmas In July: Spray of Joy

Hello…. I am back with more Christmas in July project. Even though July is almost done, it does not mean I won’t be sharing Christmas projects in August, or September, or October, etc… 😀 stay tune for more.

So, today’s project is a clean and simple Christmas card with Spray of Joy stamp set from Close To My Heart. And for the card backgrounds, I used retired paper packet, Snowhaven.

I stamped it with my MISTI 5 times on the 2.75″ x 4″ Black cardstock with VersaMark™ Ink Pad. Then I added some Ranger™ Princess Gold Embossing Powder and heat them up with my Craft Heater. After they all were embossed, I cut the tail using my Non-Stick Micro-Tip scissors.

I tied up some of the Natural Twine from May Arts Ribbon and added some red gems from Studio G – Hampton Art. Then I added them on the card bases using 3D foam tape.

They are done. I made 5 cards in 30 minutes! Things I learned today about mass-producing cards in less than an hour are:

  • Pick one design or sketch
  • Pick one stamp set
  • Pick one color combo or pick one patterned paper
  • Pick 1 or 2 embellishments that will give extra wow to your cards.
  • and… MISTI tool is awesome for mass-producing!

Do you like create card sets or individual card? Do have any tips for mass-producing cards? Please feel free to share with us in the comment 🙂

I hope you are inspired today to create handmade projects for Christmas this year! Thank You so much for visiting and have fabulous blessed day!

  6. These are just gorgeous Helen. What a wonderful choice of PP – love the Nordic look of it. The Spray of Joy image embossed in gold is wonderful, and the red jewels set it off beautifully. Thanks for linking up and playing with us at HLS July Christmas Challenge.
