It is also CAS Christmas's 3RD BIRTHDAY this month, so come CELEBRATE with us!! There will even be prizes this month, so use whatever Christmas stamps, dies, or stencils you have along with the colors KRAFT, RED & WHITE and play along with us for a chance to win!
KRAFT, RED & WHITE remind me of Scandinavian colors, so that's the direction I went with my card using a SSS Big Joy die and a new to me stamp from the Colorado Craft Co. called Nordic Ornament...
I stamped the Nordic Ornament with Versamark ink on kraft cs with white embossing powder, and then die cut the "J" and "Y" from it. For the "O" I used a Altenew die set called Poinsettia 3D Die Set and die cut 3 of the smallest petals from red cs and then center from kraft cs. I adhered my letters (and Poinsettia) to a white panel that I die cut with The Greetery's Nordic Frame Dies, and then added a red layer behind that and attached it all to a white card base.
We hope you will join us this month celebrating our 3RD Birthday by playing along with our color challenge...Just remember to use only KRAFT, RED & WHITE (please limit your amount of neutrals and stick mostly with the challenge colors) on your CAS Christmas cards. The DT and our Special GD Gundi have amazing cards to share with you for inspiration this month, so check it all out right HERE and play along with us! This challenge is open till the 24th.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
I love how you've done the 'Joy' sentiment Marcia and what great colours. A really beautiful card x. Happy 3rd birthday to you and the team x.
ReplyDeleteThat little poinsettia in red really pops off the white and with the lovely J and Y letters in the kraft DP Marcia! Your white Nordic frame looks so pretty with the red panel beneath it! xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous framed card, Marcia! Must try and play along, Jo x
ReplyDeleteSuch a great design using the poinsettia as part of the sentiment Marcia, love the Nordic frame too, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteI like the pattern you stamped on your letters, they're so pretty! In fact the whole card is!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful die cut letters and such a pretty O as a poinsettia. Love the card ♥
ReplyDeleteLove the Nordic theme of the card - you're right, that colour combination does have a Nordic flavour. Love the framing of the "JOY". All round a fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Marcia! I LOVE the white embossed design on the J and Y ...so pretty. And perfect with the poinsettia as the "O". LOVE! xx
ReplyDeleteOh Marcia, this is lovely. I especially love that die cut frame. IT all goes together so nicely.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very beautiful card and I love the idea to use the poinsettia as a letter.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to be the guest designer this month and I congratulate you on your 3rd challenge blog birthday!
Oh it's so beautiful and so elegant... I love the embossed letters and they go perfectly with the red poinsettia
ReplyDeleteYou created such a gorgeous, rich, nordic folk look here, Marcia ... that bold poinsettia acting as the 'o' in one of my favourite words is a lovely touch ... and the framing is simply perfect! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful color palette and it goes perfectly with your Nordic theme. The stamped pattern on the letters is such a great detail not to be overlooked and the poinsettia completes the JOY perfectly. The touch of red bursting out from behind the frame is the icing on the cake. Beautifully done Marcia!
ReplyDeleteMarcia, what a wonderful way to use these colors - they always read homespun to me, but you've put a beautiful Nordic spin on them today!
ReplyDelete=]
I love how you've stamped on the letters and used that gorgeous die cut poinsettia for the O! The Nordic frame is perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour Poinsettia is so pretty, Marcia! I love how you used it for the "O" in your sentiment, and how the red peeks through the pattern on the Nordic frame! Beautiful Christmas card! xx
ReplyDeleteMarcia, this is so pretty. Love your Nordic theme with your Nordic Frame die and the pops of red peeking through. And your Joy with the poinsettia is perfect to complete your card. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Nordic inspired Christmas card. I love replacing letters in sentiments and your poinsettia “o” is awesome!
ReplyDeletethis is fabulous! Great way to use that stamp and get a bit of the Scandinavian feel to the card! I love these colors for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, Marcia! I, at first, thought you used patterned paper for "J" and "Y"! They look wonderful and add so much interest to the other solid-color elements. Your poinsettia is so pretty, and I love the red peeking through the die-cut frame!

Gorgeous white on kraft pattern for your J and Y, Marcia, and I love the poinsettia O. So perfect with that Scandinavian frame!!
ReplyDeleteI love this card Marcia, lovely use of the colours and simply design to just use the word 'JOY'... congrats on the 3 years of CAS Christmas too, Robyn
