Sparkling Joy!

 That's sparkLing, not sparking - just imagine what Marie Kondo would say if she were to wander into my crafting space! 

I saw a photo recently that used the negative of this JOY die to allow a lovely background paper to show through, and thought it would look really festive with glitter card peeping through the spaces. Instead of replacing the white snowflake into its slot, though, I cut a second image in purple and used that for a bit more colour. 

That. of course, left me with a purple negative and a white snowflake - so I made another card. 


That's two more for the Christmas card box, and wouldn't it be a great card for a quick and easy batch bake? 



Now, of course, I am left with two J's and two Y's. So there are two more cards on the horizon - perhaps I can replace the snowflake with one cut using a different die. Or a circular button in a festive design. Or maybe a small die cut circle with a festive stamped image - the possibilities are endless. 

I am sharing this with

  2. Really lovely cards Jane. You could use your spare J's and Y's with a die cut bauble or little poinsettia instead of the letter O. Just a matter of size really. Or add a punched out circle in the coloured sparkle paper the same as the letters then pop a snowflake on top. As you say, load of possibilities!

    Hugs

  5. Great idea to use the die to cut the reverse image and build your word around it. You worked hard and got two done...god for you, Barb! They are both lovely cards.
