This week’s Global Design Project is a sketch challenge, giving me the opportunity to continue making Christmas cards, using beautiful designer papers.

Check out the sketch below, see how our designers used the sketch, then hang your creation in our gallery.

JOY

I began with a Soft Sea Foam card base, 8 1/2″ X 51/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, embossing the card front with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder.

Next, I used a Scalloped Contours Die, 4 1/2″ X 3″, to cut two pieces of designer paper. The top pattern is Painted Christmas, and the bottom is Heartwarming Hugs. I glued these on an angle to match the sketch.

It was exciting to learn that the musical notes on the Merry Melody Embossing Folder were “Joy to the World,” one of my favorite Christmas carols. So, the word “JOY” would make the perfect sentiment. Right?

I used the smallest Scalloped Contours die to cut Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, where I would place my word “JOY.”

The letters were created with Playful Alphabet Dies, Foam Adhesive Sheets, and Heartwarming Hugs Designer Paper.  I cut a 2″ X 1″ piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet, removed the covering on one side, and stuck 2″ X 1″ designer paper to it. Then, I placed the letters on top of the designer paper, and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with a normal “sandwich.” I ran it through a second time, upside down, to insure it was a good cut. After carefully removing the letters from the dies, I peeled the backside, and stuck them to the scalloped label. 

Finally, I attached the label with Dimensionals, and added a pretty bow with a Glue Dot. The ribbon is part of the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack.
