Hello Crafty friends! I have the other half of the Joy card I created yesterday,
Here is a list of supplies I used on the card…

- Simon Says Stamp – Snowflake Cluster Stencil
- Simon Says Stamp – Blending Brushes
- Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink – Cadette
- Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink – Marine
- Simon Says Stamp Embossing Folder MAGNETIC
- Simon Says Stamp – Reverse Christmas Sentiments
- Simon Says Stamp – Silver Glitter Card Stock
- Pixie Spray for Stencil
- Simon Says Stamp – Big Momma foam Tape

- Simon Says Stamp Mega Thick 130 lb Card stock
- Neenah Solar White 80 lb Card stock
- Neenah Classic Crest 110 lb card stock – card base
- Cornflower Blue Jewels
I started by using a panel of Simon Says Stamp Mega Thick 130 lb Card stock (my favorite ink blending card stock) and my Snowflake Cluster Stencil. This is a really delicate stencil, so I sprayed the back with Pixie Spray so that I could get a nice crisp design when I was blending. I spritzed the stencil then fanned it for about 20 seconds before laying it down on the panel. I grabbed my Simon Says Stamp – Blending Brushes and my new favorite colors of Pawsitively Saturated Ink – Marine and Cadette. These are seriously my new favorite colors!
I was random with my concentrations of colors. I wanted to make sure there were some light spots, as well as some dark. Once I was happy, I removed the stencil and washed it immediately. Next, I grabbed the large joy die from the Holiday Workshop that Concord and 9th put on. I aligned it on the panel in a diagonal manner to be able to use the card panel as well as the cut out letters. I set the cut letters aside and grabbed some Silver Glitter Card Stock and cut the Joy out again from the silver. I made sure to keep some of the pieces of the “O” to be sure to glue them down. I wanted the inserted florals to match, so I swiped my inks onto a sheet of white paper and let it dry while I glued the letters down. Once I had the letters intserted and glued, I used the additional die cuts to cut out the floral dies to then glue into the letters. I used Gina K Connect Glue to glue all the things down. I added some cornflower blue jewels to finish the card off as well as a Reverse Christmas Sentiment.
