Spellbinders Dancin’ Gingerbread Card and Two Layered Joy Tree Stencil & Die Cards…

Hi everyone!  Getting festive with the gingerbread and trees today!  I love these characters from Spellbinders every year!  So so cute!

I also love these stencil and die sets!  I have this one and the Merry Christmas one.  I didn’t get the Merry Christmas one made into a card yet!  eek!  If only we didn’t need to do laundry, eat and sleep, oh and shop! hoho!

ok – Back to the gingers…

The green is bright!  But tealish and red would be so cute too!  I was going traditional but boom!  It’s bright for me! lol

So for all you green lovers, this one’s for you!

Now I wish I’d tied on a little jingle bell!  I even have some!  I will have to do that and just pay extra postage!  It’s only money, right?!  ha!

I used regular Distress inks on my JOY cards.  Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn, Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral. We were making these Thanksgiving day afternoon.  I copied Anya, one of my granddaughter’s colors!

I think we used Altenew colors for the Joy.  I can’t remember the names now.

One more picture of one stenciled on Hobby Lobby extra heavyweight kraft cardstock.  Pretty sure I used Distress Oxides on this one but more the Lucky Clover ones for the greens.

I hope your cardmaking is coming a long.  I have plenty to do still!

We started out this week hearing one of our granddaughter’s playing with one of our grandson’s fiance (wedding in March) yesterday morning…a string duet… it was so, so beautiful!

Tuesday night is a choir concert for a bunch of the grands…makes me so happy!

You all take care and all the joys and blessings of the season to you and yours!
