Joy to the world, my Christmas cards are done! I LOVE doing my holiday cards each year, but there's no denying it's a big chore and it feels good to get it checked off the list. I don't mind making the cards at all, but the addressing and stuff is not my favorite. BUT…this year I got a Dymo Labelwriter 450 and I LOVE it… and I send so many more cards than I used to!
So this is my last design for the year, I guess! I knew I wanted to use the Joy to the World sentiment from Hearts Come Home, and the Sheet Music background stamp was a given.
I made two versions, one colored with Blends and one with accents added with a silver ZIG Painty Pen. The Shimmer Spray doesn't show up very well but they are shimmered with gorgeous Champagne Mist as well. The holly and poinsettia images came from Peaceful Poinsettia, and the flourish from Merry Christmas to All was the perfect finishing touch.
The Stamparatus was my friend for this card, for sure. I just lined things up once and then it was perfect for every card. Nice! Now, did you catch my BIG boo-boo? I am hoping most people won't look too closely at the music, because I did this on EVERY SINGLE ONE! I must have had the stack turned the wrong way. And I didn't notice until I had already stamped the words on all 50 of them. Ugh!
LOL! I decided I wasn't going to start over… my friends already know I'm a dork, and this will only confirm it. They're just gonna have to love me anyway. : )
I’m a color person so I think the color card is beautiful. You always do a super job on your cards.
Merry Christmas Lyssa

Wow!, I always do that kinda goof, makes me so mad…..and messes some things up too much to use…aauugghh! So glad someone else does it too, sometimes i wonder if my head is attached – makes us more human and the card homemade with love!
Your cards are beautiful! And if you hadn’t prompted me to look for the boo-boo, I never would have noticed! Just tell your friends and family that you were testing their observation skills! Lol! Have a merry and blessed Christmas!
Très jolie carte, j’aime beaucoup. bravo à toi Lyssa. Bisous
Love the one using the Blends. I’m sure only musicians will notice and even those of us that are probably wouldn’t have if you haven’t made us look closely. But I know how you feel. Ugh!
