Framed Joy - Stampin' Up! Alphabet a la Mode Dies

   Definitely don't overlook mixing and matching your supplies to create Christmas cards.  I combined a few die sets to create this fairly simple design.  The Alphabet a la Mode die set is a favorite of mine because you can fit a lot of letters/words on a card front with this set because they are nice and skinny.  Didn't really matter with this design but it's nice not to be limited by the letter size!  I created this one for the Just Us Girls challenge prompt of "Joy".

  The card front is covered with a piece of Nests of Winter DSP.  I used the Deckled Rectangle dies to create the Basic White frame.

  The Alphabet a la Mode dies, Festive Glimmer paper and foam adhesive sheets are used to create the "joy".  Making these letters pop with the foam sheets really makes for a nice look and saves you from having to use glue!  The 'to you' is trimmed from a longer sentiment in the Peaceful Season stamp set.

  Finally to frame out the letters I cut a pair of holly leaves and berries using more Festive Glimmer paper, Garden Green Two-Toned cardstock and the Reindeer Fun dies.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
