Peace, Joy, Hope by Jo Piccirilli

Hey everyone!

Can you believe its October already??  Last month I received some gorgeous embossing folders and dies in my DT package and the Peaceful Ornaments embossing folder from the new Wrapped In Joy Collection really caught my eye.

I have made two simple cards with this folder. 



For this first card I ran 2 pieces of cardstock (one red, one white) through my machine using the Peaceful Ornaments embossing folder.

I then used my Circle Nesting Dies to cut out the three round baubles.

 
You can now just lay this red piece directly over the white piece.  Then with the left over circles that have been cut out, fold them in half and run a thin bead of glue down the fold and stick to the middle.  Finish with some pearls and ribbon.
 
I then cut the white embossed wording and positioned it on the red cardstock
 


My second card was very quick and easy.


With this card I simply ran a piece of white cardstock through my machine using the Peaceful Ornaments embossing folder

To "glam" up my baubles, I used the gold Glitzin Glamour.  I found the easiest way to do this was by just dabbing it on with my finger.  Then finished with some pearls and ribbon and you have a super quick but very pretty card!

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope I have inspired you to get a jump start on your Christmas crafting.
