PP754 Sending You Cheer

Happy Sunday, peeps!  Time for a new Paper Players challenge with Ann as our hostess! And what a fun challenge she has for us:

Ann's challenge gave me the chance to use this cute new set called Jar of Joy!  Here we go:

I used the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches:

I stamped the jar, gingerbread and candy image and punched it out with the matching punch, then mounted it on a piece of Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP.  The horizontal strip is the opposite side of the green paper.  I added some Peppermint embellishments for more candy fun!

The sentiment on the front is from another new set called Wishing You Joy:

I added a little piece of DSP on the inside, as well as another sentiment from Jar of Joy:

There are endless possibilities for our challenge this week! Be sure to hop over to the Paper Players and see what the other designers came up with! And while you're there, be sure to welcome our new team member, Christy!  She's been playing with us for a long time, and we're happy to have her on the team! Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Happy Little Jar of Joy

 Happy Friday, all! Hope you have some fun weekend plans! We plan to go out on the boat tomorrow with some family!  

I have a cute little card today using the new set called Jar of Joy along with its matching punch! I was experimenting with a fun bookbinding fold I recently saw (I believe it was on the Inque Spot's blog), and so had a card already made but had never finished.  I used some retired Parakeet Party papers for the base, but needed a focal point.  I was looking at the images in the Jar of Joy set and thought how cute that little snowman would look in some non-traditional Christmas colors! So here we go:

I stamped the snowman in Versafine Black and his hat & scarf in Strawberry Slush.  I added some Balmy Blue snowflakes and some Wink of Stella for snow!  The jar was stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and the lid was also created using Strawberry Slush, shaded with a blender pen:

It went on a Every Day Arches diecut, using the Toadstool Gardens DSP.  I stamped a sentiment from Tractor & Co, then another Jar of Joy sentiment on the inside:

There are more cute little images to put inside the jar, so I know I'll be using this again!  I am going to enter this at the Krafty Chicks challenge, where "Anything Goes"!

Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
