Christmas Joy with boho inspiration CTC#530

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)

This week, we are CASEING the Boho Vibes Suite.

I thought I'd give this fun technique a try where you cut out the die cut to see the patterened paper underneath.  I don't think min is as cool as the rainbow, but it's a fun idea!  I've used the Everyday Happiness designer paper inside the die cut window. 

I've used the new Jolly Holly bundle from our ONline Exclusive collection.  I embossed the fabulous two tone Pretty Peacock cardstock with the Jolly Holly embossing folder, and then sanded the top lightly with sand paper.  I then dabbed on colour for the berries using a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend.  The colour soaked into the white sanded berries sooo beautifully!!  

The extra Holly leaves was stamped and coloured from the coordinating Jolly Holly stamp set.  And the Cherry Cobbler berries embellishments work perfectly!!  This is my first Christmas Card for this year!!  I created it for our Christmas in July Team Lunch and it's actually a little Note Card.  

I couldn't waste the lovely die cut 'joy' word, so I've used that on the inside of the card.  

Up next is the extraordinary Rachel

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of great ideas!
