June Christmas cards: Sparkly joy

For my June Christmas cards, I have a design that is easy to mass produce, nice and flat for mailing, and festive and sparkly to boot!

Supplies:
Stamps: Joyful Noel (Concord & 9th)
Paper: Whisper White note cards and envelopes, red glimmer paper (Stampin' Up!)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black (Tsukineko); Real Red, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Berry Burst markers (Stampin' Up!)
Accessories: Joyful Noel dies (Concord & 9th), Art Glitter Glue

These cards are pretty self-explanatory, but here's a quick rundown of the process. I started by stamping the wreath in the middle of each card base -- I didn't measure for perfect placement, just eyeballed it -- and then the sentiment in the middle of each wreath. I made six cards of this design and did all the stamping first so the ink had time to dry and wouldn't smear when I was coloring.

And while the ink was drying I die cut all the letters out of red glimmer paper. It doesn't look too impressive in the photo, but that sparkle really does add some "oomph." I glued a J and a Y on each card and then colored the little lights on the wreath. I could have added more sparkle by coloring the lights with glitter pens or by adding some embellishments, but I decided that I liked this simple "Joy" just the way it was.

I hope your day is filled with joy -- and a little sparkle! Thanks for stopping by!
