Joy to the World 

Christmas Card

'Peace on Earth' 

Hello dear G45ers! 

Happy to share with you my
 Seasonal project this month
 featuring the beautiful Joy to the 

World Collection. This is such a beautiful 

Christmas line, I absolutely adore it!

I have created an A5 size Christmas Card

 using lots of different cutting dies, string, 

flowers and the collections pretty chipboard 

embellishments and ephemera cards.

Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you 

may use to recreate such a project:

G45 Supplies used:

Joy to the World 8x8 Paper Pad
Joy to the World Chipboard
Joy to the World Stickers
Joy to the World Ephemera Cards
Large Tag, ATC Tag and Flower Metal Dies

Matte Pearl Gems

Other Supplies used:

Various Cutting Dies

Wire
String

Flowers

White Cardstock

Eyelets
Scoring Board
Masking Tape
Foam Board/Cardboard

Cut an A5 size card from white cardstock 

and score in half.

Mat a sheet from the pattern sheets in the 8x8 

collection to fit the white cardstock card, leave

 a fairly large border. You can use your own discretion

 when measuring. Then add a mixed media texture 

cutting die to the bottom section and cut.

Tip: Use masking tape to keep the die in place,

thus making sure it stays in the position you 

want it.

Cut a few die-cut shapes for decoration

 and layering. 

Tip: Die-cut pieces work great for layering.

Use one of the larger ephemera cards 

and place a rectangle die over the image

 and cut. I used a stitched rectangle die. Mat

 this piece onto white cardstock. Also cut a 

tag from one of the smaller ephemera 

cards. Add an eyelet.

Add some matte pearl gems on the ephemera card.

Tip: These flat back pearls add great accents to 

cards. I love that the Graphic 45 pearls are 

self-adhesive. No need to glue. 

Layer the die-cut pieces and ephemera, adhere

 a piece of foam board (optional) behind the cluster.

Tip: Adding foam board will give the layered cluster

dimension. You could also use some cardboard

 instead of the foam board.

Tuck some of the die-cut leaves between 

the petals of the flowers.

Tip: By tucking the leaves between the

 flower petals,will give it some extra dimension.

Add some eyelets to the chipboard embellishments.

Add some string and wire underneath

 the flowers for extra texture.

Some more photos...

I hope this project inspires you to recreate

 your own, remember it is never too 

early to start making Christmas cards. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Papercrafting!
