Rubberstamp Tapestry Joy Card




















This is my card for this year. I broke all my well learned rules for producing a mass card for Christmas. Got so enthralled with making this card "just right" that by the time I thought "yes, that's it", this card had way too many parts for as many cards as I needed. The black background stamp is a Hero Arts stamp, the rest is a set by Rubberstamp Tapestry. Joy is one stamp, and then the leaves, and flora are two other stamps, and the berries, another stamp. I did each part separately and then put everything together, but really, I lost my mind when deciding to do this for every one. The card had to be cut, white piece for the background, the two black pieces, the red piece,the word piece, a ribbon which was applied with a strip of red tape to hold it which also was cut to size. I managed to complete about 45 cards, and then gave up and bought store cards for my husband's list of folks. On some of the cards that weren't mailed, I put red gems on the berries, for those mailed, red glitter glue was used, and that's what you see on this card. Back to simple for next year, and I'm starting in January-really! If you want to make me feel better, please leave me a comment telling me how you like it. If you want to motivate me to stick to the plan, leave a me "what were you thinking!" comment.
