Joy, joy, joy!

I’m using old book pages in some of my Christmas cards this year, partly because ‘Bookish Christmas’ was the theme of my recent Christmas card workshop but also because I am still enjoying creating with vintage papers.
All of the cards featured today are variations on a theme; I left the ‘O’ out of Joy and replaced it with a bauble. All the baubles except one I cut from Christmas carol music. One is cut from a map because joy to the ‘world’… get it? I used different Penny Black ‘JOY’ dies for the large letters. I used circle dies or bauble dies for the baubles.
I used embossing folders and patterned papers for the background and some die-cut foliage and bows to decorate the baubles.
For these last two cards I cut the j and the y with Pinkfresh Studio alphabet dies and added very cute little baubles to replace the o.

These are great! Thanks for sharing
I have that Big Joy die too and I just love how you have used it in your card, that little joy is sweet too!
I love all your cards filled with lots of joy as well as the word ‘JOY’ Heather, and the papers and the bits of music make a wonderful combination, and I love the globe with the piece of a map showing Australia, and lots of lovely die cut foliage and berries, and a pretty bow or two as finishing touches. x
How fun are these. Love the idea of using old book pages. These are terrific and so festive!
These book pages make lovely ornaments, Heather! And it’s a great way to use some of that pretty Christmas paper! Six fantastic ways to spread Christmas joy!
Love this – so clever to use the book print x
Gorgeous JOY cards Heather. I have also made several using JOY dies and they are so fun and creative to make! Great work! xx
